This is one for the networking experts:
I first thought the Ethernet port on the 520 would be bust, but local
connectivity seems to indicate otherwise. Am I missing anything obvious???
How to proceed to troubleshoot this one??
If you're using static IP addresses it has to either be corrupted TCP/IP prefs on the failing machine *or* the gateway address and/or the network mask are set wrong. ISTR that they have to be set manually in 8.1; they won't get the addresses from the DHCP server.
I'd wager on the latter, I'd bet, if you're using static addresses. If it's the latter, just trash the prefs file and set it up again. I've had that happen on occasion.
