Sorry, I wasn't clear. I pinged from all 3 boxes with the same result.
The salient fact is that it works with one hub perfectly and not TWO
others (I just tried another brand of hub this morning) with the same
settings. And none of the cables are attached to the uplink port of the
hubs. Strange. Must be something internal to the hubs.
