Hi Dag,

 So if each system sees only its own carp traffic it makes sense that 
 each would consider themselves master. I assume that the systems can 
 send and receive tcp icmp, and udp traffic.

Yes. I've turned pf off just in case.

 Is it possible that the switch is not carrying multicast traffic?.

This could very well be, so I did try the crossover cable. No luck,
unfortunately. No carp traffic is coming through.

The HP switch these systems were connected to had two carp combos
running perfectly, btw.

Thanks... Nico

Hi all,

I have a new carp setup that somehow just won't work.

The two machines are Jetway mini-itx J7F4 machines, dual Gb LAN. dmesg

other with a crossover cable do they (pointlessly) negotiate proper carp 
relationships?
