Nuno Good call - I got my Client onto the switch and checked through the config. Sure enough one of the firewalls was plugged into a port that was mapped to a different VLAN. Fixed that and it instantly sprang into life :-)
I am of course kicking myself: a) Not checking the install thoroughly before I left the datacentre last week b) Not doing the one obvious thing that would have told me about what was happening from remote over the weekend - I could have pinged the other firewall across that interface that was causing the problems (or not as it transpires) :-( So - lessons learnt all round. Now, as to the problem that other people are having with their Intel Pro/1000 interfaces I am not sure. Maybe it is the dual/quad nic cards that are iffy? My boxen are Portwell comms servers with 4 discrete Gigabit ports on the motherboard. Now that the box is working as planned, it is time to throw the big switch and let the data through to really loadtest the system.
