seting up two hubs

[Peter]

I can imagine that might be a problem, although I don't think broadcasts
normally pass through routers, so I doubt they left your little part of
the world. I wouldn't be surprised if it confused Windows, though,
which wouldn't know whether it was dealing with a Class A or C network.

I don't think it was passing through the *switch* whereas with the hub
it worked OK.

So does it work correctly now that you've reset the mask on the
offending machine?

Yes, but replacing the cables reduced the discovery time from say 20
secs to immediate.
