Arch Linux
I am not really a newbie but I think this may be a newbie problem. Here’s the story. I have been happily running Arch on my main Desktop PC for over a year now and everything has been working well with it. During this time I also had two Ubuntu installs(one is a Server and the other was an HTPC) running on the network along with various other devices(Xbox, Playstation3, a couple media streamers) and all the devices seemed to coexist fine and talk to each other. Recently I pulled the Ubuntu based HTPC out of service. I stripped it down and moved some components around between my PC’s and am now setting up the new PC to replace my Ubuntu server. I decided to use Arch as the basis for the new improved server. So currently I have 3 pc’s hooked up to the network and they are named as follows:
Ubuntu Server — ouldserver
Arch Desktop Install — hal
New Arch Server — deathstar
From ouldserver I can ping both Arch Install, transfer files back and forth and SSH into either.
From both Arch installs I can ping, SSH and transfer files to ouldserver.
I cannot ping, SSH or transfer files between either Arch machine.

Hal’s conf files are identical for our intents here. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Re: SOLVED Unable to Ping(or connect at all) between Arch Installs
from both boxes ping the ouldserver. After a successful ping, try to ping each other.
Also, from Arch boxes the output of ifconfig -a and route -n would be useful to make sure nothing funky is going on.
Feel free to sanitize any public IPs in ifconfig/route
*edit: Also, how are they physically linked up?

Re: SOLVED Unable to Ping(or connect at all) between Arch Installs
Can you do the following:
from both boxes ping the ouldserver. After a successful ping, try to ping each other.

Run: arp -n
paste the output here.
Also, from Arch boxes the output of ifconfig -a and route -n would be useful to make sure nothing funky is going on.
