This was suggested via private e-mail, so I reconfigured the machine to
swap the interfaces. Same behavior--it won't talk to the LAN and the
LAN won't talk to it, but it'll see the Internet just fine. I think
(without being 100% certain) that this would exclude the possibility of
a hardware failure.
What strikes me as particularly odd is that my 4.1b3 box reports "host
unreachable" when I try to ping the 4.0.1 machine. I can understand why
the 4.0.1 box would do this, say if the routing table were hosed in some
way, but I'd expect things like "request timed out" or just no response
from the other machines.
