Mark, I can PING the GATEWAY from NOVSTART but not my pc. My pc is not running a FTP server so it should not respond, right?
Gateway ping 172.16.24.2 ping 172.16.24.2 PING 172.16.24.2 (172.16.24.2) 56(84) bytes of data.

Can you ping your default gateway from the Linux system? If so, then see if you can do a traceroute to your desktop IP address from the Linux system. If you can get to the next hop past your default gateway, then my first guess is that your firewalls aren't allowing incoming connections on FTP and SSH. -snip- > COUPLE 340 SYSTEM VSWITCH1 (is this COUPLE needed???) Technically speaking, no. But, it doesn't hurt, and if at some point you are playing around testing something, and you decide (for whatever reason) to uncouple the NIC, then forget to re-couple it, this will save you some hassle. >From the Linux system, what does "ifconfig" and "route -n" show?
