The only relevant difference I can think of between GPA and a switch like this is that at GPA, there's a DHCP server handing out addresses. On a simple switch with no internet connection, the computers have to adopt link-local IP addresses (169.*).
One possibility is that, in the absence of a DHCP server, the computers are not correctly acquiring link-local addresses. Bill can confirm this on Monday, I guess, by looking at the IP addresses shown in ifconfig in the no-internet configuration. > Note that not seeing anyone in the neighborhood, and seeing people but not > having all shared activities work all the time are probably two different > bugs. We do sometimes have trouble with seeing activities at the GPA, but we > always see the other people. Agreed. These are different issues.
