If this was a hardware issue, I think it would cause the same problem with
v1.4.1, but it doesn't. I'm not changing a thing in either computer except
the version of dyne, v.1.4.1 works fine, none of the v.2x series. Since
it's a problem with both computers, I'm now wondering if there is something
about the gateway that is causing the problem. Does anyone know if there is
something different in the way v.2.x handles the LAN compared to v.1.4.1?
