I just ran into a completely unexpected problem. It appears that the Kingston SOHO Hubs don't do TCP. They do NETBEUI very well. After 4 hours of troubleshooting I went home and got my cheap Bay Networks 8 port hub and everything worked. This is to hopefully prevent others from running into the same problem.

POE is not a requirement

...But I think it should work. Check it out: * Get 2 computers with 2 NICs * Install your favorite Linux distro on each * Partition the drive into 4 partitions. Two are Dom0 OS and swap, two unformatted. * Connect the intra-node NICs with a crossover/switch/hub (Didja know that gigabit NICs are auto-MDIX? No crossover needed!) * Configure the intra-node IPs to something like 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 or 192.168... * Install Xen * Install ATA over Ethernet and VBlade in Dom0 * Node1: vblade 0 1 /dev/hda3 eth1 # This is one of the unformatted partitions * Node2: vblade 0 2 /dev/hda4 eth1 # The other #...
