[X4U] Ethernet out??

[Allan Hise]

Since your pings seem to be OK, at least when the G4 pings itself, have
you tried:
Pinging the G4 from the G3?
Pinging the G3 from the G4?
Comparing network settings between the G3 & G4, very carefully, and make
sure that only things that should be different are (IP address, for
example).

Is the link light on the hub lit for the port that the G4 is connected to?
If not, are you sure yourcable isn't a crossover cable? Plugging it into
the uplink port (and switching the uplink switch, if it has one) should
give you a link light.

If you don't get a link light, the cable is probably bad. Try swapping it
with the G3 cable. That will verify a bad cable easily. If the cable is
good, then the port itself has a problem.

Getting a link light is a very basic part of the ethernet system. If you
don't have one, something is probably wrong with the hardware. If you have
ruled out the cable, it must be the port.
