Aren't both of those normal for point-to-point connections? I just
tried it on another remote link and it comes up exactly the same...  I
don't ultimately care about getting anywhere else as long as .1.2
works.

I can't test at the moment since the other end isn't responding at
all, but if this were the case why would it have worked on XP? Unless
there's some funky nonstandard IP stack in the way that Linux isn't
liking, but I don't think I want to ponder the implications...
