Well thank you, those ideas will be used in the next round of testing today. Once its all over I'll put a completed module targeted for that (rare) kind of broken playground in CUFP :) With a list of limitations of course...
Update:
this change solved part of the problem and the code should run without issues on a hub, now it seems that the router is blocking gratuitous arp replies, directed or not. This will require more investigation but I suppose a simple hub instead of a router/switch would let those through.
One possible explanation that I would love anyone in the know to confirm or deny is the following:<br
Even though arp is stateless the router keeps tracks of arp requests and replies and will only let a reply through if it has been preceded by a request AND|OR is agreeing with its own arp table

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
