Thanks to all the the vauluable advice:
Grant Lowe
Michael Stapleton (Hit it on the head with the hardware call!)
Vinnie German
Bruce Wilkins
Alex Vinson

The problem was in the network hardware. (bad port on hub)

I switched the connection and all is well with the configuration as
described below.
