The= y may both respond to the ping, but your sation may not receive the reply. However, with one - and only one - device powered on, you *should* get a re= sponse.

This thread is moving rapidly from OT to TOT. If there's no objection, cons= idering the hardware & firmware we're discussing, we'll continue.
