Some (but not all) network hosts can't talk to each other
by dlanced from LinuxQuestions.org on (#557RK)
I'm having trouble with my local network. All the Linux hosts get DHCP addresses and connectivity. The problem is that they're not always able to communicate (SSH, ping) with each other. I've got two WiFi routers configured on channels far apart from each other. One router (my ISP's device) is at 192.168.1.1 and my TPLink AC1200 router is configured as an access point on the same network at 192.168.1.2.
Right now I've got a Raspberry Pi that was assigned 192.168.1.16 and has internet connectivity, but can't be seen or accessed from my primary workstation - even when it's connected through the same router (that would be the TPLink, at the moment). And I can't SSH from the Pi to my workstation, But my laptop - on the same network and logged in through the same router - can SSH in and pick the Pi up on nmap.
Another issue that I think may be related is that, for some reason, I'm not always able to refer to all the hosts by "hostname.local" - although they'll generally work using the IP address (except when they're "off" the network, of course).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
