Yes sorry I keep switching between between Ethernet ports for testing
so I hand edited the email.

Nope the two nodes are connected back to back. Does the number of
Ethernet interfaces make a difference? As you can see I've got 3 on
each node. One is completely disconnected, one is for booting over TFTP
 (only used by U-boot) and the other is the USB Ethernet I'm using for
testing.
