None of the computers in question have any firewalls (except some
Windows XP SP3 default firewalls, but there port 7001/UDP is open)
On any of the linux computers the iptables -L gives:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination        

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination        

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination        
Besides that everything is connected at layer 2, there are no routers
between, the switches are HP Procurve and Openvswitch (Xen Cloud Platform)
