I think I've confused things here. 10.2.1.7 is the IP address of the laptop. 
It's not going out over the wire. 10.2.1.1 was the remote host I was trying.

Now I'm confused.  I'm at a different site today, but plugging into the same 
make/model switch, and everything's working fine.  I'm currently running 
up2date quite happily.

I would now suspect the switch I was using yesterday except that my dual-boot 
laptop was working fine yesterday in Windows.

Anyone got any ideas on why this would be, and how I can fix it - other than 
replacing the switch.
