I've been using a netmask of 255.255.255.0 on all the machines.

It looks like there's some confusion about the netmask.  From an earlier
message, your routing table shows a netmask of 255.255.0.0 for ae0:

(you can tell because the "link #1" line only shows the first two
octets of the address)

but according to ifconfig, your interface has a netmask of
255.255.255.0:

                       ^                             ^
                   these were                   on my earlier
                     typos                         posts

What do you use for a netmask under MacOS?
