Have you tried running fping on the BBNET server using both the hostname
and the IP address ? Hobbit uses the hostname, and if that gets resolved
to something other than the IP address you expect, strange things can 
happen.

A telltale sign is if the IP address reported in the "conn" status is
something other than what you would expect.


Does it also fail if you login to the BBNET server and run

   bbcmd bbtest-net --debug --ping HOSTNAME.OF.BBNET.SERVER

The debug output includes any errors that Hobbit has when trying to run
fping. It also saves some fping-std* files in the 
~hobbit/server/tmp/ directory - those might be interesting 
to look at.
