I've a Gentoo box on one end and Debian box on the other. the following routes are there --

Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1

eth1            1      ff02::1:ff7b:de09
eth1            1      ff02::1


Unicast ping works, but multicast does not, i.e. ping 224.0.0.1 gives no replies from either boxes. In the mean time all the lights on the switch blink when pinging.
