I wish I understand *why* what I did fixed the problem that I still don’t understand, but it did.

I was just trying to get all 5 VMs involved onto one host so I could snoop on the traffic between them more easily.

I’m blaming stuck ARP or Spanning Tree. Two of those VMs were briefly fighting over the same IP last night before I fixed the freshly-minted clone to use its proper new one.
