[nflug] Help- At a Loss

[justin.bennett at dynabrade.com]

Thanks, That's what I'm doing now, I've only got my VPN Appliance plaugged 
in and the two servers and I don't have a problem. Everything looks good, 
I'm going to have him start to plug things back in one machine at a time. 
We'll see if we can find the device.

Thanks
Justin

It might be a failed network card on one of the nodes. If there aren't too
many, you might be able to try unplugging them one by one and if the 
packet
loss disappears, you found your problem. It could be the node or perhaps 
the
cable to one of the nodes.

                 Hey guys, 
 
                         This is a little off topic, but I need some help. 
I'm
experiencing some packet loss on an internal network at one of our remote
locations. I don't understand why, It's network wide, if I try to ping a
windows server from a local desktop, I'll loose between 6-19% of the
packets, If I ping one server from another, or desktop to desktop, I get
packet loss, so bad it's affecting the performance of the network to the
point where DNS lookups fail and sites can't be reached. I thought it was
the network switch there, but I had him replace it with a new one,
(different brand) same problem. Is there anything that may be causing 
this?
I'm looking for thoughts at the moment. Basically it's windows XP clients
doing DHCP to a Linux box running samba as a file server, and the a 
Windows
2003 server as their application system. 
 
                 Thanks 
                 Justin
