Hping/Ping

[Dave Raven]

Hi Ingo,
	I get the drops with other IP addresses on the same switch as well.
Also from another unit I can ping through the switch to the router without
any problems. 

Given that hping works is it possible that it's a switch/network related
problem - I had thought it would definitely be a problem on the unit (a
buffer or something perhaps) seeing as hping works fine?

Thanks again
Dave

As you tell the onboard em-card has the same problems:
You directly connect to the router?
Have you tried to connect a switch between?
What if you ping (with a switch between) another ip at the same subnet?

Kind regards,
