[Gllug] 4/5 pings fail

[Murray]

any ideas?

while pinging my linux box/server/router, the first 6 to 10 pings succeed in
<10ms.

from then on, only about 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 succeed.

pinging the adsl router, or an external site works perfectly fine.

I'm not sure how to debug this...?     2.4.0 Kernel
