I have a situation I have never run up against. I have a WIN server 2003 network with about 30 clients, I have one (and only one) computer that is very slow over the network. We use static Ip’s and it does have a unique address:
win XP pro sp2
Asus M2N68-LA all-in-one Main board
Athalon 4450B
2gb Ram
nvidia nforce network controller
the only symptom I can find is when I ping packet size larger than 5910 I get 100% packet loss, 5910 gives me 1-2 ms response times.
so far I have with no change in packet loss:
(not in actual order listed)
1) moved this system to other switches even to putting it directly on the switch I use for my servers.
2)disabled the nvidia Nic and installed a 3com 10/100
3)restored the operating system to factory.
4)updated all bios, chipsets, drivers and cpu firmware
5) swapped the memory out
6) swapped the main board out
I am replacing the entire system but this problem is getting under my skin, I would really like to figure this one out.
thanks
Doug
