Hi,

We have pinned it down even further. 
Problem server has multiple nic. Test server is connected to eth0 of problem 
server.

Using the test server:
Ping the switch to which the problem server is connected and I have no packet 
loss.
Ping the ip for eth0 and I have no packet loss.
Ping the ip for eth1 and I DO have packet loss.

Seems it is going wrong somewhere after the packet has arrived on the server 
and gets lost in routing or something like it.

The eth0 NIC uses the Trigon3 driver. Others use the Trigon3 or the Intel Pro 
1000 driver.

I cannot just remove the firewall as it is needed for the correct function of 
the server, it's function is to be a router/firewall.

Switch logs show nothing wrong. Ethernet port speeds/duplex settings have been 
checked and are ok.

Pinging other machines on the network from the test server shows no packet loss 
so it seems it is not a network problem but realy a problem on that server 
itself.

Yours sincerely,

How have you verified that this host is the reason? What reports traceroute or 
better mtr?

Do you have still packet loss if you completely disable the firewall?
How does it looks like if you ping from box itself? I assume it's a switched 
network, anything in the switch logfile?

What network driver is loaded and what kernel is used? Have you tried to boot 
an older kernel?

How many hops are between the host you have pinged from?
