Hi all
I've been experiencing some network issues I've never seen before (in 20 years of (admittedly home LAN) experience). One of my machines was showing 8% packet loss when pinging the same site as another machine on the same hub at the same time which was reporting 0%. This proves it had to be a local fault and sure enough - swapping the 8% machine's cable for a new one resulted in 0% loss. What I find odd though is why not 0% or 100%? Surely the wires inside the cable can only break - it wasn't as if the cable was being moved around - it was stationary. To lose one packet every 12 or so seems very odd for a cable issue. As I say, with new cable installed, it's now at 0% packet loss so all is well that ends well but would the issue have been to do with: a) the length of the cable or b) the quality of the cable or c) both? Cheers Rob
