Well, the stupidity just keeps on coming. Thanks for all of your posts I followed all of your advice and was able to resolve the problem. As I wrote in the first post I have been banging my head against this problem for around 60 hours, until I finally gave up and decided to post.
The answer is a bit embarrassing as I should have checked this issue within minutes if not hours of these problems cropping up. Here goes: The IP address that the Network Admin gave me was being used. DUH!!!!! I was able to determine this from the arp -a and the ethereal packet traces, and found that on a very irregular basis the packets would get sent to the wrong system. Obviously this explains all of the problems that I experienced. Again, I should have checked this as one of the very first things, but for what ever reason I assumed that those most basic of configurations was correct. Wrong! Sorry for the rabbit hole guys, but if I had not gotten these suggestions from ya'll I would have been stuck at this point until I just gave up. (Or decided to shoot the damned thing, whichever came first.)
