Hi Soren,
According to the output in the attachments, IP inReceives does increase
while ICMP statistics stay the same, no drops or errors. As far as I can
say, e1000g is fine to transmit and receive the data. I expect someone
familiar with the IP layer can continue the diagnosis.
Regards,
Miles

At some point the packets are dropped in the stack.
Please find the ip
and icmp statistics.
kstat -m ip -n ip 1
kstat -m ip -n icmp 1
This morning the Solaris system was still up. I woke my MacBook from sleep,
copied a file to the ZFS share, copied that file from the ZFS share to a
Windows machine, and the Solaris server hung. Not sure if that's correlation or
causation, but I should also note that for some reason my Windows machine can't
mount a CIFS share if the Mac is already sharing (but not vice-versa). This bug
might be triggered by some sort of race condition.
Anyway, here's this morning's test. Pings are being sent from Solaris to the
Mac, Wireshark running on the mac is reporting that the pings are being
received and replied to, but the replies aren't being heard.
By the way I've got a sysadmin friend working for eBay (a major Solaris
customer) who told me this:
"so apparently we've seen a bug in the last week, where some machines will
unregister their mac addresses. i wonder if it's related. i will let you know what i hear
back. we have platinum tech support, so i'll probably hear sooner than you will."
Could that be what's happening? Can Solaris send just fine, but it's not getting the
replies (and sending out a lot of ARP "who has my IP" packets) because it's
lost its own mac address so it doesn't know what to listen for anymore?
Thanks again for your continued help.
