If I may, would this possibility not have been obviated when Dale connected a Win98 box to the line and had no loss in pings? Thank you, Scott. I've downloaded the software and I'll give it a try momentarily. Update: I'm in Boise, more confused than ever. Pings from the Win98 box (which is directly connected to the 4-port hub on the FlowPoint 2200 DSL router) on which I'm composing this message to anywhere never drop. When I connect the DachBox to the same DSL LAN port packets are dropped at a rate of anywhere from 20% to 100%. Connecting my Apple laptop (OS 10.3) in the same way packets are dropped anywhere from 0% to 50%. From the laptop, I got results of 2%, 4%, 14%, 30%, and 50% (not in that order) when I sent 50 packets to the DSL router or to my webserver in Seattle. Also, I connected the laptop to the DachBox via a crossover cable and dropped no packets from the laptop to the LEAF router or from the LEAF router to the laptop. Before I did this testing, I completely disabled ipsec to remove that variable. I installed and ran tcpdump -i eth0 (the public address) not port ssh as Peter Mueller suggested, and got a flood of results that in no way resembled his example. I was not able to tell anything from that. I called the ISP and a tech ran through some tests with me. He logged in to the DSL router and sent pings to this computer when I had it connected, and to the LEAF public address (64.113.213.14) after I hooked it back up. Pings from the DSL router to this computer were perfect. Pings to the DachBox dropped at a rate of 30%. All of which told him that the problem was the LEAF router. He could not explain why the PowerBook dropped packets as well. As he pointed out (accurately, as far as I know) the DSL router can't tell the difference between a packet from a *nix client and one from a Windows client. Still, something strange is going on there. While I was on the phone with ISP tech support, the replacement DachBox2 arrived from Seattle. I terminated that call (we'd done just about all we could think of anyway) and I hooked up the new box. Same results. Dropped packets all over the place. Unless we want to postulate a very untimely double fault, I don't know what to make of that. The bottom line to all of the above is that I'm more stumped than ever and don't know what to do next. I suppose I'll try to replace the eth0 NIC in the DachBox2 to try to eliminate the double fault possibility. I actually tried to do that earlier today as well, but neither of the NICS worked after that. When I restored the NIC I'd removed, they worked again. I don't know how to get the ISP to seriously consider the possibility that their connection could be at fault. They simply don't see any problem from their end. If possible, I'm more open than ever to any suggestion. Dale Mirenda --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

I'm trying to get them to explain the following: I tried another set of ping tests from the LEAF router (the replacement from Seattle). This time, I disconnected the DSL line from the FP2200. The first set of 40 packets lost 5%, the second lost 10%. I waited about a minute before sending a third set of 40 packets, and the loss rate went up to 27%. A fourth set sent soon after lost 30%. I reconnected the DSL line and sent another set of 40 packets. 50% loss. Subsequent tests indicated that the connection continued to degrade until it topped out at about 85% loss. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

The bottom line to all of the above is that I'm more stumped than ever and don't know what to do next. I suppose I'll try to replace the eth0 NIC in the DachBox2 to try to eliminate the double fault possibility. I actually tried to do that earlier today as well, but neither of the NICS worked after that. When I restored the NIC I'd removed, they worked again. How are you doing the test with the Linux router? Are you using a server behind it? Are you connecting the private interface at all? Please make sure the private end is disconnected and try again if it was connected. If the private end was disconnected, run tcpdump on the public interface and post the results here. You can email me directly if the results are a file too large to post on a mailing list. I don't know how to get the ISP to seriously consider the possibility that their connection could be at fault. They simply don't see any problem from their end. That's not surprising. It's hard enough to get most ISPs to do anything when you can tell them exactly what's wrong. If Apple is supported, call again and open a new ticket. Tell them you have tried two Macintoshes (make the LEAF results Apple results). If possible, I'm more open than ever to any suggestion. Can you post the results of ifconfig after some packet loss? Also, if you could post an ASCII map of your network that might tell us something. IPs are not necessary but it wouldn't hurt to double-check all these settings on your own. (This has bit me a few times with all sorts of strange results).
