I had everything working great. Perfectly! So I move the servers I'm working
on into the computer room, hook them up to the KVM switch, and boot them all
up. Things look ok, so I go to a machine on the outside of this net
connection, and call up the web site that is now in my bridged / firewalled
dmz. Page dies! This had been working fine! 

Ping the server and get 58% packet loss!!! WTF?!? 

So now I go to the actuall bridge firewall machine itself. Ping the web
server that is bridged right off this machine. 53% packet loss. the two
servers in the DMZ ping eachother with no packet loss. The bridge/firewall
can ping any machine on the internet with no loss. So basically anything
going through my eth2 gets almost 50% loss every time! 

Now being worried, I pinged the internal net. I got a 12% loss. This doesn't
use bridging at all! Both eth2 and eth1 use the Tulip drivers. Are there
problems with these??

I checked with different cables, same problem. Looks like somehow during
shutdown/move/reboot eth2 went belly up. 1st time I've run into this at all.
So, I figured I'd asked to see if anyone has ever had a packet loss issue
with bridging. I doubt it is that. I'm going to try different drivers and or
nics tomorrow. 

frustrated,
chris
