Hi,

I'm going to try and run mtr for a while and see what that comes up with.

this is not a complicated network - about 35 devices connected to a new 
48 port managed switch with another small switch connecting 5 devices 
upstairs, central Linux server and linux firewall to DSL connection. The 
issues are not related to external communications, all internal.

Primary traffic on the switch is UDP and when I do netstat -su on the 
Linux server, this is what I get:
qbx-dump # netstat -su
Udp:
    9684190 packets received
    38037 packets to unknown port received.
    130595 packet receive errors
    9191528 packets sent

The packet receive errors and the packets to unknown ports are the ones 
that concern me - doing research on the 'net points to network errors, 
so back to my original thought - that it is a network error but how do I 
track it down?
