traceroute.
Run a couple of traceroutes from other locations to your hosts and vice
verca.. that should show you where along the line the problem is.
I found a bad TP-cable with traceroute once =)

Subject: Packet loss
Need a little help here, as i don't know where to look next....
Question: what tools can i use to investigate packet loss problems?
I have 3 servers running on two machines, set up on the lan at work, but
open to the net. and all servers are getting bad packet loss troubles.
This problem started suddenly, after over 8 months of everything fine
(prob started before the new patch, so i don't believe it's related).
and since both machines have the problem, i'm guessing its a local
network problem... Pings are still fine for everyone, but the connection
time as increased (often times out), and the packet loss is way high. I
have tried running the servers clean, without metamod & all, but the
problem is the same. I have no other service on the machines other than
hlds_l, and i'm the only user...
anyone have an idea what could be causing these problems? and how could
i investigate farther?
thx
