Maybe a wild shot, but we had this problem once. Is the default gateway 192.168.0.1? Vendor brought in a DVR with had a static ip configured to that same. Chased that one down for quite a while. Could be someone brought in a wap or other device with same ip as the default gateway.

The machine in question is an HP box running XP Pro and is used for video editing. When the editor tries to access network resources, he sometimes loses his network connection and his process basically locks up. This happens during simple file transfers through Explorer. Here's where it gets weird... I started a continuos ping (ping -t) to the file server in question, and everything looks great. No lost packets at all. I then ran the same ping to the default gateway and I'm seeing a lot of Request time outs. I'd say 10-15% of the ping requests fail. Any idea why I'd have trouble pinging the DG, but not a resource on the other side of the DG?
