Kevin: I had a similar problem a while back, after a power failure. Same symptoms, which was that I could do a "partial" ping, as you described. Same solution, too. Replaced the NIC card. Wish I had an explanation, but I do not. But I thought you'd appreciate knowing you were not alone in your experience. If anyone else has an explanation for us, please share!
