Ok after having another play with this I have found that any of my windows servers/clients get a response straight away. I have changed the port and network cable and I have swopped the machine completely yesterday when it was displaying these charateristics.
I have now found that if I leave the ping cmd running it starts displaying the replies after 2 minutes.
I ahve replicated this with a VM on my workstation but that doesnt get a response for ten minutes :\ .
I am going do a vanilla debian install now to see whats what.
Ps I have verified the disc
Your switches and/or routers suck. Do they have some sort of QoS or other filtering enabled?
I have a full compliment of HP Procurve switches with nothing fancy set on them at the moment. The Ubuntu server it connected to the core switch which connects to every other switch around the school through fibre. The router/proxy is running on an old but decent workstation running smoothwall GPL with the advanced proxy mod.
Like I say everything else gets a response instantly it just doesnt seem to like these Ubuntu installs :P
Connect the Ubuntu box using a crossover cable to the LAN side of the Smoothwall box to eliminate any other cabling and/or switch defects that could be causing this problem.
Im starting to think it is the Smoothwall box for some reason as I left the Debian installing when I left and it could not get the security updates but will check properly tommorow.
Well I have got it sorted now it was the Smoothwall box and for some reason it didnt want to play nicely with any of Linux box no matter what IP etc it was on!!!! Anyway I have sorted out my CN box and all is well
Strange? I think so :P
ECN turned on perhaps?
No idea bit I doubt it given the amount of people that use smoothwall.
