Sorry about that, Lindsay.  Replies go directly to you.  Heh, heh.

Additionally, you might check MTU sizes.  I've seen situations where
switches/routers were set to one, the clients were set to another, larger,
if I remember correctly, and a "do not split packet" caused all sorts of
havok.  But really, if you're losing packets on ping, your networking guys
should be able to analyze the packets and tell you what the problem is.
