The machine in question sits between a consumer grade adsl modem and 3 different networks (so a total of 4 eth cards on the server). However, there is a high packet loss (25-50%) between server and adsl modem. cat /proc/net/dev reveals high error count on the receive side of the eth card connected to modem (transmit side has no errors). I changed the eth card and the network cable but the problem stays the same. The same eth card and cable works without any errors with a FC3 server. I am beginning to think that the errors are because of a faulty (on my part) sofware config. I am out of ideas to try. Any pointers to possible causes of high packet loss are highly appreciated.
