The fault could be either with your cable, hub/switch. Rarely it might
be an autonegotiation issue between your host and the switch...
1)Check and if possibly replace your host's cable with a known good
working one.
2)If the problem persists, try to change the port on the hub switch. If
you connect to a managed switch, it could probably give you more useful
stats.
3)Sometimes, autonegotiation (speed and duplex settings) between your
server and a switch is to blame. Check that both your host's card and
the switch are on the same duplex and speed settings. If your switch
supports the option of autonegotiation, turn it off and set the switch
port explicitly to what your server ethernet card supports by default
(eg, 100 Mbps FD , etc...).
If neither 1) 2) 3) solve the problem, something is happenning with your
server interface. In that case, dmesg and cat /proc/net/dev might give
us slightly more info than the netstat -i .

Hi,
In one of our Linux servers (RHEL-AS2.1 Update 5), the ping response was
very slow. From the following, it looks like there is a packet loss&
transmission errors (80% packet loss, TX-ERR=39962) . Please suggest how
to resolve this issue.
