Also from another unit I can ping through the switch to the router without any problems. Given that hping works is it possible that it's a switch/network related problem - I had thought it would definitely be a problem on the unit (a buffer or something perhaps) seeing as hping works fine?

That seems to indicate it's something card > specific, but hping never has a problem ? As you tell the onboard em-card has the same problems: You directly connect to the router? Have you tried to connect a switch between? What if you ping (with a switch between) another ip at the same subnet? Kind regards, Ingo Flascberger
