Server A & B run on consumer grade motherboards/ram/nics. They both have a 12 disk raid 5 setup. Server C is a dual quad core xeon processor supermicro server. It's Disk setup is raid5 using the intel raid matrix. The switch is managed but i dont have the login information for it (been years since i've had to log in ;(). The switch is a netgear gigabit switch. I've had the cables replaced as well as trying two different ports on the switch, and ended up with the same results. I've included the netstat -ni results below. While we might be at a disadvantage until i get access to the managed switch, is there anything else we might be able to try , to resolve the problem?
