Hey all,

I've got a box with networking issues.

The machine is on a bridge with all of the other domU VMs.  In most cases, it can ping others on the bridge at a reasonable speed.  However, sometimes we get something like this:

<pre>
$ ping colliertech.com
PING colliertech.com (66.152.65.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 66.152.65.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.735 ms
64 bytes from 66.152.65.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.694 ms
64 bytes from 66.152.65.3 : icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.736 ms

--- colliertech.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 15578ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.694/0.721/0.736/0.036 ms
</pre>


see how the ping times are reasonable, but the total time is 15 seconds?  There is a 5 second-ish delay between send and receive of those packets even though they are reporting a rtt of .7ms

Worse, I can't even ping anything that's not on the bridge.  the router is 66.152.65.1, and this box receives no results from pinging that one.

<pre>
$ ping 66.152.65.1
PING 66.152.65.1 ( 66.152.65.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 66.152.65.1 ping statistics ---
6 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 5006ms
</pre>

tcpdump tells me that ping requests make it at least as far as the dom0:

<pre>
cjcollier@debian1:~$ sudo tcpdump -i xenbr0 'icmp[icmptype] = icmp-echo or icmp[icmptype] = icmp-echoreply'
tcpdump: WARNING: xenbr0: no IPv4 address assigned

help? :)
