OptiPlex 780 drops packets
Hello Everyone,
I'm having a problem with a Dell OptiPlex 780, 64-bit, Windows 7, machine that is dropping packets. The NIC is an Intel 82567LM-3 GB. So far I've done the following:
Swapped out the cables on both ends - PC and Switch
Updated the NIC drivers
Disconnected the mapped drives and reconnected them
When I ping the file server from the PC I get a significant % of packet loss.
Also, just to be sure of the cable issue - I connected another computer to the network port in the users office, and all worked well - from the other computer.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you just DL the iso, and burn it using your favorite iso burner, like CDBurnerXP, you can boot to it and run it as a standalone OS, to rule out YOUR installation of Windows.....

Thanks everyone for you help and ideas. It turned out to be a bad NIC. Replacing the NIC solved the problem.

No, I don't have another card handy and I'm not familiar with UBCD/Knoppix.
