What happens is that the gateway Intermittantly (Randomly, but at least once every hour or so) stops being able to send data to local machines (the ones its sharing Internet to).
Basically the client machines can ping the server itself fine, but if they try to ping anything OUTSIDE the network (on the Internet) they get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ C:\> ping 192.231.203.132
Pinging 192.231.203.132 with 32 bytes of data:

Also during this time if I try to ping FROM the server to the clients it just gets no response.
I've tried now with three different LAN cards (Different brands and chipsets) and it happens with all of them. The problem happens every couple of hours and isnt affecting the connection to the Internet (the server can ping stuff on the Internet via its PPPoE connection with no problems whatsoever). I've also tried upgrading to the latest kernel version and it seemed to fix it for 24hours, but on reboot its started again.
I'll try to provide ANY other info possible if more is needed.
I really hope I can get this issue sorted soon
Thanks,
Sam.
