labist Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Dear all I have a problem in my Computers network. We have more than hundered computersin our network. When I ping from my computer to other computers that are on the same switch. Does notshow any problem. But when I ping to the computers that are on the switched which are not directly connected to the sameswitch but are on the other swtiches. Ping replys some times and some times it gives request timeout as shown in thefollowing picture.But As i copy something from that computers that are on the other switches continuous reply recieves without request timeoutas shown below. Please help me to resolve this issue.Note: There is no error when accessing computers with \\servername\sharename. Problem is withping and reply.

Tripredacus Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 What is the probability that these computers on the network have a mix of 10/100 and gigabit NICs? How about your servers? Are all your switches the same brand or are those mixed up too? If you have a mix of different NIC speed capabilities on your network, I would recommend that your company use switches that support Link Aggregation.

uid0 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 How would link aggregation help?If you have managed switches then you could look at the error rates, otherwise I'd try to isolate which switches / host nics / cables are involved, and try replacing them.

I ran into it personally, that's why I recommend it if there is a lot of data and a mix interface environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
