Swapped switch for 50' cable, no dice. Still dropping packets, still can't ping Speedtest.net.
Installed a new Intel Gigabit CT net' card, both cables (old thru switch, new 50'). Still dropping packets, still can't ping Speedtest.net.
Dropped a lappy (W7) next to the rig, used both cables - no packets dropped, 104ms ping to Speedtest.net, speeds are fine.
What the frak? Re-install Ubuntu?
