10+ms ping time across network

[Joel Hanger]

hehe, this is fun :P
I thought I'd try something.. so I did ping 192.168.1.1 -fq
and then stopped it after a few seconds...
I then tried pinging it normaly and my ping time dropped from 
9+ to .1-.2ms :)  I then tried normal ping on my other computers
but they were still in the 9+ms range.. so I did the ping -fq on
one of them and they all started responding with .5-.6ms but this 
as I just now checked is only temporary... it goes back up to 9ms 
after a minute or so.. hrmm.. back to the drawing board :P

Oh, btw, I also pinged the box itself, the first result was .7ms then each
one was 9+ms ping time.. this is truly strange as that should never be over
1ms I would think.

hey all,
	I got a question. (What else is new ;)
I was just doing some monitoring and noticed that my network
performance seems descent but not what it was.. I seem to remember
getting less than 2ms, often it was less than 1ms, but lately, it's
been in the 10ms range, hopping around from 9-12ms.  I'm running RH
6.1 on a P166, 64MB ram, 10BT, across a 3com 10BT hub. It's running
as the gateway, firewall, SMB PDC, web/ftp/ssh server.  I checked to
see if there were any processes that decided to go haywire and all
looks good.. except one peculiarity.. when I installed and ran apache
I was able to configure how many instances of the server I wanted..
I reduced that to 2, but I notice that I have multiple... 10+ instances
of in.inetd.. is there a way to reduce that and could that be the reason
it has slowed?  Thanks in advance

Joel
