The device is now updating the firmware......and there are no packets lost on pings to the device or pings from the device.

Unless you have a managed switch, don't force negotiation, as it'll just cause the switch to run in 10base/half-duplex (lowest common denominator) when there is no negotiation advertised. It's sitting in 100/full already, which is what you want.

If you do ifconfig eth0, do you see any errors? Collisions and CRC errors will stack if there is a negotiation problem. Seems like either the switch or phy port on the mybook is wack, but doesn't make a lot of sense you'd lose that much anyways. Try different switch port/cable if there are errors.

Have you tried pinging from the mbl itself to the gateway or other hosts? Could be they have some kind of input iptables filter rate-limiting/shaping packets or some such, but unlikely.

I was able to ssh into the MBL and it has ethtool installed -

So, it should work on 100baeT. Any thoughts on why I am loosing so many
packets?

What does ethtool tell you about what the interface

I have a 100baseT network with several Debian
servers, a mac book, and some virtual windows. I
just picked up a Western Digital My Book Live (MBL)
2TB NAS at Costco, and powered it up on my network.
The unit is just sitting with its green light on,
and the web interface is really slow. When I ping
the device, it shows somewhere from 50% to 86%
packet loss. If I ping any other computer on the
network I have 0% packet loss. I have tried moving
the device to different physical plugs, and I get
the same results.

ping results for the MBL from server A:
--- 192.168.25.213 ping statistics ---
330 packets transmitted, 152 received, 53% packet
loss, time 329555ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.208/0.273/0.650/0.048 ms

--- 192.168.25.213 ping statistics from server B ---
254 packets transmitted, 120 received, 52% packet
loss, time 252998ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.196/0.264/2.499/0.206 ms

ping results for server A to B:
--- 192.168.25.130 ping statistics ---
340 packets transmitted, 340 received, 0% packet
loss, time 338996ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.080/0.177/0.246/0.030 ms

The device says gigabit Ethernet next to the
Ethernet port. Is there any reason I can't connect a
gigabit Ethernet device to a 100baseT network other
than the obvious speed difference? Should I see all
this packet loss? This is actually the second unit I
have tried - the first one acted the same way, so I
took it back. I am now wondering if I am doing
something wrong.

Thanks!

Mark
