Hi Skuba,

 

 

It's quite odd that pings from a directly connected laptop would fail intermittently to a self IP address. Do you have the laptop configured on the same subnet as the self IP you're pinging? If you run an unfiltered tcpdump on your client do you see anything when the ICMP fails? Maybe ARP requests failing?
