ping -f -s 1024 ??

[luke]

any idea why my two os x.2.8 machines (450MHz g3 and 867MHz TiBook) 
lose so many packets?

what i would like to know is this:

i can do a "sudo ping -f -s 1024 192.168.0.1"  -  from my 192.168.0.2 
machine through my D-Link DI-614+ router and get between 30% and 40% 
packet loss after 10,000 packets...

but when i do a "sudo -f -s 1024 192.168.0.100"  -  from my 192.168.0.2 
machine i get ZERO packet loss?

so the D-Link router seems to be able to respond to ALL of the 
packets... but the G3 doing nothing else but responding to pings can't 
handle this?

what is going on?

why can a $60 router handle this but not the 100BT G3 ??

thanks
