      @johnpoz:

      you have
      device1 –- cable --- switch --- cable --- device2

      That is my understanding, yes (I am remote troubleshooting with someone's help)

      @johnpoz:

      Have you changed the ports the devices are connected to on the switch?

      Not yet, but I have asked the guy to attach a different Cisco switch to that switch, and have the server and client attached to the "new" switch - this should rule out the switch.  Waiting to hear back from him.

        yup that would do it as well… Let us know what happens!  Suggest use new cables as well when you connect to new switch.

          So after 1 week of having just the firewall and the server on the new switch, we see no transport related errors.  So it is probably a very weird error inside that switch.  We will be replacing it and see if that fixes the issue.

            Glad to hear you have found something.. So taking no cisco support on the switch so you could open a tac case with cisco?  sg200 pretty cheap.. Prob just throw it out ;)

              No such luck I am afraid.  The "new" switch is a SG200-26.  Would love to understand what went wrong in that switch though.  Almost like a messed up ARP table?
