[Leaplist] busted networking equipment?

[Jason Boxman]

The topography is 192.168.1.112 -> 192.168.1.1 via a single, consumer 
junk 8 port switch and two ethernet cables.  192.168.1.1 then has a 
second nic that plugins into the DSL modem.  (via mtr)

Host           Loss%   Snt   Last   Avg  Best  Wrst StDev
1. 192.168.1.1  0.8%   239    1.3   0.1   0.1   4.5   0.4
2. fl-67-77-168 1.7%   238   41.5  50.8  39.4 1578. 106.3

The link is almost entirely underutilized, idle.  Should I ever be 
seeing packet loss on such a local hop?

Last time this happened, replacing the Embarq modem fixed it, but I had 
no problem with the internal hop that time.

Thoughts?
