[SATLUG] Ping with 75%+ packet loss!

[Tony Beauregard]

The problem may be something like not having identd running (you don't
need to have this running).

Basically, set a firewall rule to reject (specifically) port 113.  The
reject on port 113 should allow for a immediate connection and you will
stop losing those packets.  

Hopefully this helps.  (Thank Sparky for this one if it does.)
