Things that comes to my mind:
- I had a mobo w/ a funny onboard ethernet I/F: after "some" networking, it
needed a linux driver reload (or w$ reboot) - never knew why,
- a MiM missed attack could also give this result (cli should watch arp),
- Even though I'm downtown the renewal of my adsl box lease takes almost 4
minutes to "stabilize".
Thanks for the ideas! Unfortunately in my case the network is working fine, including on the affected devices. Even though stunnel connections to hosts hang, pings to those same hosts work fine.
If the device was being targeted be a MITM attack I would be thrilled. Unfortunately this customer is not a very high profile company, so I think it is probably something less exciting. :/
