Eric,

Presumably those messages are from a boot up?  Do you get the same ping
failures pinging something attached to the same switch?

What does cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn return?  If it's not zero, set
it to zero echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn.

I have no trouble pinging you at 157.159.15.226, 227, 228, 232, and 234.
Zero packet loss.  The others do not respond at all.

Do you get the same results using ping instead of fping?
