(192.168.6.1) at 00:22:3f:db:f3:90 [ether] on eth0 This lets you examine what MAC addresses the local host thinks other hosts have.

My first idea is that more that one machine on your network is using the IP address 192.168.6.32, or that or your local host. This will cause trouble. The exact behaviour varies with the OS, but it will include aborted TCP connections (as the wrong host gets a packet and rejects it as not being for a current connection). | > Ssh keeps a ~/.ssh/known_hosts file that logs host keys and IP addresses | > and host names in order to detect when things change (i.e. to check if | > an imposter has arrived). | | I deleted the known_hosts file to get rid of the entries with obsolete | ip addresses.

I would now start using the "ethtool" command to examine the ethernet interfaces on your local host and on the remote one. If, for example, one end is half duplex instead of full duplex you will see horrible performance problems much like what you describe. Do I recall you're using a gigabit switch? Are you using cat6 cables throughout?
