Okay, after reading everything you've done in this thread, there's not much
more you can do.

However, one thing comes to mind. If this is on a VOIP system, this could
be it. This one caused me undue grief for a number of hours troubleshooting
until I got to the bottom of it. It was the SIP "ALG" service in my router.
I had to disable it. I found out after I had already tried another router,
like you. Before I disabled it, I could do a continuous ping and get back
something like...

ping...
no response
<delay of 5 seconds or so>
one response
no response
no response
no response
no response
response!
<delay of 3 seconds>
no response
response!
response!
response!
no response
no response
no response
<delay of 10 seconds>
response!
no response
etcetera...

....was driving me crazy...

Turned out what I had to do was to disable ALG support in the router
(Netgear in my case).

Anyway, other than that, I'm out of ideas, considering what you have already
changed.

no voip system here. However I am changing every network card in the
systems and seeing if that works. Right now all machines have a static
ip and are connected to a switch with no router and seeing if any thing
drops. every machine is also being tested one at a time connected to the
switch and NAS with a large data file being transferred to see if it
causes any problems.

Ok it turned out 3 network cards were bad, one router had massive packet
loss, and one network cable needed to be replaced. After all that was
fixed systems ran great until...

the receptionists computer decided to die and it sent a surge through
the network killing off everything that was fixed.

Replaced everything again switch survived and they are now up.
