I can imagine that your network is simply heavily loaded. But, for example intranet or internet connections might have a lower priority than the ports Oracle uses. How about the priority of a ping? I wonder if a ping is really a good way to tell if your connection is slow. It surely tells you whether or not your network is heavily loaded, but maybe the network is simply dimensioned exactly for you current needs... Arjan.
