Server dropping half of all connections [closed]
My server is running Arch Linux v4.20.1, for some reason it is dropping half of all the connections that go to it even if the firewall is disabled. This happens for all programs including Apache and OpenSSH and is making it really difficult to use my server. Does anyone know how to solve this? Also this issue persists through reboots of both my server and router and my server is connected to my router via ethernet. Also my server is not running any VMs and it is dhcp reserved.
Edit: by half the traffic I mean that half of the time it times out and the other half of the time it works.
Edit #2: I have changed my server's local ip address and it has not fixed it, also this issue has persisted even when I changed Linux distros on my server
Edit #3: its on the same LAN

Routing problems or more probably duplicate IP address, duplicate MAC if a VM are the most common problems, However the question is very broad, you are asking people to guess things. Please try to narrow down the scope of the question and describe more the setup.

Are the connections being reset or do they just time out?

they time out also it is not a duplicate ip address because my server is dhcp reserved and it does not use VMs

That didn't prove it's not a duplicate ip address. It just confirms what you think it should be. Do you have any evidence (traffic traces, for example)?

When you say "half the traffic", what do you actually mean? Alternate connections work? No connection works but each and every one loses some packets? How do you know it's "half" (rather than "some" or "most")? Network-wise, how far away is your client (same LAN, routed LAN, across a WAN...)?
