I have an interface (output of sh int below)192.168.100.2,but couldn't get to gateway 192.168.100.1. I notice the queue having size far above 75. But when i restart the router,everything will be fine. Whats the cause of the large size. 2.whats the inplication. 3. how can i flush the packet through the queue.

Since your input queue notes its max size as 75 packets, it's interesting how there are 100 packets in that queue. Perhaps some kind of stats display bug or other bug? What's the device and how current is the IOS?
[edit]
You might also be seeing a "wedged" interface.

When an interface is wedged, the router no longer forwards traffic that comes from the affected interface. Which sounds like your problem.
Use the 'show buffers old' and 'show buffers input-interface Vlan1' commands to locate the source of the buffer leak.

this is my ios ver......Cisco IOS Software, 3800 Software (C3845-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(3g), R
ELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2).
Please explain what yuo mean by wegde interface,the cause and implication.
Since ints a vlan applied to a physical interface,I am thinking of making some changes.Is it the vlan interface that is affected or the physical.

"Wedged Interface Buffer Leaks
Wedged interface buffer leaks cause the input queue of an interface to fill up to the point where it can no longer accept packets. Under some specific traffic conditions, the input queue on an interface becomes wedged or, in other words, the input queue count is larger than the queue depth.
Here is an example of output from the show interfaces command, which shows that the interface is wedged:
Ethernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up
Output queue 0/40, 0 drops; input queue 76/75, 1250 drops The symptom of such buffer leak is a full input queue (76/75). Here, the values 76 and 75 represent the number of packets in the input queue, and the maximum size of the input queue, respectively. In this case, the number of packets in the input queue is larger than the queue depth. This is called a "wedged interface". When an interface is wedged, the router no longer forwards traffic that comes from the affected interface.
Reload the router to free the input queue and restore traffic until the queue is full again. This can take anywhere between a few seconds and a few weeks, based on the severity of the leak.

Tips to Troubleshoot
Buffer leaks are Cisco IOS software bugs. In order to fix known buffer leak bugs, upgrade to the latest version in your release train. For example, if you currently run Cisco IOS Software Release 11.2(14), upgrade to the latest 11.2(x) image. If this does not help, or if it is not possible to upgrade the router, contact the Cisco TAC, and provide the engineer with the output of the relevant show buffers commands, and the output of the show tech-support command.
"
If you have a support contract, try upgrading to a newer IOS in the 12.4 software train.
