I meant that particular machine, which served as client in some of your latter tests. You indicated it =doesn't= see packets it should at times. And I was wondering if the =other= machine you're using (hopefully with similar config) works with an outside public server with a large download. This would test software. I'm an old DECTech from before you were born, and the failure under stress, and time randomness looks to me like hardware... either your DSL router or NIC. -- Carl A.
