Following is a sample of the RX/TX packet lines that showed up: RX Pockets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX pockets:1161 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 So dropped packets don't seem to be the problem. However, i noticed in your /sbin/ifconfig you showed a Bcast address of 255.255.255.255, my Bcast address is shown as 192.168.1.255. Is this a factor in this problem??????? FWIW - I beleive that my smtp problem is connected to this https one as they appeared at the same time. David (an ageing newbie trying to learn/understand the working of Linux)
