It looks like packets are being dropped. Does this happen between ALL of you machines or just one or two? I'd suggest the following simple test: o Run PUP trace at both hosts and see if all of the packets are being received at the destination.(SET NTIMES TO 20 in the PUP.ECHOUSER call so that an entire trace can be seen at both machines). If you have a 3rd party ether trace system, then you could watch the entire dialogue and see what is going on. Bill
