Sorry Guy's I forgot to paste this to my last reply. Tim, here is what we are finding with your connection. The problem seems to be your ISP in its Pittsburgh hub. Data is being sent multiple times until the tcp/ip connection is finally dropped. Chuck ------------------------ This morning I waited until Tim logged on (like clockwork...06:26), got his IP, and set up the sniffer to log all activity from that IP. He logged on @06:26, and ran without interruption until 07:06:33. He was reconnected @07:08:57...aprrox 2 mins outage. Looking at the sniffer, we saw no anomalies until 07:06 when we failed to get an acknowledgement response back from him and retransmitted the packet in question. 4 attempts to retransmit were made over a 24 second period. None elicited a response from him. After 4 attempts he was disconnected. I started doing trace routes at that point. The results were consistent: everything looks fine and clean until it gets to Pittsburgh (his location) and is handed off to his local ISP (bluemoon.agis.com). The response times are noticeably slower at that hop even when he is running fine, so I wonder if his ISP has oversold their capacity or something? So...good news is that it doesn't seem to be us. Mike
