Is the mtu the same on MSWindows and Linux host and router? MSWindows can corrupt its TCP/IP stack, or if you try to modify its paramet= ers=20 too much (size of receive/send window et al) things could go wrong. There = is=20 some Microsoft fix file for this (I recall one available for WinXP at least= )=20 which resets the stack to its default values. On the odd occasion I had to stop/start an MSWindows connection which would= =20 not come up on boot up, but this hasn't happened for quite some time now. = It=20 might have been dodgy firmware on my router; I don' know and never found ou= t=20 what was the cause of it, because it only happened a few times. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart50947835.mTRup4I6Ns Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJR+kGNAAoJELAdA+zwE4Yeeg0IAJt1zFSeYUwTdtY3zbnLyUCT fGx4JjHK8sEU8tLtJ5FWxXXRsPsgRkMEt7tV5e4rDYrgH9aqlPZksvdsrMRzA+Oq NJ3bvC0oILulKgJ1JI1WVfWvC6RnF1W0DLsENBZ/i3a/tQ3RSek+mHzJVhs02Pu/ CeZwnNLSqWvXhPlYu8MZH0gpeX1XldTUSbwnBqzlBwKRbtdFaKY4/H0h2yArZNcR UCqPRjvEVuoqemTpM9NIAMyBqhHrc25eETr2rr6++olCtgsYOdJ4dENPNbjKYEJM +PqFO5nBgL5Aem844VPAOl+brF8PbD+FdRr/Q4tCLdAduSFSZKO6s2T6KmooT5M= =ungy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart50947835.mTRup4I6Ns--
