I've been using wireshark as you suggested, and it seems that the same packet is being repeated endlessly. It is described as "TCP segment of a reassembled PDU". So I wonder if it is just a problem with the protocol used by the WVC54GCA camera to send pictures over the internet? Or perhaps more likely it has something to do with the MTU? The packet that is repeated endlessly has length 1462. > Oh, one more thing.... Have you tried using the IP address instead of the > hostname? I did try that - it didn't make any difference. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
