Hi David, > (I'm definitely not an expert in networking) /me too. > it looks like I'm having some packets dropped - > but again I have no idea why (or where)? You have some `Len=1220', and the others are multiples. This suggests your network card is merging packets together before they're passed up to Wireshark. That may hinder the ability to deduce what's happening `on the wire', I don't know. http://rtodto.net/generic_segmentation_offload_and_wireshark/ P.S. That's gritty font rendering. :-) I've gone back to xorg-fonts-misc package's fonts recently, and I'm really liking the lack of anti-aliasing sharpness. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
