That might quickly tell you what's happening. Only that: 1. Don't know where to get tcpdump for my local machine (it's a cygwin host) 2. Wouldn't know how to use it if I could find it 3. Wouldn't know how to interpret the results Still, this seems like a plausible avenue to pursue. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- David Abrahams * Boost Consulting dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com
