This happens with both Linux and Windows, so it cannot be system software if two operating systems are involved.
When I pinged both the router and modem during these episodes, both respond to pings without any packet loss from either. I will try a new NIC as the spare I have, is not compatible with Vista which caused a total system crash and to fix that, a system restore. After this, I did not bother trying it with 64- bit Ubuntu, although it works with the 32- bit release. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
