I have tried changing the kernel buffer size down to 10MB and then 1MB. But this did not change the frequency of the timeout responses.
I then set the kernel buffer to 1000 and this did result in the timeouts occuring once every second. But the timeouts were still occuring and no proper packets were being received. There is one other point I failed to mention earlier... The PC I am using has 2 Network adapters. One is plugged into the normal office network and the other is plugged into a non-switching hub along with a second PC that I am using to generate the network traffic. It is the network card plugged into the hub that I have been using for these tests.
