Hi All,

    I'm running into a situation where netstat on a Windows XP PC and wireshark 
are not consistent.   

    We've been running FTP tests between a Windows XP client workstation and 
various FTP Servers.   When we look at netstat on the client PC, it looks like 
there are lots of retransmissions.   For a 1.5Meg file, I get 1,000 
retransmissions, and only about 150 additional packets.   I use Wireshark on 
another PC, connected to a hub that also has the workstation attached.   
Wireshark appears to capture all the packets,  but sees no retransmissions.   
I've used the Analyze capability to look for  retransmissions, fast 
retransmits, and Dup Ack's, but I get none.  I've looked at the sequence #'s on 
the packets and the acks in the trace, and they all seem to be correct, and 
none are retransmitted or duplicated.   I can use this same Wireshark PC on 
other network segments, and retransmissions do show up, so I'm pretty certain 
my Wireshark is operating correctly.

    Has anyone else run into such a situation.   where netstat -s reports lots 
of retransmissions and Wireshark doesn't see them?
