<font face="Comic Sans MS">You might be aware of my problem with my
dsl service. Earthlink appears to be unable to figure out what's
going on. Some networks I have trouble with. When a problem
shows itself, the entire connection stalls. This affects anything
coming in, even if it's from a site I normally don't have trouble
with.<br>
<br>
Tonight I went to speakeasy.net/speedtest and started tcpdump,
saving it's output to a text file. Then I clicked on Seattle
which is certain to make the problem show itself. Here <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://home.earthlink.net/%7Eazspamhater/tcpdump.zip">http://home.earthlink.net/~azspamhater/tcpdump.zip</a>
is the output of tcpdump from when I started it to when I stopped
it right after the speed test told me the download test was
complete.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Here's
the bit from tcpdump's output when the connection stalled. Can
someone who understands this stuff please tell me what it
means? Thanks.</font><br>
