Seems like a lot of packets are dropped. Next, I will try to reboot<br>
the laptop. Maybe it will help.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Dropped packets are a great way to cause the exact symptoms you described.<br><br>Next you should try a cross Ethernet cable between the two computers;<br><br>My bet is one of those:<br>* bad Ethernet cable between one of the computers and the router/switch (you can verify by pinging the router from each one of the computers) <br>
* bad switch / home router (common ones where I personally encountered this: Edimax & TP-Link of any model...)<br><br>HTH,<br><br>-- Shimi<br></div></div><br></div>
