Interesting. What I see is on the XP box, the connectoid which shows
the packet counters shows lots of receive errors. If I (for example)
make an ftp connection to a machine on the protected network, it is
OK but if I do a dir then it hangs and takes maybe 30 seconds to list
a dozen files.

I'm not alone, other people on the mpd-users mailing list have the
same problems. My gut-feel tells me it is something to do with 
fragmentation but I don't know how to make XP tell me what the errors
are.
