Hi,

Are you using HP Hardware if yes then please update your interface card driver from HP website.

Sometimes the drivers are not compatible with the hardware.

Thanks Regards,
Satish

Hi all members,

I wonder if you could explain me why this happens: I ping from one computer to another one in my network. My ping data size is 2000 bytes but I see that the frames containing the ping request and reply have only 562 bytes, why not 2000??. Why is that?

This is what I can see:
