Hi Andrew,

I ran my application for a few minutes during which time the application 
detected 20 missing packets based on the sequence number.  Then I 
stopped the debugger and looked at the cyg_udpstat and cyg_ipstat 
structures.

For cyg_udpstat, the only non-zero counts were:
ipackets 60278
noportbcast 22
opackets 1404

For cyg_ipstat the non-zero counts were:
total 60278
noproto 4
delivered 60278
localout 3868
tooshort 1

The packets I am receiving (some of which are lost) are usually 1200 
bytes long although a few are smaller.  The packets I am sending are 512 
bytes long.

So I'm still at a loss as to where or why the packets are being 
dropped.  Any other suggestions?

Best regards,

Paul Randall
