HOW long a period?  Wouldn't be somewhere just short of fifty days would
it?  It may be that you're hitting the infamous bug in M$'s TCP/IP stack,
where a 32-bit counter wraps and throws the whole thing out of kilter.
Although I thought that this inane bug had been corrected in more recent
releases of Windoze.
