Hi,
Just to save any confusion the correct command is
ping www.stargate.net -f -l xxxx not ping www.stargate.net -l -f xxxx as stated on the website, looks like a typo.

>>>I just moved a client's small application from windows 98 with an NT Server 2k to a peer to peer where the server is an XP Pro box. There are only 4 computers in this operation. One was not upgraded, it is still running Windows '98 and apparently working fine. The other three are all 2.8 celeron with 512 ram, 75 meg hard drive Dells. The application was written in the last century in Foxpro Windows 2.6. and has been running for years. The network performance is a pig though on XP. I know I've seen some threads here about this, but haven't been able to find anything. Anyone?
