This is impossible to tell sadly, I get the failures at random times - usually
when I am away from the box - so I cant tell att the actual time what the
status is.

I have tried setting net.inet.ip.portrange.randomized and will see what
happens over the next 24 hours. Usually I get a few errors duuring the day
and collect quite a number overnight when Iam away from the machine.

Will let you know, thanks....
