The part of the networking code people are usually talking about is the TCP/IP stack. From what I've read of your comments that's no the part you are messing with. Rather you're messing with driver settings and bridging. Bridging has a MUCH smaller audience then TCP/IP so obviously it's less tested. Add the fact that you're using it with Linux emulation and an application that get very intimate with the OS internals stability problems aren't exactly suprising. -- Brooks P.S. IMNSHO running 4.2-RELEASE instead of 4-STABLE for stability is a very odd idea. It's quite likely a bug that effects you there has been fixed in a later version. Of course you run the risk of finding new bugs, but that's always the case. --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
