yes I know, but I'm not sure if your problem is the same, but we can
easily find this out:

try from the XP Box:

ping -l 1500 www.yahoo.de

If you get no reply then try decreasing the ICMP packet size (-l switch),
until you get a reply.

vi /etc/syslog.conf
!mpd
*.*                                             /var/log/mpd.log
killall -1 syslogd

ok, but remember that this works ONLY for TCP packets.

BTW: MPD 3.15 will have this patch integrated.
