I used router as a host and it definatly showed me the
result i said before, However i did not test with a pc
client, I don't see any difference in the pc behaviour
but i will test, Unless microsoft implements tcp/ip in
a different way ;-), I will definatly try a host pc
doing the same thing to confirm, thanks for the
update.
