Ethereal can show you all this. as well as the difference between the packet sizes of the Windows box and the SuSE box. Maybe a router isn't happy with your packet size and is dropping them, but your packets (traceroute packets anyway) are leaving your network based on traceroute. After that, who knows. It's either it's router has route table issues or it doesn't like the packets from your SuSE box. If it's a route table issue, then more than just yor SuSE box should have problems if they all follow the same route, and more people than you would be having problems also. If it isn't a route issue, then it's back to your SuSE box and how it's networking is setup or something on your local network (i.e. firewall, traffic shapper, etc.) that is affecting the traffic from the SuSE box.

Ok, from ethereal it looks as if my packets go out (like previously determined) and are not making it back in right. On Windows in VMWare ethereal shows the GET requests and then the incoming information. On Linux it shows "Continuation or Non-HTTP Traffic" with the source being the web page www.sonicwall.com and the destination being my LAN IP. So I guess that there is some sort of an error reading incoming packets, or they are being malformed somewhere on the way in. Does this seem like a good conclusion from the information provided? If so, how do I determine what and where things are going wrong? James W
