Odd TCP/IP transmission  
Find attached a wireshark capture session.  Seems like QNX (6.3.2) is doing something odd, the same ACK is send 5 times.
 Packet 9 being the first one.

Is this normal?

It's normal if we lost a packet.  Looks like the other end sent
a bunch of data at sequence 4294961152 and kept going but we lost
the one at 4294961152 so we continue to ack the last byte we got
which eventually causes the other end to back up and resend.

Is it running on vmware (vmnet bridging through one nic)? I had noticed
similar traffic I suspected the vmware driver. 

Thanks

I wish it was but no it`s a real machine and the network driver ( e1000 ) is setup to run at priority 100, which is the 
highest priority of all threads/processes aside qconn.

This driver e1000, actually intel Pro 1000 PCIe has been giving us grief for a long time.  What worries me is that in 
the sample I send the packet going to 10.121.207.4 are the first packets going to it in, how can it loose a packets (out
 of 4)after the communication has been idle for close to 400ms.  In the 10 seconds prior to the "incident" there was 
only 90 packets logged.  

The log I sent were taken out of a bigger file.  I have 10 seconds of data before that, in which I  can`t see any 
communication between .101 and .4 so I can`t see sequence 4294961152.

That begin said, this problem happened after a system provide by a third party was send changed from a XP box to a Vista
 box.
