Hi All,

I have a client who has what we believe to be a flaky network. They call
it
a VPN, but it is not a true VPN. You don't need to log onto the network to
get access. it is open for all to see. We have done some testing with a
Linux
box between the client and the server, with the Linux box dropping the
first
5 packets of data every second. This produced exactly the same symptoms we
are seeing at the clients site. The network people insist there is nothing
wrong, so I won't get any help from them.

Are there any freeware programs that can sit on the remote client and test
for packet loss ? or does Indy have a ping component that I may be able to
use to write a program to do this ? Any help or ideas would be great.

Cheers,
Paul

If you are using Windows XP try pathping from command prompt.
