Ok, So I did that, in the windows capture file are many many lines of Red text on a black background, I assume thats a bad thing. It's every second or third line vs just a handful on the linux capture.
Most of these lines are like: postgresql [ACK] Seq=5429 Ack=##### Win=65700 Len=0 Where the ACK number is always different. As I said before I really don't know what I am looking at.
