Thanks Vivek
This hub was placed between the cable modem and the WAN for data capture
purposes only, prior was just a direct patch cable connection, no apparent need
for a switch/hub intermediary as the Motorola seems to accept direct and
crossover cables, at least I have not tried a cross over cable....seemed no
need, as (I assumed) either it will work completely or not at all...at that
level...but any assumption is dangerous I guess... I also expected a direct
link took away one potential source of problems.
Since my last post it has now misbehaved, with the hub in place, I have caught
it all into a 1G (!) file, however I need to figure out how to split it up to
inspect now.... At least it won't all load up into wireshark, even with 4G of
RAM.... It crashes when the RAM is consumed - at about halfway through the
file! When I have some more time I'll see if it will load up without the ARP
data.
I am hoping the times coincide well enough, I know the stop and reboot times....
Interestingly it commonly occurs when a remote terminal session is running, but
not always.
Kind regards
David Hingston

Well, perhaps your switch and your NIC don't agree with each other? I've had
that problem before...
