Re: (Sid) Net broken - Sending streams stall
Me again, same problem quoted below. Doesn't anyone have any ideas about this?
Any logs I could look at, configs I could tweak or variables I could alter?
I'm really perplexed by this one, and I'd hate to fix it using the Windows
method (ie reinstalling). I'm desperate for some ideas! Is this really that
weird a problem?
Thanks,
Brendon
