Mm... not obviouss this is the case. I have a ping to the router
simultaneously with the unison attempt, and while unison is waiting to
copy files, ping keeps responding, no packet loss.
It might be something with the router. Now, I guess ping and unison
use different ports. Would it make sense? (I undertand unison uses
rsync, or a version of it, to synchronize files, and rsync works, so
I'd think that copying files with unison should work too, if it were a
port problem...)
