I also can't write 20 instead of 22 and get anything in a pcap that makes sense.  I am using a NG Sniffer instead of Ethereal to look at the traces (the decodes are much better) and I am still having a hard time figuring out where my issues are coming from.

The pcap from the working Win98 machine only has 20 bytes of information but when I send mine, it has 22.  This number will change though depending on the length of the users ID.  The Win98 pcap is somehow not taking into account the extra two bytes (the word with 532 or 814 in it, depending on which pcap you look at).

You would have to look at the traces I sent.  If you compare the two, it is easy to see.  I just don't know how to make it right.
