HP-UX Unix to WinNT

[Bruce]

This sounds like an ethernet issue.
do ifconfig eth0/1 whatever and look for errors there. If there are any errors
at all then you have an issue. Even 1-2 errors implies collisions have occurred
and this is a loading issue.

Also take out socket options = SO_SNDBUF=17520
