Craig,

Could you please send a Wireshark capture of the start attempt? Send it to
me directly if it's more then 100k.

This looks very much like a networking issue. Have you changed your network
setup since it was working? May be connected it through a different switch?
We found that some models of switches does not work well and introduce
weird issues.

Is your network card 100Mbit or 1Gbit?

If it's an UmTRX issue indeed, we'll replace it. Our beta testers is our
most precious asset.

Please excuse typos. Written with a touchscreen keyboard.
