[Opensim-users] Weird viewer crash

[Jeff Kelley]

I have a really weird issue. All of a sudden, Firestorm crashes when 
tp'ing home from the hypergrid. As a variant, I can reach my home but 
most prims are missing, unless I teleport to another local region 
then back home, then the prims are here again.

I am speaking about a setup that was working fine for years. It 
happened just following major changes to the router NAT rules. I 
managed to revert back to the situation "it was working before", but 
the issue persisted. I noted an excessive slowness in the router 
administration console and suspected a network problem. Firing 
Wireshark and bam! Tons of Spurious Retransmission, Dup ACK, RST in 
the loopback route between my viewer ('amiral') and my external IP 
('ns.pescadoo.net'), both ways.

Topology is box <-> router <-> switch <-> (client, server). Checked 
cables, rebooted switch and router, even upgraded the router (NETGEAR 
FSV338) firmware.

Can bad network crash a viewer this way?

Is my router fried?
