Hi,
   We have tried on both drivers (vlance and vmxnet). Unfortunately,
the outcome is still the same (packet drops). I think the only
cowardly alternative left is to perhaps increase the libpcap buffer 
size, it worked for Dustin, might work for us. This would ofcourse 
not resolve the really issue (if any).

thanks,
best regards,
Vikram
