Hi Brian,
So, you didn't snoop the wire? My calculus teacher used to say,
"What do
we do now? Punt?" Open Wireshark. snoop. investigate.
No. I'm not going to be able to diagnose anything from binary traffic
on the wire. If it is Windows protocol problem, I would have to spend a
fair amount of time learning what the correct protocol is before I
could even hope to recognize a defect, and if it is a coding problem, I
would have to spend a fair amount of time learning the binary encoding
before I could even hope to recognize a defect.
Wireshark makes it a whole lot easier than you make it out to be. It
decodes the traffic. Especially with the fact that it works with an IP
address, yet it didn't work with a dns entry leads me to believe that
wireshark could provide valuable info. I would say at least look at it.
