I would like to note that these two machines the windows client is
connecting to are sitting on the exact same switch connected to the same

There is a possibility that we are hitting an upper level bandwidth
limit between us an our upstream provider due to a misconfiguration on

not right now). It just bugs me that 2.2.16 doesn't appear to have this
problem.
