TCP Out-Of-Order and other errors with Windows Network Bridge

0

Hi together,

after I set up a Windows Network Bridge on Windows 8.1 on a PC with 2 physical network interfaces, I'm experiencing a problem with one direction of the network connection. My setup: - PC 1 with 2 NICs. One NIC connected to Wireless AP, the other to a switch. Network bridge setup between these two NICs (differend models) - PC 2 with 1 NIC connected to a switch. When transferring files from PC 2 to PC 1 everything is fine and fast. The other way is too slow to transfer files. Its hardly enough for a RDP session. Wireshark shows several TCP Out-of-Order and other errors, no matter on what PC I capture. When removing the bridge everything is back to normal.

As I'm not very experienced in network related topics I hope someone will be able to help out :-)

Thanks a lot, have a nice weekend.

Can you provide a capture and upload it at www.cloudshark.org?

I can't find any specific 'slowness' in one direction. Could you please add more information, especially the session you believe to be slower that the other? BTW: there are only two sessions in the capture file!.

Hi Kurt, thanks for helping me out. In this short capture I just started the file transfer wich doesn't work. The direction was 192.168.0.101 --> 192.168.0.25. "Slowness" in this case means, that a file transfer is nearly impossible. Please let me know, if I can get you something that might make this more clear (A special capture?). I'm no network expert unfortunately ;-)

Today I found out, that it must be somehow OS related. When I activate the bridge, name resolution doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have an idea whats wrong here? I use Windows 8.1. Thanks again :-)
