Ah, right, you did say 240 was a windows box.

I don't know that your browser read any data at all.
It starts off with a 64K window - and if you notice
in the log, it just ramps down till it goes to zero.
Doesn't look like any data got pushed to the application.
205 (dom0) sure pushed a bunch of data out, so not sure
that the problem is between dom0 <-> dom1. At least,
no evidence yet of that.

If it's not too much trouble, could you also grab
a trace of a successful transfer?

Might help to collect stats off dom1, though.

See above - your trace is showing the exchange between dom0 and
the browser box, correct? It has a problem on the receiver end
(windows browser not reading) - double check that..

Could be ethereal that's missing the packets, not
necessarily the interfaces that dropped them, stats would tell..
