Hello Jim, here is my first cut of tracefile:

http://www.cloudshark.org/captures/4b8cf621d044

It contains conversation from when I start application, and on row 717 there is first spanning tree .
I hope in your supporta

Thanks
Andrew

More than one second to receive another packet from the server (192.168.1.2) , I think this cannot be normal behaviour.

It would be easier for us to possibly analyze what's going on if you'd post an actual capture file somewhere (perhaps www.cloudshark.org) instead of a partial text listing. Try to capture the start of the conversation so that the TCP three-way handshake is present in the trace file. If necessary, remove any confidential information from the trace file. Include the full STP frames.
