Hi Bill,

Yes, I saw that one, already three months ago in my wireshark  
captures, and asked the DFS server admin if there is a timeout for  
client access can it be set to a lower value and he said to me there  
is no such thing.

That particular dll wshenu.dll - Windows Scripting Host English - does  
not even exist on the client PC and it does not exist on the DFS  
servers either.  However Windows Exploder, IE and any script created  
with Windows Scripting is looking for it.

Rephrasing my question, how can I use the capture file to show the DFS  
admin that there is a problem here.  I sent him similar captures 3  
months ago.

Thanks ahead,

János
