tcpdump is installed, waiting for the problem to recur.

The tech that helped me was a real tech, not a customer service rep. I
took his advice about iptrace and thought that I would be able to
google myself to understanding of the application. As this was a real
tech and not CS, I have no way of contacting him again, especially for
something so trivial as "what app do you recommend".
