it might be another app on your laptop -- typically a background app loaded when windoze starts -- that is causing the problem, interrupting the DS long enough to cause it to drop packets.

I checked this out and it turned out that Norton was running a computer diagnostic yesterday at the time of our testing. IDK if that was the culprit, but today I ran the program on the simulator and it seemed to work fine. Hopefully that was the solution...
