    There must be a setting in my profile that turns that on or off? All I show under Additional Options is:

    Automatically parse links in text
    Disable smilies in text

    & &

    Notification Type: with the options of "Instant email notification" and four other options in the dropdown.

    There will be skips on the diagram when there are ping request time outs.

    OK. That makes sense. But; why does it do it on my desktop, but another computer on the same network there are no skips? Does that mean my NIC needs to be changed? It generally doesn't affect the speed of my connection that I can tell.

    It depends on the network status. There are several facts causing ping request time-out.
    Did it happen on that desktop? Does it always like this? Only happened when pinging Internet addresses?

    It always happens on this desktop and when pinging Internet addresses. Intranet pings do not have skips in it.

    Understand;it hasn't been a problem as far as losing time because of network issues, it's just my curiosity and trying to understand network traffic issues. Please don't waste your precious time researching this issue. I do appreciate any insight I can get though.

    Maybe it is due to packet loss. You can ping the addresses on network outlet devices to see if there is packet loss.
