Well this was new....after taking the laptop and putting it on a remote 
network, it ran like a champ as expected...connection, no 
retransmissions, no issues at all...packets flowed and I could ping what 
I needed.  So....what changed?  The OS on the phone I was using for 
tethering. Let the records show that not all tethering is equal I guess. 
Thanks again.
