Well have you tried closing all apps and rebooting Windows? <g>

- More seriously, you haven't told us what OS (shall we presume 
DragonFlyBSD?)
or - critically important - which (date/time) DragonFly build, how installed
 (ISO, make build, and from what point..) how/which daemons (pkgsrc, 
ports...)
and other very relevant details...
(Apache rev & mod_kitchen-sink, TCP/IP stack, NIC in use, etc...)

'the vanilla base' is a bit vague...

I have had some 'suspicious behaviour' from IP myself,
was thinking it was a hardware issue...but perhaps not....
