windows losing packets?

0

We are experiencing a strange behaviour in some TCP connection. During a tcp connection we are sending data from compiter A to computer B. (wireshark is capturing packet on computer B) wiresharking the connection we can see the data from A to B , the SEQ number are ok and the ACKs are coming from B to A... after a while we can see the the computer B doesn't acknoledge the data any more, even if the data are captured by wireshark. (we are just downloading a JPG using a browser from "A" http server, it happen with different browser).. Example

A send packet 100 B ACK it
A send packet 101 B ACK 100 again (I can see packet 101 in wireshark capture)
A send packet 102 B ACK 100 again or do nothing (I can see packet 102 as well)
after a while A resend packet 101 then B ack 101 and 102....

that can happen several times... with several packets... and of course often the connection is terminated..

seems to be something wrong on hardware calculated checksum....

Posting a link to a public capture showing the symptoms (if you can share the capture) would be a great help.

Cloudshark, Google Drive and Dropbox are all useful options.
