So here's what I've done so far to fix the issue... I created a fresh VM install on Ubuntu with the latest SEQ, maps , filters, etc. I then created a snapshot of the image before ever launching it.

Now when I experience the issue I close out the EQ on the Win 11 VM that I'm capturing from. I flush the Bridge 100 and read add all the vnnics to the bridge. I completely close SEQ on the SEQ box and revert to the snapshot. I launch it back up and point it to the correct IP of whichever Win 11 EQ VM I want to capture then launch EQ from scratch. This seems to always fix the issue but it's kinda a pain that it still occurs. I've not noticed any decode warnings or anything in the terminal.

Here's the complete step by step I made to build the Ubuntu SEQ VM box and the steps I take on the MacOS terminal side from the Bridge 100 perspective...Download the showeq-####.tar.bz2 file
