You have some sort of hardware problem, presumably.
I was thinking there might be something else at work too, perhaps a configuration issue instead of (or inaddition to) a hardware problem? I regularly transfer ~9GB files across my [100mbit] network from a Sarge server to any number of Linux workstations as well as a Windows MCE set top box. Everything is stored on Samba shares using CIFS. I've never gotten any errors and my transfer times are usually very reasonable. -- - Josh www.omg-stfu.com This message has been brought to you by the American Kneejerk Coalition for Equality, Compassion, and the Restoration of Karmic Unity of Self And Other Silly Hippy Happy-Swell Gayness Bullshit, or AKCECRKUSAOSHHSGB for short. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
