Very unusual network problem
Hello
I have 1 desktop and 1 laptop computer networked using XP PRO SP2 up to date.
They are both connected to an AP that also does DSL modem and network switch (great stuff btw)
The funny thing is that on the "big" computer the network goes down during "big" transfers, for example if I try to move a 50 megs file from the desktop to the laptop (or the other way around) the network crashes randomly during the transfer, sometimes immediatly (10-15 seconds), sometimes it stays up und running until 2-3 minutes but it always crashes.
I have tried direct cross cable between desktop and laptop, or through the switch and it still crashes the same, if I try to do "small" networking like just checking the mail every 5 minutes on the big computer it works for hours, so it's ONLY on BIG transfers that the crashes occurs.
I have removed firewall, antivirus, ran all possible checks including online scans, checked for spyware using spybot, spysweeper and ad aware and of course there is NOTHING (I would have been glad to find something but I didn't).
Where the problem really gets funny is that my motherboard also has a firewire port so I tried networking through the firewire, disabling the "normal" network card and the problem is the same, so it is NOT the network drivers or settings, QoS is LONG gone from my systems and i don't know what to do.
I have tried using a program to completely delete the TCP/IP settings and resetting the LSP's but the problem is still the same.
Thanks for the help, but please refrain from the usual virus-spyware and so on, you would be wasting your time (and mine but it's not that bad, ha ha ha)
