Re: Problem with network transfers in Windows 2003 Server

Ok. How about the NIC drivers on the workstations? Both up to date? XP
on SP3 + all current WU patches already? WIndows 2000 on SP6a + all
current patches already?

Yes, as up-to-date as I can make them.



What about the switch
or router connecting these together? What make and model and firmware
is it running? What is providing DHCP? Are the server and workstations
statically assigned or DCHP assigned IPs?

Static IPs, and I have tested another switch, and a crossover cable with no
change to results. I've also changed out the network cables, again no change.


Since you can initiate a copy from server to
workstation fine but a copy initiated from workstation fails,
something doesn't make any damn sense with that.

Yes, the only thing that makes any sense is somehow the permissions in 2003
are failing the transfer. But I know less than nothing about that :S

When I change some of the security settings in 2003 that I don't know much
about and try again it fails at different paints. (When it fails it fails in
the EXACT same place in a file no matter when i'm copying it, or which
workstation i'm copying it with. After I change something in security
settings on the file that place of failure changes)

And remember Linux copies without failing (it's a dual-boot on the 2000
machine, so the same hardware that is failing in windows)

Also, a transfer via FTP from the windows workstations (using a simple ftp
server on the 2003 server) does not fail.
