Yes, I know, this is an XP group and my issue revolves around Win2K....I
have posted this issue 3 times in the 2K group and am getting "NO"
answers......As XP is basically built on the same foundation as 2K I
suppose my issue may have some relation...........
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have 6 computers networked in my home, no domain just plain ole'
sharing basically..........
I'm using a 4-port router uplinked to a 8-port workstation.......
Bottom line, no matter if they are connected to either devices one
particular machine recieves tranfered data corrupted......It appears to
only happen with larger files.......I've yet to actually isolate at what
size the file is when it corrupts but I can say this, I transfer 350mb
ea. avi files and all are corrupted on the recieving end, maybe a few
blocks short to repair. Smaller files appear to be no problem.........A
few smaller exe installs though were corrupted a few times but were
easily repaired from the original.
My router is brand new as it was on the fritz and I thought maybe that
was the prob but it's not......Any other machines I transfer to across
the network all transfer perfect files...(I do use checkers) I have 3
different HDrives on the one machine in question & copied files to each
one thinking maybe a bad partition or drive, still same problem....Even
put a different NIC card, RJ45 cable & still the same issue.........
I'm at a loss here, and my search of this issue, I suppose, is not
specific enough because I can't find an answer.
To also add.....It is definately an operating system issue as I had
booted to my other 3 OS's on the same machine in question and all files
transferred perfectly.......That's 2 XP's & 1 2K......The install in
question is 2K on my 1st partition.......All machines on my network are
running Win2K SP4 with all the latest updates BTW.......
Thanks for any help..........
