 Thread : Internet / Ethernet stops working when using network drive.

More Information

Hello,
I've been having this problem with my ethernet drive when transfering a large sum of files like 10gb it starts to transfer but after about 1 or 2 gb it disconnects and I have to restart me computer. If I do it in increments like 1 gb at a time it's fine.

I am running
Windows Vista Ultimate / Xp Pro
Pentium D 930 @ 3.6 Stable
Asus P5WD2-E premium
ATI X1800XT
The network drive is an iomega 250gb fast ethernet drive.
This problem happens in both operating systems.
Any ideas?

Only thing I might think is the cache on the iomega drive is bombing out. Either the NIC cache or the iomega cache. This proves it because you can move 1 to 2 gig at a time.

Do you have more than 1 PC. Does it happen on all pc's. Try a new nic see if the same happens. Something is flooding and cant recover from the flood of data transfer.
