Question ID: 762735
In Windows XP (MCE 2005), my network connection stops responding after
heavy usage (i.e., copying large files across the LAN).  Outgoing and
incoming pings timeout, although the "sent packets" counter continues
to increase in the Status window.  No error messages are generated,
nor are there any related entries in the System Events Log.  I've
tried reinstalling Windows.  I've tried using the onboard VIA Rhine
10/100 NIC, a Linksys 10/100 NIC, and an Intel Pro Gigabit NIC.  I've
tried every PCI slot, 4 different cables (3 CAT-5, 1 CAT-6, all retail
manufactured), 2 different switches (one Linksys, one D-Link) and 1
router (D-Link).  I've turned flow control on and off and played with
other "advanced" settings (and then reset them back to their
defaults).

System specs:
Windows XP MCE 2005 w/SP2 and most recent updates as of September 2006.
Motherboard: ASUS A7V8X
CPU: Athlon XP 2200+
RAM: 768MB (3 x 256MB)
HDD: 2 200GB drives on 2 seperate channels
PSU: Enermax 450W

Hi albatross83,

Do you have the most up-to-date drivers on your network card?

Let me know if that solves/helps your problem.

DO you have an active firewall??
What might be causing it is the Windows Firewall or your own firewall.
Try turning it off, and see if that helps.

Hadn't thought of that, so I tried disabling it (Windows Firewall),
but the problem persists.

have you tried checking the IP addresses (and all other network
settings/proerties) before and after the file transfers?
