My first inclination given what you said is to swap out the NIC. You don't
have mulitle NICs with failover or balancing do you?

Subject: Weird Network Problem.


I am trying to copy about 600meg of data across my 100meg network to a
server.  I start the transfer and after about 15 seconds it stops.  When
watching event viewer I get no errors on either end for the network
Interface, the data just stops transferring.  I have tried accessing the
same data from the same workstation to the same server while the copy is
stopped with no problems at all, just a bit slower.  It seems that other
machines on my network are having the same problem getting to that server.
Every once in a while they will have lags of up to 2 or 3 minutes but never
at the same time as other workstations which have the problem.  I haven't
seen any problems between the workstations and other servers or
workstations.  No matter where I throw either the server or workstations on
the switch I have the same problems.  And it only seems to be a major
problem when there are large amounts of data being transmitted over the
network.  

I am thinking that the network card in the server is starting to die.
During a large transfer (100% bandwidth) the server network card has
problems.  And the workstation just sits there waiting for a response from
the server that it never gets until it times out in which case the server
happily transfers data until it hiccups again.  Does sound like a logical
explanation or am I way off base?

Thanks for the help.
