Large file copy locks up onboard NIC

Just did a major hardware upgrade (pretty much everything but the drives) and a fresh XP Pro install on my main desktop. It is currently attached to my network via PCI wireless card and my backup desktop is cable connected to the router. The backup machine has an nVidia nForce-400 (socket A) chipset with onboard LAN, also XP Pro. Using the latest nVidia driver, dated 2007, mobo BIOS is also latest available.

Trying to transfer all my pix and MP3s (about 15GB) and after about 1GB of file transfers, the onboard NIC locks up and I lose the network connection. It does not respond to ipconfig /release and /renew from command prompt, nor from Windows attempt to repair the connection. The only thing that works is a reboot.

Any thoughts? My current work-around is a flash drive and I may hardware the new PC to the router until I have all the files transferred but that's not real convenient.

Re: Large file copy locks up onboard NIC

suspect a failing NIC (with as cheap as they are, get a new gigabit card). recommend trying different drivers (older if its up to date) though, in case its something with the current driver.

 i had a NIC driver die or corrupt itself out of the blue on one of my boxes. It dropped back to 10 instead of 100 and didn't cause an issue (ie. i didn't notice) until i tried to do a large transfer which would lockup the computer Seemed to do about a gig or so before crashing, also.

Like suggested try another driver first, whether older or newer and maybe even the same just because.
