I am having a strange problem. Home network background is this:
I have a PPOE dsl account and a Linksys etherfast router as a gateway. I have 3 pc’s on this small lan. The IP addresses are hardcoded (im not using dhcp). I can use 2 of my pc’s without any problem accessing internet resources. But the machine I use most of all, is acting strangely.
On this pc I can browse the web (as I’m doing right now) use ICQ, stream mp3 music to winamp, just about any thing you can think of except tranfer large files. When I try to download a file, after the first 480-510 kb are transfered, the whole process stops. I also have a related problem in house. I went to one of the other pc’s and downloaded a larger file just to get it here & thought I’d try to tranfer the file in house. The file won’t transfer. I can however tranfer smaller files just fine.
What setting is screwed up? It must be a windows setting. (Win98se on this box)
Any help would be gladly appreciated.
