Don't know how to solve it, but I do know that I see the same problem
between my Windows 2000 box and the Solaris network at work. The only
thing I could think of is that MS actually implemented an asyncronous
network stack?!?!?! I don't know how you'd do that, or if you did how
you'd justify the work it would take. But, I've transfered between
Linux boxes on the Windows network and the Solaris network, no problem.=20
It just seems to be my windows machine. (I was using the built in FTP
program, it might be a problem with that too).
