have you tried pinging the computers/router/websites from each computer to check for packet loss/delays. Assuming you are using Windows XP, from your system: -Go to the command prompt (Run >> cmd) -type ping "your router's ip address" /t (probably 192.168.1.1) -let it run a while...no...

First of all, you should be running memtest for more than 20 minutes. Second, memtest has nothing to do with the HDs. Make a boot disk with memtest86 or memtest86+ on it, boot from it, and let it run for AT LEAST five consecutive passes. This should take about 2-3 hours, maybe a little...

Sadly, I've had this hapen before as well... I'll just leave it... Any comments on the delayed write failure and my solution attempt or whatnot?
