Computer locksup on ftp transfer, internal IP

[DannyLove]

It seems this computer (bros) has given me nothing but problems. I'm on 4 port router, and whenever I want to transfer a large file to my bros computer, his always locksup.

I'm always the server, and they connect to me via bulletproof using the regular internal IP. anyways, everytime I want to transfer a large file, (ie. wav file of 800MB or a bin/cue of 750+MB) his computer just locksup and I have to reboot.

He was using the on-board LAN card the motherboard came with, and I figured it was that, so I replaced it with a Lite-On Ethernet Card, but just right now I got the same result. Its almost random. I think there was one occasion where it didn't lockup. My questions is this: Could this possibly be a RAM issue? If you lurk around, this isn't the first of many problems I've encountered with my bros computer ever since I built it in November, and I've been getting nothing but problems. But from experience, would ram be part of this lockup issue being that it has to make memory and room for such a large file?

The system is:
MSI KTV4
xp 2000+
kingston 512 PC3200 DDR ram.
Seagate 80 gig
OPTORITE burner and a 24x cd-rom

thanks

I've transered 600MB files to my file server using NFS/Samba/FTP and it is only a P150 with 32M. It has never chocked on
any file transfer. If these problems occur sporadicly without any common link, then bad RAM could be a culprit.

Also, make sure you have updated all the drivers for the motherboard. I know of at least 3 boards that ship with drivers that lock up on any large data transfer, even HD to HD.
