File transfers start and then hang? Same with web downloads!

I've just setup a new 1900+ on an Epox 8k7A. The machine is the third wired computer on my LAN. I'm using a Linksys BEFW11S4 router and LNE100TX cards. I have had and continue to have no problems with the other machines on the LAN. The problem:

File transfers between this computer and others on the LAN seem to start and then hang up. I have a similar problem when trying to download from the web. I can surf the web quickly but when I try to download I get the same action as when I try to transfer files within the LAN.

I've tried several PCI slots. The first was PCI Slot 5 where I couldn't get any recoginition between this computer and the other LAN rigs. I then moved it to slot 3 and I got partial success. I've tried Slot 4 and there is no improvement over Slot 3. I'm really stuck.

I would appreciate any help you can provide me.
 
Any chance the the autonegotiation of the speed/duplex not working quite right. I am not 100% familiar with the exact details of that router, but I have seen those types of problems caouse by full/half duplex problems.

Just a thought......
 
I'm not familiar with that at all. Would you please elaborate for me . Thank you, IJump. 🙂

For an experiment, I took the Linksys LNE100TX version4 out of one of the machines that is working properly and placed it in the 1900+ machine. I had to uninstall the version 5 to install the older version 4 in the 1900+. That did not fix the problem. I did not exchange the cat 5 cable but is that a possible problem? I feel I have deleted the possibility of the NIC card being the problem.
 
Since those are 10/100 Mbps autosensing cards and you're connecting to a switch, make sure all the machines are running at 100 Mbps full-duplex. It's possible that the TCP/IP settings are messed up on that computer somehow.
 
I wish I could say I knew exactly what step I took to fix this situation but I can't. I switched the LNE100TX to PCI Slot 2 and uninstalled the Anti-Virus and did several resets of the IP Address and DNS Address and all of a sudden it started working. There may have also been an issue with Permissions where either the Guest or my personal logon didn't belong to the Administrator Group. That also could have been part of the problem.

Proud to say it is chomping like a champ. Thanks for the help. 🙂
