Hi all.

I have been having this problem for ages, and don't know what to do about it, other then rebooting all the time.

The network is CAT-5 type, TCP/IP all boxes set to obtain IP addresses etc from the broadband router, which works fine, however, when I try to send a DivX file to the mediaplayer box, the transfer starts, but goes exteremely slowly, with Windows saying it will take around 136 minutes to move the 530MB file...

However, if I reboot, then try to send the file, it goes at full speed.
This happens every single time, and I can always get the file to transfer at full network speed, if I reboot the machine I am sending the file from...

Just wondering if there is anything I can do to stop this.

Sounds like the page file is to small. Rebooting will clear the page file (virtual memory). Try increasing the page file.

Cool - thanks - will do this, and post back with the results.
