Unable to push large files onto network drive

This is my set up. I have my PC running Windows 7, connected through
wireless to the internet and my home network via Apple Airport
Extreme. I have a harddrive connected to the Airport Extreme acting
as a network drive. I can see the network drive, and I pull files of
all sizes from it, but I have not been able to push large files to
it. I can push small files to it with no issues. I tried pushing a
1.4GB video file to it and it keeps giving me the error message:
"There is a problem accessing A:\ Make sure you are connected to the
network and try again"
I have an iMac hooked up to the network. I can push the same 1.4GB
video file from my PC to the iMac over the wireless network. I just
cannot push it onto the network harddrive. While I have no problems
pushing large files onto the network harddrive from my iMac.
So in summary:
Pushing large files from PC to network harddrive - Failed
Pushing large files from PC to iMac - Success
Pushing large files from iMac to network harddrive - Success
I've tried most of the proposed solutions I found on the internet.
I've turned off the firewall - no change. I've turned off my
anti-virus - no change. I've tried disabling autotuning - no change.
I've turned of the power setting on my network adapters - no change.
I've turned off the Remote Differential Compression - no change. I've
tried the file transfer in Safe Mode - no change.
So what is the problem here and what else can I try????
I would do a packet capture of a successfull and not successfull push
and look, where the transfer fails. For the packet capture on the
Windows box you can either use Windows Network Monitor 3.4 or
Wireshark. For the Mac I'd use Wireshark.
