Unable to push large files onto network drive
monkeyrpn wrote: 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. Wolfgang
