Fedora 8 freezes on large data transfers

[methos]

I am having trouble with my internal network, to be more exact, Fedora network connection. I have absolutely no network issues when I am just doing everyday stuff such as web browsing, email, etc...

The problem occurs when I try to transfer large amounts of data, doesn't matter if I pull data from another Fedora box or windows box, result is the same. The transfer starts fine, but after less than a minute, the entire system freezes and I have to do a forced reboot. I have tried scp with the other Fedora machine and Gnome commander for the windows boxes to do the transfer. The rest of my network continues to work normally so I am pretty sure it is not my router. I have been using Red Hat/Fedora since long before Fedora and I have never run into anything like this. I haven't change any hardware on my machine for 2 years so I really don't know where to start looking.

Any help would greatly appreciated.

i've had a similar problem with my "Intel Pro 100/1000CT CSA" onboard gigabit nic from fc3 to f7 and a couple of versions of centos, never sorted it out, just put in a pci gigabit nic with a decent chipset and disabled the intel crud.

oh mine hard crashed the machine - i.e. had to unplug the power cable to get it started again.

I have been using a linksys 10/100 PCI network card.

Do you think it is something new with F8 or did I install something wrong?
