I had the same issue, file transfer from Windows client to a file server. It always stopped if the file was larger than a few MBs. It turned out the ethernet patch cable was damaged (CRC error counting), replacing it solved the issue.
Another spooky issue was Skype on my iPad stopped working every 10 days. It turned out that I accidently set the WiFi switch to a static IPv4 address on a LAN with DHCP server (and I powered off the WiFi switch every night). So every few days another device on the network got the dynamic IP address (from DHCP) that I statically set also for the WiFi switch, ups.
- ay 12y agoDid you happen to keep that bad cable ? Would be terribly interesting to see which kinds of bitpatterns would trigger it.
- castell 12y agoSadly no. I told my co-worker about the cable and he told me that he had the same issue with a patch-cable too. He had damaged the cable with his office chair rolls and replaced the cable. So probably he stored it away, and I used his old damaged cable for months until I figured out my upload issue.
