hmmm... ok. does the router have any logging function? if it does, anything in the logs? what kind of router by the way? also. if you have time, are you willing to see if you can setup a test between your two machines/router with the machines both having static ip addresses? i'm curious to nail down exactly what the issue might be... i'm inclined to think it's a setting somewhere in the router... you say you're using scp... can you setup a nis share on one of the boxes, and attach from the other, and copy the files from the client, to the nis share? -----Original Message----- From: Frank Cox [mailto:theatre@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 2:01 PM To: bruce Cc: 'Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora.

I just turned set the wireless security on my router to "disabled" and then booted the Acer Aspire One and got it online wirelessly. I then used scp to copy the large file from my desktop computer to the Acer. The first time I tried it, all 5mb transferred just fine. It would only get through about 3mb of that before locking up with the WPA2 security enabled. I then attempted to copy that file a second time, entering the exact same command. And after getting about halfway through the transfer (just short of 3mb) the connection was locked up just the same as it was before. So the problem still exists with the wireless security turned off. It seems to transfer about twice as much data before locking up, though. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
