Hi guys, I have a big problem with my network between my notebook and my desktop computers... All the network configurations are ok, both computers can talk to each other and they can share files and directories. But there is a big problem... If I start to copy something from the desktop computer, after a few seconds the copy stops, because it says that it can't find the file anymore. So i have to unmount the network disk and remount it. I start the copy again and, after a few secons, that error message appear again.
I've tried to do "ls" on the network disk and all files are commented with:

Stale NFS file handle

Either, if I click on them in GNOME, they simply disappear...
I don't know what to do... I need to copy some big files from desktop to notebook, but I can't...

Hi there

I saw this a while ago on my home network. The network card in my laptop had developed a fault and data was being dropped when the buffers were full. This fault did not appear when downloading from the net as downloads were only at 256K instead of 100Mb

Either test your cards by substitution (if you have spares) or try one of your machines on another network.
