For me, as yet, it certainly only has happened when I've tried to copy a file to my server. The transfer just seems to make it explode. Having said that I have downloaded stuff fine, although that was overnight on a fresh install whereas this morning Windows Update added a host of new stuff so I'm not sure if it was fine yesterday and one of the updates has screwed it.
I'm not home at the mo so tonight I'll try different NIC drivers etc etc. Can't believe it would be the Quadcore but the prob seems so wide-ranging it may be tricky to trackdown. I'll post my NIC specs when I get in so we can have a compare.
It's a proper show-stopper for me though because it's the machine I use to work at home on.
I'd hazard a (relatively uneducated) guess that it's a driver issue and it's falling over when pushed hard. Having said that people have replaced onboard NICs with bought ones and nothing changes, so maybe it's a chipset thing.
Never simple is it?
