We found out, that it must be a problem between MS an 3com. We are using
the 3com 3c905 TX cards. Under Linunx these cards are running. But under
MS 95 and NT we had troubles all the time. No matter if you are copying
MS->MS or MS->Samba. All files bigger than 50MB crashing the system :-(
Two weeks ago we downloaded the new driver disks from 3com's website.
Since that day I didn't have a crash again. Beside this, it seems to
be mutch faster too.

Have a nice day!
