Thanks for answering. I am afraid that this is not what I want: The problem is that the network card, after lots of data (about 4GB) - either in receive or in transmit, stops responding correctly. So I want to somehow "reset" in order to see if this will solve my problem.
Any other ideas please? cheers, Mihalis.
