Hi all,
Recently added a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router to my home ADSL
network (Netcomm 1300 plus 4 modem) and then successfully managed to
configure an Airport Express (using WDS) to extended its range. I
now have a Mini Mac connected directly via ethernet to the Linksys
router, and a latest model G4 powerbook connected wirelessly to the
network via the Airport Express. Both running Tiger 10.4.1. 98% of
things have worked fine since configuring this setup. The one major
problem I have experienced is during file transfers using Finder
between these two machines. Invariably, file transfers will stall
mid-transfer, often causing Finder to have a conniption that "force
quit" or "kill" via Terminal sometimes won't even solve. Not all file
transfers fail in this manner, but most do, and the problem exists
when attempting to transfer files in either direction. As far as I
can tell the problem also appears to be independent of the type of
file transferred. The one solution I have found is to zip the file
before transfer (data/resource fork issue?). However, having to zip
large (i.e > 200MB) files before transferring is hardly ideal, so I'm
on the hunt for a more permanent solution. Anyone have any
experiences to share?
I haven't been able to find much (read anything) on this specific
problem at all despite a pretty extensive web search. If anyone has
anything to shed on the matter it would be most helpful. I
appreciate that there are a number of links in this transfer chain so
any information could potentially be of use.
Cheers, Matt.
