Any FTP or rsync transfer drops network connection

I'm using Scientific Linux on a laptop, connecting to a debian server on my LAN via a basic BT HomeHub router. When starting a file transfer with ftp or rsync from the laptop my connection is dropped, every time, after a couple of seconds. I have to reset my network adaptor and restart my network manager (wicd in this case) in order to get network connectivity back.

I had a very similar problem before -

On this occasion my workaround was to replace NetworkManager with yast. I am now using SL though so no yast available, and I am not using NetworkManager any more anyway.

Any ideas what could be causing this anyone?

Thanks in advance

Weirdly this seems to have been solved by using NetworkManager in preference to wicd.

Very strange.

Hi,

Which version of 'wicd'?
