network shuts down when trying to transfer a large file.
 

I have a problem that I can't seem to fix.When I try to transfer a large file lets say 700Mb or so my wireless shuts down and i have to restart my ubuntu computer the other computer is vista.ubuntu is on a wusb54gver4 and vista is going through a wrt54g tm running dd-wrt mega.I have tried every thing i know with no luck.Please help me

Are you getting any error in the console if the transfer got hung?.

I'm advising you to tail the system logs while transferring the file. This will help you to trace out the actual issue.

I am assuming you are transferring from VISTA go your Linux box.
You didn't say how you were doing it.
You might what to consider another protocol. Perhaps rsync or robocopy.

I was not clear and I am sorry.the transfer is from ubuntu to vista.

What log file would i need to look at?

Anyone?

Logs are in /var/log directory. Check files messages.log, syslog, daemon.log, dmesg. You can also run your file transfer application from command line (run program "gnome-terminal") to see errors.
