Topic: server reboots when moving files from xp pro!

[vesnick]

Hi every one

Here is my story.

I'm logged into win xp pro. I can move or copy a file from an ibay ( sme6 or sme7) to the windows xp machine.
But whenever I try to copy or move a file from the windows xp pro machine to an ibay on the sme server the server computer restarts.
The error is only with an xp pro computer not windows 2000.
Copy or move to an ibay with win 2000 is fine.
I have tried it on 3 xp pro computers.
This error I am having is with sme6 and now with sme7 final (clean install)
Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this.
I have no problems logging in to the domain with or without the reg patch on xp pro.

This is what i tried.
1. Swaped the network cards over.  Internal now does external network external now does internal. Still the error was  there.
 
2. swaped the motherboard and intel cpu and power supply but kept the same hdd and network cards.

Did not need to reinstall the sme7 software ( cool!! ) just plugged it in and it found everything.
The Problem has now GONE!!!! WOOOHOO!!.  

Possibly not the best solution as I would like to know what exactly was that made xp reboot the server but I had the items floating around the office and wanted to move on from this error. I Still find it odd that windows 2000 was always ok.

I hope this can help someone else sometime

Im just taking a shot in the dark, but there might be some variable that is different between xp and 2k that changes the amount of data or speed of data transfers across the network.  With a piece of failing hardware I sometimes find that if you push it to 50% then it will run fine, but if you push it past that say to 75% it will crash every time.  You might have been pushing it to hard with the xp machine since it might have been able to copy files across the network and higher speeds.....again im just guessing.

Do the server logs offer any help ?

Is it a Standard SME or there other addons included ?
