I can't remember the specifics from the earlier EMail; Is one of the boxes a
Win98 box with a Realtek Network card?? If so, and you're using the Win98
drivers, then this lovely combo can cause data corruption without giving any
errors (till you view the file content). Solution is to install the latest
driver from the Realtek site, and add another item to the "Why not to use
Windoze" list. -_^
