    Hi,

    I'm having problems with my network connection timing out during large
    transfers.

      It's connected to a 10Mbit hub so it's not topping out at the card's
    maximum throughput.

      Originally I had a Realtek 8139 card but yesterday I dumped that in
    favour of a Netgear FA311 (sis chipset) and this seemed to solve all
    timeout problems of sustained transfers (saturating the connection for a
    sustained period of time).

      However, I've just had a couple more timeouts in the last few hours.
    Obviously I was never sure it was the NIC in the first place but I can't
    ignore the fact I had a good 20GB transferred without problem yesterday
    (as opposed to usually around 1GB before the card dies).

      Data is being uploaded to a Samba server, which reports no errors in
    the log (and I have no problems uploading a 100Mbit from inside my
    network). The server is running 4.9-RELEASE and the drive the data is
    going to is a vinum volume (in case that has any bearing).

      I'm using ipnat to forward port 139 to inside a jail. Finally, my IP
    is assigned by a DHCP server -- the lease length is 24h but my IP is
    static (for the last four months, anyway ;).

      Any suggestions for the best way to go about tracking the problem
    down? If anybody needs any more details just ask and I'll do my best to
    provide.

      Thanks very much,

    -lewiz.
