Hi

My computer will freeze if I produce heavy network traffic. The crashes happen
after an arbitrary time and seem not to be related to hardware defects.
I tried the onboard nic and the rtl8139 which worked fine for me with my old
mainboard. I've copied the same file with windowsXP and tried some other
heavy network traffic just to see wheater it might be an hardware error but
the system was stable. After I have started to import my home directory via
NFS the crashes became more often. I will crash my system if I copy a big
file via SMB.
I had the problem with Mandrake 9.1 and now with 9.2 and even compiled my own
kernel (mandrake source) with no effect.

Any suggestions?

Jens

Here is some output of my system:

If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.
