Subject:   OFF-Topic: NT Problem with FreeBSD server

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but this problem
only occurs when connecting to my freebsd machine.

I have a real weired problem with my NT WS 4.0 SP5:

I have to computers with 3COM 3C905B-TX NICs. One
is my FreeBSD server (3.3S) and the other one is my
workstation I work on (NT 4 WS SP5). The computers
are connected via a cross-over cable and work with
100MBIT full-duplex. When I transfer about 1GB from
the FreeBSD server to the workstation (or vice versa)
suddenly the TCP-Connection on the NT WS breaks. I
can't ping the FreeBSD server any more nor the workstation
itself (Error: hardware error). After a reboot of the
NT WS everything is back to normal (I don't have
to reboot the FreeBSD server). Normally I would
say that this is a NT problem (probably it is one) but
the interesting thing about this whole problem is
that this error only occurs with FreeBSD (tried
from 3.1S - 3.3S). When I boot any windows on my
FreeBSD server I can transfer as much as I want.
Unfortunately the Eventlog doesn't show any useful
information.

Any ideas?

I know I didn't provide any details nor configuration
files. I just want to hear some opinions. Tell me
what you need for a more detailed analysis and I will
provide it.
