I've tried that, and am still having the exact same problem. Also,
looking at it in greater detail, when I do take the link down, then back
up, my transfer speed from Windows XP ---> FreeBSD is roughly half of
what it was before the whole problem started happening. This was
determined using PerformanceTest on the Windows XP box doing disk tests
on a Samba share. No samba settings were changed, and disk space hasn't
changed by more than about 500 megs.
