Thread: Problem connecting two PCs

Hi guys its a problem I was having from last evening. I have two pcs now it had a network connection since I bought the new one.But last night when I tried to sent a big file from the second one I keep getting one msg-"data error cyclic redundancy check ".(happens only when I move a big file 1GB or so)

I reconfiguers the connection checked the port everthing is ok! and I can browse between PCs.Do I need to format my PC or what??

Anyone???

normally its an error when the data is corrupted
1.data may be corrupted
2.hard drives may be corrupted
3.check if write caching is enabled

Re-1 The problem doesn't concerns only one file.
Any big file can't be copied.

Re-2 This is a possiblity but it still works.I will check the lifespan.

Re-3 Yes it's enabled.

4. try formatting the hdd
5. also try replacing the crossover cable if your connection is wired

4-Format the HD I'll have to do a lot of work again.

5-I'll do that..

3.check if write caching is enabled

You were right.

Write caching was disabled (error-device parameters are incorrect) in the 1st PC!
And I was checking the 2nd continuously.
my fault.

Thanks Suvo!

anytime buddy

which OS are u using as i could never get connected on W7 between my dextop~lappy usin crossover cable

Plug each end of the crossover cable into a network port on the back of each computer.

On one of the computers that is running this version of Windows, do the following:

Open Network and Sharing Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then clicking Network and Sharing Center.

In the network map at the top of Network and Sharing Center, double-click the Unidentified network* icon. (If you have more than one network, this icon will be labeled Multiple networks.)

If network discovery and file sharing are turned off, in Network, click the Information bar containing the following message: "Network discovery and file sharing are turned off. Network computers and devices are not visible. Click to change...," and then click Turn on network discovery and file sharing. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

In the Network discovery and file sharing dialog box, select one of the following options:

No, make the network that I am connected to a private network

Yes, turn on network discovery and file sharing for all public networks

The first option is usually the best choice because it only affects the network that you are connected to.
