It's the same model netcard as what's in the BSD machine - Netgear FA310TX.
File sharing between Windows machines is *significantly* faster.  I can
imagine that BSD thinks its already sent as much as the receiver can take,
but why does it think it needs to resend that particular piece when Windows
has ack'd it twice (unless doing so is a bad idea - like I said, I'm not
that much of an expert).

Thanks,
