OK not sure if this is the right place to put this question. In the office I currently work in the owner is upgrading all workstations to HP Windows 7 Pro, some just OS upgrades while the majority have been brand new PCs. IF we try to download files larger than 5MB the file starts out fine but once it reaches 4MB or Higher the download slows down to 0kb/s then we receive Failure: Unknown Network Error. I can then go to an XP Pro box and download with no issue. All the PCs are located behind the same RV082 Linksys Router. I have tried using different browsers and I can't figure it out. Any other info needed to help I will provide. If it was a router issue I would think it would happen on all machines regardless of OS. Also, I have connected one PC directly to the cable modem with Win 7 Pro and files download no problem.

They're talking about downloading from an online backup site, but it seems pretty similar (no files > 5 MB, Windows XP was unaffected but Windows 7 was affected).


Tried it and still had same error>
