Files are changed over the network

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi,

I am using two PC's, both of them are WinXP SP2, wirelss network (D-Link
stuff) that includes two USB cards for the PC's and a wireless router which
is connected via modem to ADSL. I'm also using anti-virus on both of the
platforms.

I noticed that somehow files are changed when I am transferring files
between the two PC's. Actually, only exe, DLL and zip files where modified.
Texted files as well as ini files were left 'untouched'.

Any suggestions ?

Hi.

I do not think that it has to do with Internet or Viruses.

"Quirky" Network might trash EXE ZIP DLL files while leaving alone text
files (ini are usually simple text files).

This phenomenon might occur in wired Network too and it is usually a result
of Bad CAT5 cables.

I can tell you what I would do!

I would re-configure my Network and the Basic Wireless with Wire. I.e.
connect one computer with a CAT5 to the Router and do the initial
configuration with Wire. Taking it one step at the time until I find what
step is Trashing the Files. When every thing seems to work well switch to
Wireless only.

May be this can Help in the steps.
