Problem - Readynas pro rndp600e + netgear GS-Serie Switch
Recently, I've been in touch with Netgear's Customer support (NETGEAR Support case #14006630) about this problem : A PC, windows 7, linked to the NAS (5x1.5to) through a GS-605 Gigabit switch. As s...
It seems the GS-605e didn't really solve my problem.
As charleslacour mention it, connecting at 100mb makes the connection stable, but at 1000mb, not anymore...
Any transfer may or may not start and if they start, at 5%, 50% or 80%, the transmission may stop.
I've checked what the prosafe plus utility could diagnose but no CRC error packets and all cable pass the test.
I just can't understand anymore where is the matter coming from. I've changed all my cables, passing even from cat5e to cat6 and as for the network card settings (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, Gigabyte motherboard), except enabling/disabling jumbo frame, which didn't help, i can't see what to modify. Drivers are all updated.
By the way, when a transfer is about to stop, i've noticed that the switch is not anymore manageable and is not anymore in the list of the prosafeplus utility.
Erratic, that's the word. Sometimes, it transfers at 4mo/s, sometimes at 70mo... for the same kind of file. I'll try to disable the flow control on the computer see if it solves anything.

There are other factors like drivers, jumbo frame settings etc.
