FWIW, turning off MULTICAST has no effect - it still gets a few tens of meg
into the transfer and dies. I tried pinging the sending machine from the
machine with the Linksys card during the transfer, and everything looked OK
until right before the end - the last six ping returns had times from 3.5-10
secs (during the FTP, normal times were in the tens of msecs) - after that,
there were no more.
