Hi all,

Can anybody help us with this.

We have been transfering multiple large TIFF files, via ethernet,
between a Sun Sparc, running Solaris 1.1.1B, and a 266 MHz Pentium
server, running Windows NT 4.0.

The Sun publishes a volume to a Mac, using Helios ethershare. The Mac
also has a volume mounted on it that has been published by the NT box.

The transfer of the files is accomplished by draggimg the files out of
the Sun's published volume, on the Mac desktop, over to the Nt's
published volume. All of the files transfers appeared to go OK.

However, when we later opened up the TIFF image files that had been
transferred over to the NT box from the Sun we were shocked to find that
about 20% had been corrupted. That is, there are white lines running
through the images.

Does anybody know why this might be happening? There is nothing wrong
with the ethernet, nor with the Sun machine. The NT server is new, but
we doubt that there is a hardware problem there. We feel that the
problem is most likely to do with some kind of incompatibilty between
Solaris 1.1.1B and NT4.0. Does anybody have any clues?

If you think that you might be able to help, please e-mail me.

Thanks.

Kind regards.
