I can put any NT server I have on its knees by just connecting to a shared network drive on the server (for example from a PC running Windows 95) and transfer a large file file (>100 MBytes) from/to the server.

Is anybody able reproduce this "bug" ? ~Gillus
This is because you have enabled large file caching...the whole reason for this caching is for the transfer of large files...so that it can be done extremely fast...this will eat 100% CPU...not a bug a "feature" if any M$ product can be said to have "features" Christian Morley
