I have a laptop connected to a Netgear DG834GT router by an ethernet cable and a desktop PC connected via Netgear WG111T USB adapter. I've run the Windows Network wizard to set up shared folders between the two machines but whenever I try to copy any large files the copy breaks down, the USB adapter needs to be replaced in order to restore connectivity and the network seems to go down.
Any tips on how to fix this? Other than toss the USB device out the window.
