just out of couriosity, is your server also acting as a firewall or
does it employ any kind of IP filtering?

- last weekend i did upgrade my home network from 10 Mbit to 100 Mbit
and I instantly got hitten by a kernel bug (2.4.4-4GB) which didn't show
up at 10 Mbit access. I couldn't upload large files to the server anymore,
broken stream etc ... several attempts later the Linux box crashed.

after I had disabled firewall, AplleShare transfers reverted back to
rocksolid.

I don't believe these messages are related to your upload problems
