network transfers intermittent

Asked by predrag balorda

I am having this funny issue where everything seems ok with Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Desktop but if I try to transfer a file from my server to my desktop machine the problem arises that the transfers start off with nice speeds (2MB/s over wireless) and then stall for about 10 seconds or so, then start again, then stall.

First I noticed this with windows shares (using nautilus) so I thought I'll try the ftp instead but still the problem is there. I reboot but the problem is still there.

I thought maybe it's to do with the cpu so I have tried setting the cpu frequency to ondemand, performace, 1.2GHz fixed, 2.0GHy fixed but always the same thing.

The same thing happens with, for example, making skype (video) calls, it works for 30 seconds, then stalls for 10, then works for 30 then stalls for 10 ad infinitum.

Anyone have any ides?

I wish I could attach a picture of my network monitor applet for you to see the actual network activity, maybe it would help solving my issue.

Can you help with this problem?
