Wired Router File Transfer Problem

Hello,

I have a desktop and aspire one setup wired through a router.
I recently finally tried to transfer a file from the desktop to the netbook and started seeing a problem.
Wireless transfer has no problems......The problem is kinda hard to explain so I'll try to explain this the best I can.

The file would start transfering and "freeze/stall" if I didnt use the netbook.
(Basically the "Copying" Window.. would originally start at for ex.. 5 min.. then when not using the netbook slowly increase.. to 10.. 15.. 20.. 40.. 50.. and onwards til there was no time left stated on the transfer)
When I say use.. I mean actively open programs / folders / etc... meaning if I left the netbook as is... the file would not transfer... or would transfer very slowly.
Then I started becoming "active" on the netbook again... the transfer would go at normal speeds. (Copying window would drop back to normal times) Then of course.. if I went off the computer... it would go back to "freeze/stall" status.

I definately know it is not a problem with the router as I have tested this on multiple routers.
I have a feeling it has to do with the aspire one's hardware... and that somehow the netbook is goin to auto power management mode... thus stopping/stalling any transfers that are occuring.

Anybody else have such a problem? Please advise.
Unfortunately I did the RAM upgrade.. and warranty pretty much seems out of the question... any work arounds?
Can anyone test my problem..? Basically start a transfer (wired) transfer from desktop to netbook.. dont use the netbook and see if the transfer occurs or not.. or if it freezes...

FYI... transfer from desktop to netbook is a problem. Transfer from Netbook to desktop (for some reason) has no problems. Very weird...

Thank you!!!

 

Anyone???
