[sllug-members]: Network 2 GB Limit transfer

I've set up a samba file server for our home network, but anytime I try to 
transfer a file more then 2GB it fails. 

The Server is running CentOS 4.4 (which is basically RHEL) Kernel 2.6.9-42 and 
Samba 3.0.10-1. It's a mixed network of Linux and windows. 

I've googled the issue and everything I've found seems to say that there was a 
2GB limit with kernel 2.4 and older samba versions, but apparently that 
should have been fixed with newer versions. 

I know it's not a networking issue (at least with the clients or router) 
because I can transfer over 2GB using Knoppix running as a liveCD wtih no 
problems. 

Does anyone have any ideas what might be the issue and how I can go about 
fixing it?

thanks,
