WinXP large downloads cause browser to hang

Hi,

I'm running Parallels Workstation RC 2.2, but my problem is apparent in both 2.1 and 2.2 versions.

I attempted to download a 354MB file from a website. After a varying size of download (anywhere from 16MB to 117 MB) the download hangs and just sits there. No crash, no problem - I can cancel the download just fine. But I cannot get the full file to download. I first tried this with Parallels Workstation 2.1 running on a Deban Linux host with a WinXP guest OS. When that repeatedly didn't work, I installed 2.2 and had the same problem. I'm using the ethernet bridge (and that all works just fine). I've used both Firefox and IE browsers, and they both exhibit the same behaviour. My networking seems to work fine, and I can ping out from the Windows guest OS, and into to guest OS.

Any ideas what to do?
