cannot copy large files

[electraboy]

I'm using a small LAN with one W2KAS, acting as PDC, DHCP, File- and printserver, DNS, ...
When it try to copy large files (over 100 Meg) from the server to a client, after a while, the copyïng procces is stopped: &quot;cannot copy <file name>: the network resource is no longer available&quot;. At this time i'm still connected to that server with a remote desktop connection !
When i copy the same file from the server to the client, but launched from the server (with remote control), it works fine...

Maybe it has smthing to do with the delayed write failed error msg i get with my clients (on microsoft, i found smthing about that problem, but concerned NT4 and 2000, not XP !

Someone suggested that i have a wrong mtu size in the registry, but i don't know what they should be It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

I would also verify that your NIC/port settings for the entire LAN are uniform. Although this mainly results in extreme performance issues, usually one way.

Dear Electraboy

I had the same problem on my winXP => win2000 server network.

I work for a IT security company and i asked the local guru's about it and their answer was simple ... BUGGY WINDOWS !

I don't think there is a solution, if you have large files (e.g. a movie DIVX) use a simple ftp client/server.

you can download one from the IBM site or from tucows ...

when I used that everything worked fine ....
