Afternoon, we have had an issue with a couple of our windows 2003 servers for
a few months now but it's something we now need to fix, it seems we can
connect or map a drive to a servers C drive and create files on it, we can
even copy small files to it from my local machine.. but as soon as I try to
copy larger files (as in 4-5mb) I get an error telling me 'make sure you are
connected to the network and try agian' I am definatly connected to the
network and it only happens on these two servers, it also happens for others
not just me... anyone any ideas? I found this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259837 but it's the wrong OS and not quite
the correct error.... pls assist if you can!
 
Re: Copying large files fails

Hello Ziguana,

Which SP do you use? Have you checkd the NIC driver's for newer version?
Do you use one or more NIC's from each server to connect on the network?

Best regards

Re: Copying large files fails

Windows 2003 Standard R2 SP 1, it's a HP ML370 G4 and the nic has the latest
drivers, we have 3 more of these servers that are without issue. Only one NIC
in the machine.

Hope that helps?
