copying files

I'm having problems copying files to/from a win2k computer to a win98/winme
computer via network (F&PS, 10/100 nics and a 10/100 switch).

The files are really big, 2gb, and at some point in the copy process (using
windows cut and paste), the copy fails with a msg about "network connection
lost."

This happens whether I'm copying from win2k or from the win98 or winme
computers (the files reside on the win2k). Tried a command prompt window,
and that also fails, eventually, although I do not get any error msg there.

Smaller files copy quickly and just fine.
 
Hi Bill,

The cause for the issue may be because of a large amount of collisions
occurring during file transfers. In general, the problem is protocol
independent but will most likely be observed in TCP/IP environments. The
problem may also happen on Intel-based computers.

RESOLUTION
=============

Download the most recent drivers V2.60 or higher, from Digital's Web site.

Bill, also look at the article

Digital routers.

well, network is small home office, and the routers and hubs are all linksys
10/100 switches.

But, the computers are all Intel. :-)

So I'm dead?
 
Interesting.

When I copy the same files to my Novell server (using ipx/spx) from the
win2k computer, they copy just perfectly, and then I can copy them back from
the server to the win98 computer with no timeouts or other problems.

Very strange why I can't copy directly!
