Running XP with SP2, I am not able to move files of
moderate size to my servers (2003). Sitting on the XP
client and moving a file (2GB) to a non-mapped share on
the server, after 10-12 seconds I receive an error msg,

Error Copying File or Folder:
Cannot copy FILENAME: The specified network name is no
longer available.

Each time this occurs (whenever I copy), the Eventlog
shows Event ID 3019 (The redirector failed to determine
the connection type.) The explanation for this event
is "The redirector could not determine the physical
characteristics of the connection, for example, the media
type or bandwidth." "This message is logged for
informational purposes only." And "No user action is
required."

Talk about gross understatement ... how about "no user
interaction is required for people who wish to run
standalone systems"?

Does anyone have any information on why the redirector on
XP SP2 suddenly loses track of who it is talking to and
shuts down the connection, and what we can do to correct
it?
