Dropping a connection while file transfers – Solved

by james schroer . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

Running a windows 2003 SP2 server with a few file shares. The set up is a little complex but nothing that is really out of the ordinary. The issue is when I’m copying files from my laptop to this server I get an error stating the connection is dropped. When doing a trace route to the server I have 6 hops and I’m sure there are a firewall or two in the middle of me and the server. But I can copy to other systems in the same network as the server with no problem. ALSO I can copy from other systems in the same network as that server with no problem. Also I can ftp to that server with no probems from my laptop.

I did a network trace and did see that it must of lost some packets. Why would it be doing this to my server and not to others in the same network and why can I transmitte inside the same network with out any issues.

I’m at a complete loss as to why I’m dropping the connection. Any ideas would be great. Thanks
