I have a 2000 Server, with default installations, SP2, and a share on it. when clients connect to it to upload, the are fine for the first few minutes, then the transfer of files stops and it says "error copying file the specified network name no longer exists". the server is running ICS also. after this occurs, the internal interface cannot be pinged or anything.
I searched google for this error, but no luck. any ideas??

thx

I have had the same problem with a peer to peer Win2000 home network. I will be interested in solutions to your posting. I was thinking that the problem might be related to power management, but have not really taken the time to investigate it. Thank you

so far, I have checked all cables, switch, and reinstalled protocol stacks. it only happens when I am copying to the share that's on the NON system partition. when I copy to a share on the w2k adv servers's C: drive it works. also, the only cure for the problem is a full system restart.

I have facing the same problem with NT 4 and 2000 Adv Server in my customer place. First I though is the cable and switch problem because it be use 2 - 3 yoears. After I changed the switch and cable, it perform better and the problem come out intermediate. Then, I enlarge the page file size on the server to double size of the memory (depand on the HDD size avaible) it was ok and then it happen against the is cos by virus.

You may have consider/try out the idea that i exprerient. If not, you may can try it out and i hope it will help.

rgds,
