samba - May 2009 - Copying of large file is failed

Hi All,

I have a problem when copy large file (>= 1Gb) from Windows XP (SP3)
or Windows Vista Home Edition to FreeBSD 7.1 with samba3 installed:
copying of file is interrupted with error "Network name is no longer
available". All computers are members of one workgroup. I did try
several samba's settings thinking that problem relates to network
browsing but did not solve the problem.
Could you suggest me how to investigate or solve this?

Thanks,
Anatoly

What's the hardware platform? Is it possible that the disks
are really slow, something like a usb drive?

This could also point to a network problem. 
Check whether your NIC's flow control is set to Auto-negotiation. My
experience that it's best to set this to 10/100/1000 half or full duplex
depending on the capabilities of your switch.

Cheers
