copying file over VPN server on Win2k

G

Guest

Hi
While I was copying files from a local machine (running win2k pro with SP4) to a remote machine over MS VPN (win2k and win2k3 server) connection, I got this error:
"The specified network name is no longer available.", and the file does not actually get copied correctly

Yet I am sure my network connection was good. I encountered the same problem after upgrading to XP SP1(as described in KB 810907)

So I am wondering if there is a fix for Win2k for this problem

I will appreciate any pointers/suggestions

Cannot Connect to a Network Share over a VPN Connection

SYMPTOMS
========
After you establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection with a
server, you cannot connect to any shares on the server. You can ping the
server by name and Internet Protocol (IP) address, but cannot connect to
shares on the server. Net View and Net Use commands fail with one of the
following error messages:
System error 121. The semaphore timeout period has expired
System error 53. The network path was not found.
System error 64. The specified network name is no longer available.

CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because the TCP window size for the TCP connection for
the VPN client is 0 (zero).
