Have you tried copying between the machines that are involved and others on the network to determine whether the problem is particular to this source and/or target?

copy size?
8meg files and/or folders should be no problems at all. I typically copy 10
to 10,000 meg folders with files being 10 to 600+megs each no problems across various mix of xp and 98se pc's. Only time there's a problem it's almost invariably the nic itself at fault and I have had a couple seemed to work ok until under any amount of stress then ... nada so ...

The nic on the dell is on the back of the computer. The one on the laptop is visible and has 3 lights, but I don't know what they indicate. |
