21281 2001-10-13 20:22:00 My laptop has w2000 and our desktop runs W98SE. I am using Netbeui to connect them and it works ok most of the time but when for example copying a large data file from one to the other by copy & paste I get random errors like ' can not copy (file name) The specified network resources or devise is no longer avaialable'

I had previously backed up my laptop to the desk top successfully but find I can not restore any files because the network randomly cuts out. The network used to work perfectly for copying and backups etc.

Any ideas.
