File transfer size.

Is there some sort of limit on file size that can be transferred across a
network?

I'm trying to send a 12 gig .avi file that I've made on my XP laptop to my
ME desktop machine (with the DVD burner).

It just won't do it; says network access denied.

I believe the FAT32 file system (on Windows 95, 98, Me, for example) only
allows for a maximum file size of 2GB.

The maximum file size on a FAT32 (Windows 98, Me) drive is 4gb minus a few
bytes, so you won't be able to transfer the file.

Ah, 4Gb... It's been awhile... I was close.

Thanks for clarifying!
