mn-500 file copy error

I have a Compaq Presario x1000 notebook with the 802.11b. I have my
desktop hardwired into the basestation, with the notebook connected
wirelessly. Everything is Awesome - all internet connections are
stable and never drop, 99% of the time the LAN connection is stable
anywhere in my house at "full strength".

I have a bunch of large files (4GB to 9GB avi's) to move from the
notebook to the desktop via the wireless LAN. (old vhs movies
digitized via my miniDV camcorder). I have been able to get 1 to
copy, but I have 3 more and the connection keeps dropping.

I tried selecting all 4 files and copying them AND tried doing one at
a time. I've managed to get one copied, but trying to get the other 3
I keep getting the following error:

1) First the little bubble pops up in the lower right hand corner that
says something about the "bridge is unplugged".
2) Then a dialog box pops up that says: "Cannot copy homemovie1.avi:
The network connection was abortd by the local system".

I've read thru the posts, but am not seeing anything exactly like
this. I have my "lease" renewing every 2 weeks, still get error. It
was set to 2 hours, and get the error. I verified that both are on
the same wireless channel, same network name, etc... Verified that
encryption is turned on @ 128bit and that both have same Key. I'm not
sure what else to look for since the internet connection on the
notebook is near-perfect and all other file transfers/printer
sharing/etc... are working great. Just when I copy a large file over
to the PC the connection drops, after a few minutes/seconds it's back
and I can try again.

(Why don't I just import the movies directly to the PC you ask?
because I'm too cheap to buy a fire-wire-pci card and another firewire
cable for my desktop when I have a perfectly legit solution here if
the connection would just stay up).

Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

I forgot to mention that IEEE 802.1x authentication IS NOT enabled, so
I know that isn't causing the problem (that seems to be a popular
response from many people for many issues).

Why do you have a network bridge. Remove that worthless piece of crap
from your network connections in the control panel.

lol, I have no idea why it is there, it's just always been there from
the time I first installed everything and was trying to get it all to
work correctly. Somehow it showed up and once everything was working,
I stopped messing around to find out what it was all about.

Hell, I don't even know what it does. So you are telling me to remove
it, I can do that but am I going to run into other issues, and more
importantly, will it solve my HUGE file transfer problem?

Thanks!

You ran the networking wizard on Windows XP and didn't pay enough
attention to the wizard. That is when the network bridge was created.
I'm surprised you were ever able to do anything with the network bridge
being created.

I disabled the bridge and it brought down my whole WAN and LAN
connection to/thru my desktop. Desktop stayed connected sine it is
hard wired, but the notebook lost all connectivity. Not sure what the
bridge is doing, but apparently it is needed.

The bridge shouldn't be needed, but it sounds like you need to program your
base station now. Go into 192.168.2.1 in your browser and put in the proper
settings for your LAN.

One other thing what file system is being used on the drive receiving
the files? If the file system is FAT32 forget it as this can never work
as FAT32 only supports files up to 4GB is size. For larger file size
you need to use the NTFS file system.

both notebook and desktop have NTFS.

I'm not sure what I did to get it working, it was too long ago, but
for the most part I followed the user's guide and nothing worked
right, so I came here to get help.

So now I've deleted the bridge on my notebook and the internet
connection is still OK, but there is no more LAN wireless
connectivity. It says it is "unplugged". The other thing that is
listed on my notebook is something under "INTERNET GATEWAY, BROADBAND
CONNECTION ON MS WIRELESS BASE STATION". Under LAN OR HIGH SPEED
INTERENT is my LAN that says network cable unplugged. Also shows a
wireless network connection enabled.

I have no clue what to do now, everything I try to do doesn't seem to
help.

And the "proper" settings would be what? When I get into it, it seems
to look OK to me. It shows my notebook connected and everything seems
to be filled in fine based on the user guide.
