I have 2 Windows XP Home PCs connected through a Linksys 4-port DSL router, and a cable modem. Both PCs run only TCP/IP and use DHCP assigned by the Linksys. I have the Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP checked on both. I can browse to each computer from the other, but when I try to copy a large folder (200mb) or file (500mb) I lose the network connetion.

The error says the network resource is no longer available, though it will create the empty folder on the Copy To PC when I try to copy the large folder. The internet connection remains stable on both PCs.
