Are the NIC cards in the Dos box older (like 10MB cards)? One thing to try is to change the MaxMTU setting on the XP box. I used to do this Windows 9x boxes, and it helped. However, then it was a registry change. It appears not to be on XP, so try this:
http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp I haven't tried this program, but it might help. On Windows 9X boxes (and probably XP), the default is 1500 bytes. I've dropped this to as low as 256. I'd try 512, and if there are still problems, try 256. Hope this helps.

I have several DOS systems that now need to connect to XP systems to get to the network. (Switching from Novell to MS 2003 Ent. so no easy connecting to the server) The DOS systems are running tcpip. They connect and map a drive on the XP box. I can access the directory and create directories and copy files 1 or 2 at a time, The problem is that I start copying directories full of files from the DOS box to the XP box, it will copy a file or 2 and then just sits on a file, the XP box shows the file as 0KB. I then have to reboot the DOS system to get it back. CTL&Break doesn't work. The 0kb file is locked by the DOS box and can only be deleted by it, even if I've rebooted. Any ideas why I am having issues coping files? TIA B . . Why didn't George Washington's father punish him for chopping down the Cherry Tree?
