Problem
While copying file from host, get following message "Cannot copy : The specified name is no longer available." in the guest.
Cause
This error is seen because the VMware virtual bridge can operate at any speed and is constrained only by the processing power of the host computer's processor. Windows Server 2003 includes security features that interpret network requests at speeds above a specified limit as denial of service attacks.
Solution
Disable large send offload in the network settings for the physical Ethernet adapter on the host computer.
