File copy always interrupted over wireless network

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Are you basically saying that your wireless connection is dropping briefly
every 30seconds to 2 minutes? Make sure your wireless security settings are
correctly configured, in particular, make sure 802.1x authentication is not
enabled. I'd also suggest turning off any sort of power saving modes on the
wireless adapter. This option can be found in the advanced properties of
your wireless interface in the Network Connections folder. Sometimes there
are incompatibilities between the wireless adapter and the access point when
power saving modes are enabled.
