Yeah. When I read network I was thinking more in terms of a WAN where nodes may only be connected by 56K modems. Obviously sitting on a 10/100mbit network will get the file copied with no problems using SMB. Try that between some modems using SMB and you have the start to ending up in a mental institution. ;-)

Why is that? I've never had any problem copying 100MB+ files from one Win9x
machine to another. Over a 10Mbit ethernet (assuming little to no other
traffic) it should only take a little over a minute to transfer a 40MB file.
