Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem. See post
below:

I recently reformatted a Dell laptop (D600). I downloaded all the
drivers from Dell including the wireless one. I have a Intel (R)
Pro/Wireless 2100 LAN miniPCI Adapter. I can connect to the company's
network fine and the internet as well.

My problem starts when I try to copy a file from the server to the
laptop that is bigger than 2 MB. When I copy and paste on the laptop,
the wireless disconnects momentarily and then I get an error "Invalid
File Handle" or "specified network name is no longer available."
Basically, it just can't stay connected long enough to copy it.

I am having no other connection issue. If I try to copy a file less
than 2 MB it is fine, no problems. I can stay connected to the
internet/network all day long, no issues either. Any ideas? Where
would there be a size setting for what I can copy?

I still haven't solved it. Chances are it's the network card at least for my
system, as we've tried to change everything else.

The irony is that we're having to burn DVDRWs to transfer large files
between the PCs, although that's simply because I've yet to find someone
that isn't selling this cheap and cheerful network card we're using (a
Realtek compatible).

Robert, I've already tried 1 - 3 from the resolution area, aside from actually trying a high quality NIC.

In 4 you refer to a hotfix, but I can't seem to spot what that is from the cause/resolution page.

I doubt that it's the network card. Like I said before, all I did was
reformat the hard drive and it stopped working. It worked fine before I did
that. There has to be a setting somewhere.
