"the specified network name is no longer available"

[footman]

Im getting this message when copying a recorded TV programme(win media centre HTPC) across my network (wirelessly) to my main pc for conversion to ipod format.

The annoying thing is that it doesnt happen every time I try to do this type of transfer. Googling has led me nowhere conclusive. Any ideas gratefully received.

thanks for the replies.

The status of the signal is that the speed is 108Mbps but the signal strength is very low. I've often wondered at the significance of this. I suppose this very weak signal is more liable to drop out completely then?

Ive got a home plug networking kit lying around. I'll give it a whirl to see if I get a stronger(but slower) signal.

cheers

Using the homeplug kit seems to be the answer, but I may well try doing the transfer from the wireless pc just for the hell of it!
