This Windows error, most commonly received during network data copy, seems to be caused by the underlying network connection dropping, often for just a fraction of a second, sometimes more permanently.
Apparently, a common culprit is having a a duplex mismatch between networking ends: full duplex on one and and half on the other, particularly on direct network card-to-card connections where these settings can be forced, but also when the network card or switch is just dumb about autodetection.
Other possibilities seem to include:
- bad drivers,
- a bad hub/switch, (e.g. a cheap one that freezes up sometimes)
- bad wireless connections,
- a damaged cable
