Well, there is something interfering with the network connection between the two. And it doesn't have to be a very long drop for this to happen.

To find the error, consider looking at event logs on both computers for lan driver errors, a router/switch drop, or a bad spot on a network cable. I had a friend give me a wireless router years ago that worked great for a long time, but since day #1 it hated huge transfers (and he warned me about this). It finally gave up one day, and the replacement router never had this issue.

An easier alternative might be to get a 3rd-party program to do your copies, as many of them can handle a pause in communication, and will pick up where there left off once the connection is restored.

This is an older article, but many of these apps are still avialable:
