WinVista file copy network timeout to WinXP for file Outlook.pst 2007

[Sharpy]

Hi All:
Trying to Backup my Outlook 2007 PST file from WinVista Ultimate to WinXP
Home computer.
I can copy it manually via WinVista explorer both ways,
I can copy it manually via WinXP explorer both ways,
Using GoodSync backup software (Excellent software), it will Sync from WinXP
to WinVista but not from WinVista to WinXP.
GoodSync backup software displayed error...

"Error copying file: The specified network name is no longer available.
(error 64)"

When I use GoodSync backup software in WinVista and I boot the WinXP Home
computer into safe mode, it works OK both ways.
I've set permissions for the both computers for the Outlook.pst file to
"Everyone" with "Full Control" (All Users are "Administrators") and Owner of
folder on both computers is "Administrators".
I've reset the profiles on both computers and made new ones.
I've run Scanpst.exe file on both computers ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\SCANPST.EXE")
This used to work like clockwork until recently.
I thought I'd covered everything - What have I missed?

After reading the above, I haven't tried re-installing GoodSync v.7.7.3.3
since I just did an upgrade recently.
Installed previous versions with same result.
Cheers Sharpy

This is not an Outlook issue as you are doing a file copy within Windows;
Outlook isn't even involved in this.
You might want to contact GoodSync support and ask if this is a known issue
to them.

Hi All:
Traced fault to Norton Internet Security 2009
Uninstalled/Re-Installed Norton on both computers fixed problem.
Suspect it was only corrupt on Vista machine.

Hi All:
Same copying problem returned again.
After experimenting I fixed it again by setting Norton Internet Security
2009 with the following changes...
Internet "Settings" / "Email Scan" / "Configure[+]" / "How to increase
protection" / "Scan outgoing messages for suspected worms" / Set to "Ask
me what to do" instead of "Automatically remove (recommended)" - on both
Vista and XP computers.

I reported to Norton how I fixed this problem copying files.
Problem is now back again after just 2 days of faultless copying.
After experimenting I fixed it again by setting Norton Internet Security
2009 with the following changes...
Internet "Settings" / "Intrusion Prevention" / Set to "Off" - on both
Vista and XP computers.

What the hell is going on?
Cheers Sharpy
