Solution:
Just ignore the link. All of the features that CMS can do have been rolled into a newer product called Cisco Network Assistant. Download and Run CNA from Cisco's website instead to connect.

Error Copying File: Cannot Copy The specified network name is no longer available

Issue:
Error Copying File: Cannot Copy "filename" The specified network name is no longer available
Environment:
Windows XP client copying to a fileshare in a domain environment
Symptoms:
The failing file was over 1MB. Files under 1MB seemed to copy fine, albeit slowly
Solution:
Replace the faulty switch which was giving my system connectivity to the rest of the network.

Our Linksys SD2008 ver 2.1 switch was to blame. Removal of the cover revealed failed (swelled) capacitors. Apparently, a lot of people have complained about this particular switch, version 2.x. In version 1, there was no problem except for a fan which customers complained was too noisy. Solution? Sell the switch without a fan as version 2 and let it overheat!
