ubuntu-12.04

I am a beginner with servers. I checked the error logs for Samba and it appears that Samba is timing out when I transfer large files. I can successfully add pdfs for instance to my file server. However, I tried to add a large 1.2gb video file and it did not succeed. This is the error in the log:

smbd/process.c:244(read_packet_remainder)
read_fd_with_timeout failed for client 0.0.0.0 read error = NT_STATUS_CONNECT$

Is there a way I can stop it from timing out? Any pointers would be great! Thanks!
