Does your Mac happen to be on a straight AppleTalk network (no Ethernet
or Token Ring?)  Due to the limited speed of AppleTalk, we have
seen TCP/IP timeouts when doing large incrementals, particularly when
backing up multiple AppleTalk Macs at the same time.

You can try increading the comm timeout parameter on the server.
This would tell the server to wait longer before timing out the TCP
session.
