Vista - Unable to send an email with attachment

Whilst trying to send an email with a 3meg attachment via winmail I get a
message half way through

"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes
for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject '', Account: 'mail2.eircom.net', Server:
'mail2.eircom.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F"

I have a land line broadband connection and my internet connection remains
on after this message.
Any ideas would be welcome.

Check with eircom.net to see if they have a limit on attachment size.
The other possibility is interference from a non-compatible antivirus
like McAfee or Norton.
