DTS Packet Size

I have a dts package that transfers data from a view into
a table structure on another server. Occassionly the
scheduled package will fail with the following error:

Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error.
Check your network documentation. Error source:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help
file: Help context: 0 Error Detail
Records: Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider
Error: 11 (B) Error string: [DBNETLIB]
[ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check
your network documentation. Error source: Microsoft
OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help
context: 0 DTSRun OnFinish: Copy Data from PS...
Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

Once the package fails I will rerun it several times
without any modifications and eventually it will run to
completion successfully. One change that I have made while
troubleshooting is to change the default network package
size from 1 to 1024 or 2048. Although this has worked I'm
not confident that the package wouldn't have run without
that change.

Has anyone seen this error before or anything similar?
