DigAlign error message during copy process

Q: We've got some error messages during a table alignment process:
English: Error during file access (Error no. 1; system error no. 121: Error 121: The semaphore timeout period has expired.)
German: Fehler beim Zugriff auf Datei "\\server\share$\1049.040"! (Fehler No. 1; Systemfehler Nr. 121: Das Zeitlimit für die Semaphore wurde erreicht.) 

A: This is caused by a network problem. In most cases there is a conflict between the network adapters and the network switch. You should solve this by checking the AutoSensing mode of the ports of the network adapter and the network switch.
