windows intermittently loses shared drives
« on: October 27, 2007, 04:39:06 AM »
Hi,

Bit of a windows networking problem. I have a laptop connected wirelessly and a server box that shares drives on the network. The laptop connects through a linksys router. Both machines are running XP and are up to date with updates.

The problem is that the shared drives become unavailable as does the server machine in network neighbourhood. While the network drives are unavailable I can still access the internet. I can see the shared drives again by changing the windows workgroup and rebooting but obviously this isnt ideal ;-)

Any Ideas?
