I have a strange problem with file sharing - I have an XP desktop, an XP
Home Laptop, and 2 Vista machines, 1 running 5600 and 1 running 5728.

The 5600 machine can see all other machines, and the 5728 machine can
see and copy from the 2 XP machines and the D drive of the Vista 5600
machine.

If the Vista 5728 machine tries to copy files from the C drive of the
5600 machine, it loses internet and network connection completely and
can't get connected again unless it reboots.

When this happens, in the router (a netgear WGR614v6) the 5728 machine
shows in attached devices, but the name of the computer is not listed.

As far as I can see, drive C of the 5600 machine is shared, however the
XP computers can't connect to it at all.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Is there a setting
I've missed somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem but only with files on my desktop
If i move the files to the root of C: and then move them to the other
computer it works most of the time

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem on build 5744 RC2. As soon as I try and copy
a file from my Vista machine to another machine or use the other machine to
pull a file from the computer the network dies completely.

It has a valid IP, it get refresh one using DHCP but it cannot ping any
other machine. It cannot access the internet at all. Repairing the
connection doesn't solve the problem, the only solution is to reboot the
computer.

This happens on a Shuttle SN25P which is using an Nforce 4 chipset with an
Nvidia network adapter. The drivers for this are built into Windows Vista.

It's extremely annoying, with it being RC2 there isn't exactly much time
until Vista ships. I'm not sure if it's a Vista problem or a network driver
problem. If I don't copy files then the network works fine with no problems
at all.

What hardware are you other guys running?

Cheers,
James

Thanks for the responses - I have the problem with any part of the hard
drive, not just the desktop.

Both the computers in question are running NForce 4 chipset boards with
NVidia Network adapters, so it sounds like you're on to something
there.

What confuses me is that when both machines were running build 5600
things were fine. We only upgraded the other machine because of a
massive problem with sound card drivers.
