Vista "Not Responding" with File sharing
I've got an Acer laptop running Vista home Premium. On my network I have three PC's total. 2 XP machines (Wired) and the Acer Laptop(Wireless) My cable modem runs into my (slightly old) Linksys WRT54g router with wireless and handles the DHCP. I'm having frustrating troubles with Vista reading files over the network. The two XP machines can share files without flaw. The Vista Laptop can usually browse the shared directories, but sometimes goes into the \"Not Responding\" state while I'm browsing to the directory I am trying to get to. When I try to access a shared file (anything over 10K) it goes into the same \"Not Responding\" state. Sometimes is comes out of that state and sometimes it askes to end itself. Thinking it was how XP was configured I read articles on how to turn on filesharing with simple passwords and tried configuring my XP machines as such. I still got the same \"Not Responding\" when trying to access files thru the Vista Latop. To remove the XP variable out of the equation, I tried using a NAS. I purchased an HP Media vault with 500GB storage, nice little box and easy to configure. But when I accessed the network drive with the Vista Laptop, I got the same \"Not Responding\" scenario again. What I haven't tried is turning off the wireless and plugging it directly into the WIRED cat5 connection to see if that the culprit. Wondering if it could be the wireless card in the laptop. It an Atheros 5007EG chipset. I've heard of problems similar to this on other blogs. Any thoughts? Danuuc -- danuuc Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Vista "Not Responding" with File sharing
I think we have the same problem.
I have a PC with vista business and i work in a shared folder from another computer in our network. I can see the files but when a try to modify it the sotware freezes (dreamweaver 8 or cs3). When i use de windows explores the same happens. I have all permissions (total control) but i cant use the shared files anymore. In XP we dons thave any problem. Now i tryng to use the offline folder (only businnes or up version) but a relise that its very slow. Any help?
