Network drives dropping out
Vista Home Premium PC, "Server", has 2 shared folders. Another Vista Home
Premium and a Vista Home Basic have drives mapped to these 2 shared folders. Everything works OK first thing in the morning but, sometimes within a half hour, sometimes up to 2 hours later, the network drives are no longer accessible. The programs that use these drives suddenly fail as they cannot access the data. If I go to the "Server" Vista Home Premium, I can access the shared folders OK through Computer, C:\filename, but not if I use Network and try to access the drives on "Server". All 3 PCs are Private networks, same workgroup, and are using the standard Vista firewall. I have tried mapping via IP address, rather than netbios name, but it makes no difference. Rebooting "Server" solves the problem for a while, until it reappears. -- Doug
