Peer to peer with vista home
I am having trouble with file sharing on vista home premium. I have a seconf
drive that is set up to serve files to a small network with some vista and some xp machines attached. File sharing works fine most of the time, but occasionally, the shared files become unavailable to the network for no apparent reason. Most of the time I can resolve the problem by rebooting the machine that is sharing the files. Any suggestions? Bruce

How many computers on your small network? Windows XP Home, and I'll bet Vista Home, have a 5 connection limit, and that doesn't always mean only 5 other computers. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/07/server-availability-affected-by.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...fected-by.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Chuck,
yes, All of the connections drop out at the same time. I have 6 compuers connected including the one that is hosting the files using either vista home premium or xp pro.

Bruce Bruce, If all computers are losing connectivity simultaneously, is the server still up when this happens? Check the power settings for the network adapter, and make sure that it's not allowed to power down when idle. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/does-your-computer-lose-network.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...e-network.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
