Shares lost on network connection.
I have followed this thoroughly:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx On my Vista laptop: I have file sharing on, no password required. I go to the folder I want to share, right click, go to share and share with everyone(co-owner). I have looked at the security tab and see that everyone has all rights. I can now use this share with my XP desktop. Everything is fine. \\laptop shows the laptop shared folder on the desktop. \\desktop shows the desktop shared folder on the laptop. Files are going both ways fine. Everything is fine until I reboot the laptop. The laptop shared folder is no longer shared. I've tried this with the Vista Public Folders and get the same result. Something is destroying the share when the laptop connects to the network. It is an Acer Aspire 5610. The software that connects to the network is called "acer enet management". The second that the connection is made is exactly when the share disappears. I've watched the shared icon disappear. As for firewalls on the laptop the problem may be related to zonealarm which I've since removed, although it still resides in the startup list, but disabled. I am using the MS firewall. Results are the same with the firewall on or off. UAC is on. Hopefully someone has a suggestion. I've been surfing the web and trying everything for 2 days now. Time I'll never get back. Thanks.

Never mind! I just figured it out. There is a share folders option within the
Acer inet manager. Who knew? "va3zc" wrote: I have followed this thoroughly: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx On my Vista laptop: I have file sharing on, no password required.
