I'm playing with new laptop and using the wireless network to share with old desktop to move favorites, etc to new PC.
Problem related to NOT remapping after reboot, or if I go away for an hour ( power settings on both = always on ). I mapped a folder on each to the other and can copy/move data back and forth fine. Until the laptop reboots - then same thing. I never had this problem in a wired environment - this is my first time mapping
using a wireless pc. Normal ? They are both in the same wrt54g router and I mapped like so:
\\desktop\oldfolder and
\\laptop\newfolder
whether I 'map as a drive' or share the folder - same thing after reboot. They APPEAR in My network places but fail to open. Not sure of time stamp in relaton to the problem, but Event log only shows event ID 8021
When they cannot "see each other" in windows explorer, if I go to DOS
and
net use j: \\laptop\newfolder or \\x.y.z.ipaddress\newfolder
or
net use m: \\desktop\oldfolder on the laptop
that works fine in dos - can do a dir of m: OK, but even then if I go to windows explorer - still
shows old info as "unreachable".
I'm guessing that there's something about wireless connectivity and I've googled but can't find out why. I do have security set on router , but since I don't get prompted for any info I'm assuming that has nothing to do with this.
Later I'll use a wire ( done for now) but anyone have any insight ?
Thanks
Bobb
