Hi Kardon,


since the physical device is gone you can't go to it to remove the share
that way
but,

xp pro:
control panel->administrative tools->computer management->shares
on the right see the shares you defined, right click->stop sharing.

xp home:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040


also try reorienting the wireless router and especially its antenna(s)
even horizontally or angularly

also see the wireless device settings in device manager and
if any posibility of power management putting the wireless to sleep,
disallow that.

changing channel usually helps, lower channel=lower frequency=better
propagation (relatively speaking)
and honest, sometimes neighbor hood/ing devices will knock these out.

1. you dont understand what you are seeing
such as c$ or administrative share, possibly, and you dont want to delete
those,

I originally had 3 Hard Drives in the machine, 1st HDD was C & D, 2nd HDD
was E, 3rd was E & F.....all folders were set using Sharing and Security
to allow all other machines to access the drives.....

I have now removed the physical 3rd drive, so and E & F don't exsist
anymore (on the machine the physical HDD was in) and yet, if I browse the
network (from any other machine) and go to the missus's machine (i.e. from
My Network Places), it still lists them as a Shared Folder, obvsiouly
clicking on them, the machine says I can't access them, which is obvsious
as I don't have the HDD in there now....

I need to know how to stop it listing the drives that aren't there anymore

just an fyi..2.4 ghz is line of sight
since almost anything can deflect or reflect it. it just doesnt carry
well,
because the frequency is to high and does not propigate well,
compared to AM which carries hundreds of miles, for example.
much lower frequency.

I think it could be that issue, Ive got a machine in the furthes part of
the house, I have a laptop in the bedroom (directly above the wifi) and it
doesn't seem to happen, but the other machine dissapears of the list, it
doesn't loose connection as I have mIRC running on that machine and it
never looses connection, that is why I was thinking it was an XP issue....

Even when I 'Refresh' on the list of computers available, and it is not
there, I can still type in the address bar \\computername and it finds it
no problems.....

Again, that is why I thought it was Windows just forgetting about it until
I get it to look again....

Regards
Paul.
