I just setup a wireless network here in the house. It works great except for file sharing. My Win2k system is my desktop and it has a large portion of all my data files on it. My laptop is XP SP2 and is the computer I use most of the time due to convienience. If I boot up both computers at the same time, I can access the Win2k file shares for about 4 minutes, and then neither computer can find the other one. Also, neither computer can ping the other computer's IP address. When physically plugged into a router with CAT 5 cable, my file shares work.
I have a D-Link DI-524 802.11g router, a D-Link 802.11g PCI card in the Win2k desktop, and a Microsoft MN-720 802.11g PCMCIA card in my laptop. I have downloaded the latest drivers for the cards and I am up to date at WindowsUpdate.
Any ideas? I have been thinking for a few months of converting the Win2k machine to XP.. will this help any?
