Viewing network share over wifi freezes laptop
Hi,
This is a strange one. I have an Acer netbook, Win7 Starter, which will access the internet fine, and which will view share folders on the LAN fine. But if I open up a share folder and view its contents in explorer, the machine will freeze within ten seconds.
Using ethernet, there is no problem.
I've updated drivers. Acer only had version 14, but the Intel site had version 16. This is an Intel N 100 wifi card.
I also swapped cards from another same model Acer, with no change.
The card's settings seem fine. File sharing is turned on on both machines. I'm not even framing the why's of this problem very well at this point.
