Network Drops Mid-Transfer of Files - Win 7 64 bit
I have been wrestling with this night and day. Here are the specifics of my system:
1) Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Networking Win 7 Ultimate: 6-core, 4-core, Xerox MFP Phaser Printer, Internet)
2) Gigabyte motherboard with on-board LAN
3) D-Link DGL 4100 router - Configured properly with both computers and Printer showing IP's (DCHP) and MAC addresses
A) Printers recognized by both the Quad and the 6-core computers.
B) Internet connected, on and accessible from both computers
C) Cisco NetworkMagic and Win 7 both report Network and Internet Access (lower right corner of screen)
D) Occasionally (key word) both computers are mutually visible to each other - and then suddenly not visible
E) Occasionally directories are visible to/from both computers - and then suddenly not visible
F) File sharing so opened up that a groundhog in the next county could access anything
In an attempt to eliminate variables and re-check everything:
1) Re-did the Workgroup setup procedure per http://windows.microsoft.com/e.....-workgroup (USELESS, COMMON SENSE)
--- Every setting checked and double checked
2) Deleted/Uninstalled MSE - Now only have ESET AV/Firewall
3) D-Link DGL-4100 Gamer Router configured properly.
4) Still have BitTorrent installed and running - just no downloading or seeding at the moment
Note:
A) I am NOT interested in networking to Win XP, Vista, etc. - Only within Win 7 Workgroup
B) No, I will not use HomieGroup - because of its many limitations.
So that's it. No reliable network, file sharing or file transfer possible. Like a bad date, at best it's on again, off again. Help please.
Rant for the day: Why has the ease of networking in Win NT 4.0 been replaced by the convenience of networking in Windows 7?
Thanks,
