    Network drives, pcs and laptops gone


    i have a home network consisting of 2 laptops and a PC
    there is a drive on the PC that i use constantly from any of the computers so i shared it and then mapped it.


    yesterday i also mapped my documents from the pc to my main laptop since then i havent been able to connect to the PC or the other laptop and the pc hasnt seen me either

    is there a quick way to fix this?

    PS i have been using Command Prompt to shut down the PC remotly when im finished using

    shutdown -m \\(pc name) -s -c "Im shutting down now" -t 30

    thanks


    the pc runs 7 ultimate X64
    main laptop triple boots 7 ultimate X86, XP Home, Ubuntu 10.10
    other laptop runs 7 ultimate X86

    Try doing a system restore to a point before you shared my documents.

    I am really retarded I didn't have much space at one point so I turned off system restore and when I got space back I forgot to turn it of.

    I'm not sure if it is Windows 7 that is the problem because I cant get the XP boot to find the pc either

    just checked when the pc and both laptops are running they can not see each other
    except rarely the pc can see one of the laptops but cannot connect but when i click diagnose it can not find it

    All the diffrent windows have different names
    PC: paul-pc
    Laptop: Family-Laptop
    My laptop: Windows 7:AOA150
    XP:AcerAspireOne
    Ubuntu:ubuntu

    Sounds like theres a wireles problem. Try switching your router off, wait 20 secs then switch it back on and then see if the problems have gone.
