File Sharing problems/computers not finding eachother
Hello all, I've searched around trying to find a solution to my problem however I havnt found anything.
I have two computers both wirelessly connected via a Linksys WAG160N, one is a desktop, the other is a laptop.. Ultimately the desktop is pretty much a server with HDD storage/printer etc..
Now when I restart my computers/delete my adapters and let them reinstall I can usually connect my computers to one another and share files, however thats really about the only way to do it.. if I leave my computers on for 4 hours and come back they usually will lose connection..
What have I done/tried:
disabled ipv6
reset router
formatting
joining homegroup
wired/wireless connections
This problem is VERY frustrating, I just want to do simple file sharing and its turning out to be quite a problem.. ALSO when I do see my desktop from my laptop I cant access the hard drive I shared, only folders ive shared inside it.. I want to be able to share the HDD as a whole.. I've added access to everyone with full control, but it still doesnt work.
Please help, I would like to use my desktop as a server for my laptop/xbox but its turning out to be quite annoying..
