Hi all,
The longer I have my MacBook Pro, the more unreliable file sharing with Windows becomes. It's at the point now where it doesn't work at all.
I'm trying to share files with my existing PC running Windows XP. MBP is on wireless connection through Linksys router.
When opening Macintosh HD, I can see the name of my XP machine and I can view the files on the XP machine but I can't transfer files...although this USED to work. When I attempt a transfer, it appears to start but just hangs, or, it transfers only parts of files very SLOWLY. I've restarted both machines numerous times and still nothing. Occasionally when attempting to open my XP machine, I will receive a 'connection failed' message.
I have Internet access via wireless (so wireless is ok), I've verified that my shared folders are active in Windows and I've made sure that both workgroup names are the same.
I'm at my wits end and very frustrated. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Bryan.
