I'm currently sharing a 500gig media drive on a XP Home SP2 (fresh install, updated, clean) machine over my wireless network to my laptop which, mostly, runs XP Pro (SP3 beta)..but also has Ubuntu 8.04 and Vista Home Premium installed. Normally, I can access the shares in any OS beautitfully...they show up on the network and I've never had an issue getting it to connect. However, the other day I noticed that after stopping media playback...the computer would disappear from the network and I was unable to access the share on any of my installed OSs and it doesn't seem to matter which OS is accessing it...at random times when I stop moving data, the shares disappear. The computer remains connected to the network and it can communicate with other network shares just fine...but it doesn't even show up on the network. Unsharing and resharing the drive doesn't help, I have to reboot the computer to get the shares back, and, after an album, when the last track finishes, the shares disapper.
Why do my network shares in Windows XP randomly disappear?
Could be random noise in the wifi environment. check for competing waps on the same channel and for other devices in the 2.4G part of the spectrum like wireless phones.
Good Luck
