We have a Buffalo Linkstation connected to our network (Ethernet, DSL
router, no Domain or server). I have a mapped drive (z to my share on the
Linkstation drive. Until a few days ago all worked fine. Now I can see the
drive and can copy files from it to my hard drive, but I cannot copy files
from my hard drive to the Linkstation. I get an "Access denied" message
telling me to be sure the drive is not full or write-protected. (It is not.)
All other computers are still working fine with the Linkstation. Only mine
is locked out. We have no access restrictions or passwords on the shares on
the Linkstations.
I have Win XP Pro SP2 (the others are XP Home SP2). I have disabled both
Norton Antivirus and Norton Personal Firewall to confirm they are not the
problem. I have opened command windows and tried to copy directly ("copy
c:\test.txt z:\") but get the same Access denied message.
I can copy, change, and delete files to/from the other computers on the
network through My Network Places, but I cannot copy to the Linkstation
(whether through the mapped drive or through My Network Places).
Linkstation technical support cannot help because the Linkstation is working
properly.
Does anyone have an idea what is wrong? Thanks very much,
Gene
