Vista Business Crashing

[Raghav]

Hi Friends,

I have a small home network,

Vista Laptop -----> D-Link Ethernet Router <-------- XP Home SP2
Laptop

On the XP laptop, there is a Western Digital External Hard disk, which
I have shared through the home network.

The problems I face,

The network connection between the home PCs is very intermittent.. It
works, and then it doesn't ... No idea why it stops. But once I do a
ping -a to the xp laptop, the connections are restored.

When I can access the shared drives, copying of files to and fro works
fine.. but slow..

However, When I tried to run a program (residing on shared drives),
Vista treats me with the blue screen... a crash...

Please help...


regards
raghav..

This error sounds like the network adapter driver in your computer isn't
compatible. Are you using a vendor supplied or a default Microsoft provided
one? You should test a different driver and see if you are still having the
same errors. What type of NIC do you have?
