I'm networking a laptop and desktop through a Linksys WRT54G wireless
router. The desktop is hardwired to the router while the laptop is
connected via a Linksys WPC54G wireless adapter. Both systems are
running XP Home SP2 with all MS updates and both the router and
adapter have the latest firmware.
Today when I was going to transfer 5 files (all in the same folder)
from the laptop over to the desktop, the desktop could only see 3 of
the 5 files. There were no attributes set on any of the files and
there didn't seem to be any strange characters in the file names of
the two that the desktop could not see. I copied the two files to
another shared folder on the laptop and the desktop still couldn't see
them even though it could see the other files in that folder. I
finally had to move the two files from the laptop to the desktop via
a thumb drive which was suppose to be put out of business because of
the network.
What in the world would cause these two files to be invisible to the
other computer on the network. Is this an XP or Linksys Network
problem?
