Im having some really strange problems accessing a Windows 7 share from my mac. I use machine running Win7 as a media server. I have all the media folders shared on the network (ie all the machines mac and win7 are all on the same workgroup). Other Win7 machines see all the files and folders just fine. When I access the shared win7 folders from my mac using smb://[ip address]/[share name] connects just fine. But the contents are incomplete.
Say I have 200 folders with movies in them and 20 movies in the root directory, only 180 folders and 15 movies in the root are visible in finder. And even weirder, the numbers change. At the bottom of the finder window it reads 195 items, xx.x GB available. But after a few minutes the number if items changes. 177 items , 163 items ,181 items it goes up and down and never shows the total number of folders and files.
Ive searched a while for some explanation or workaround, I decided to post the question here and not in a windows forum because other windows machines on my network dont have any issues with the shares. Any help would be much appreciated
