Hope you can help with this one, it's killing me...
I have the Media Center Edition of XP which is connected to my wireless router. As it is only connected to the TV and not used for internet browsing, I wanted to transfer files that I download from my Mac to it.
So, I set up a home network in XP and enabled the folder sharing on the My Documents folder and called it 'My Documents'. I then got the IP address assigned by my Belkin 54g router.
Then I started the personal file sharing and windows file sharing on the Mac. I was then able to connect to the windows box by command K in the finder and typing in smb://192.168.2.5/My Documents.
It then connects and I can see the remote files.......but, as soon as I try to click on a folder I get a 'server connection interrupted' message, but only when I try and click on something.
So I then went to the windows box and opened up the Mac in the network and I was able to see the remote Mac folders and transfer files across, but only after I tried several different home network configurations from the wizard.
Also, I can connect to the Windows box using VNC and get a solid connection to it all the while I'm getting server disconnects.
Anyone got any ideas as to why the Mac is hanging once connected, I am at a total loss...Thanks.
