Hello, I use a redundant 1TB HDD drive L:\ in a USB caddy as a backup drive on computer //BB Second computer //AA sees the drive on the local net but no way will it allow access to either the whole drive or to shared folders on it. A flash drive, also on \\BB with the same settings, can be accessed as a whole drive by \\AA. File & Printer Sharing is on, network passwords are off. Why the difficulty with the HDD when the flash drive can be accessed, and how to get round the problem ? Both machines are Windows 10 64-bit. v10.0.18363 Build 18363 Regards Cheemag

My internet is glitching and after a quick test using pingtest.net via IE9 it says the test has failed due to packet loss, but everything else passed. Tried multiple servers and Firefox 3 - same result. Uninstalled IE9 & rolled back to 8, but still same. Only had this prob for a few days now - since installing IE9 ??? Ominous or what?! Problems are: Buffering videos between 5-10 mins long can take up to an hour Downloading a picture took over a minute Webpage loading often times out - especially if httpS Kicked from online games (BF2 series, COD series) as ping is anywhere from 30 to 300+++ (up and down all the time) Just terribly slow in frequent glitches despite having 4.5 Meg Broadband and an initial ping of 33! (speedtest.net) Have removed all telephones from sockets, removed all ADSL filters & plugged router directly into phoneline socket. Can ping router OK 2-3ms no prob so LAN is OK (via PowerLine/Homeplugs) Running W7-64 on a Q6600 What else should I do? Thanks!

Hi, To anyone who can help, Yesterday i tried to get an internet connection at an airport, as i was waiting to connect my flight was boarding so i closed down my laptop and boarded. Today i get home and switched my laptop on, i realised i wasnt automatically connected to my wireless internet, i tried connecting manually and all was happening was a blank window appearring after a few minutes. I plugged my CAT5 cable in and still no internet. I then thought i had somehow recieved a virus so i tried running Windows One Care, it said it was switched off or not working, i tried to run it so i could switch it on but it just wouldnt start at all. I then went to MSCONFIG and just looked around as i didnt really know what i was doing, i noticed in the 'Services' tab that about 98% of the services had been 'stopped' most were Microsoft Windows Services. I then tried to do a 'System Restore' however nothing at all happens, i tried again and a window popped up which said 'restore is already running' i left it running and still nothing happened, I tried this a couple of times after re-booting the laptop. I have gone into safe mode and it allowed me to do a system restore from there but it has not solved the problem. I am running Vista Home Premium and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance, John.
