Network Shares Issue

[Guest Joe]

The computer is on XPSP2 and is a member of a domain. At random times it will

not open a subdirectory within a network share. This only happens on this

machines and at random times. There are no entries in Event Viewer nor are

any errors returned through Explorer.

 

So here is basically what happens. Say I want to get to R:\My

Dept\Files\Whatever

 

I open R:\My Dept with no issues, but then when I double click on Files,

Explorer will flash to the Files dorectory then go back to the My Dept

directory. I have also tried entering the full path in the address bar and

get the same result. This isn't limited to one directory either, when this

happens it affects all of the network directories. But again, only on this

computer and it is random when it happens.

 

Anyone have an idea on what may cause this?

What is the box that the share is on? Is it a Windows OS?

We used to have that same problem on a NAS box that was running Linux. The

solution turned out to be adding a static entry in WINS. But your situation

is a little different; it's only 1 PC and, it only happens some of the time.

Have you tested to see if it's profile-specific? By either trying it logged

in as a different user or deleting that user's profile and the logging back

in to recreate it?

Also, check the TCPIP properties on the NIC and check the settings on the

WINS tab (under Advanced settings) to make sure it's the same as all other

PC's.
