Hi all

I am experiencing a strange problem copying files between computers on my home network.

I have a desktop PC running Vista Ultimate and a laptop running Vista Basic. The laptop is connected via wifi to a D-Link G604-T and that in turn via ethernet to the desktop. The desktop and laptop can see eachother, can share internet connection, I can even stream video and ISO files from the desktop to the laptop and vice versa.

What I *can't* do, however, is copy a file from one computer to another over the network. For example if I fire up my laptop, browse to the videos stored on my desktop and 'copy' and 'paste' to a folder on the laptop, a dialogue pops up and says it is calculating the amount of time it will take to copy, however it never seems to start copying. The speed just displays as 0KB/s and just sits there. If I then click 'cancel' it takes it another 30 to 40 seconds to close the 'copy' dialogue box down, telling me it needs to calculate how long that will take, too!!

I am getting very frustrated with this. If I can open and stream files over the network, surely I should be able to copy across it too?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Steve
