Something that I just noticed here on our home network, no idea how long it's been this way so have no way of knowing what might have caused this. The particulars:

The LAN network here consists of three systems, primarily... all running WinXP, 2 are Pro the 3rd has Home. They run through an SMC router on their way to the 'net or the internal LAN. The LAN side uses IPX ... simple shares ... so.

The problem machine is my XP Pro system. And here's the problem, I have a folder shared with subfolders within. All shares well, but several of the sub-folders do not show the contents, or all of the contents. Same thing exists when attempting to view from either of the other machines on the network. And it's not exclusive to this particular folder nor filetypes.... hummmm.
So, I take the folder in question and from my machine I copy it over to one of the other machines and it's fine and happy, all files within the subs show up. Joy.
Now if I also go into the shared folder and specifically share one of the subs then the contents will show on the other systems... but that should not be necessary...........

So, file sharing works fine all the way around unless it's a folder on my machine. Then it displays fine and dandy but some files are missing, but they should be there. It's not folder specific nor files type specific.

Pretty much stumped here on this one ... Any help would be appreciated... thx
