I've never had this problem, but apparently it's common in Windows XP according to a C|Net article.

About 1/6 of my file shares are just all of a sudden missing.

I cleared my ARP table using arp -d * and released/renewd, did some other tasks like remove my file shares and re-add them, etc, etc, but NONE of the missing file shares are visible yet.

If you type in the exact address to a missing share it works. But if you browse from a previous directory, that directory will NOT show the missing fileshare.

Anyone had this problem and know of a fix? This is a tough thing to google since there's so many articles that involve "file" and "windows", etc.

do they show up when you do a NET SHARE from the CMD prompt?

is netBIOS/wins being shitty? possibly on the share side? I just map by ip because I have issues with this myself

i map by ip also.


net share shows all my shares that i have (not subdirectories though, which is the problem)




FIXED IT!

net share SHARENAME /CACHE:None
