I am just starting to test wireless connectivity with Windows XP laptops, but am having problems with basic file transfers.
We have been using WLANs with Windows 2000 successfully for 2 years now and have not had any issues with this. What is happening with the XP laptop is that I can map a network drive and copy data from the network to my XP laptop. However, when I try to copy data from the XP laptop to the network drive I receive a file copy error message along with the statement "The specified network name is no longer available." If I look on the network drive I can see a file "stub" where the file transfer has started, but this stub contains no useful information as it is an incomplete file.
If I perform the same exercise but using a "wired" Ethernet connection with the XP laptop it works fine and I can transfer data to/from the network drive.
I am not losing network connectivity at any point, which is proved by checking the Access Point logs and by performing a continual PING in the background - also I am still able to access the network drive after the file transfer has failed. I have tried the drivers that come with XP and also the latest drivers available from the Cisco Web site (350-Windows-XP-Bundle-2), but this does not resolve the issue.
Has anyone else had simillar problems or does anyone have any ideas ?
Many thanks.
