...or to be more accurate, 'now you don't see it, now you do... about 15 mins later.' I'm talking about my home network.
Scenario: my computer, my wife's computer and a printer connected by a wired lan via a router.
I can print from my m/c; 'erindoors can print from her m/c.
File & printer sharing enabled on both computers, but most times when she switches on I can't see her m/c on the network... to transfer files etc - neither can she see me.
So, look at Netgear's diags 'what's connected?' page: yes, both machines are there; so is the printer. No surprise there, we can both print.
Wait a bit, and, hey presto, there she is. As I've said, this could be 15 or even 30 minutes later. Perfect communication in both directions.
I've now forgotten what I wanted to do in the first place, but that's another problem
.
Any thoughts, clever chums, how to mitigate or preferably nuke this irritating delay?
Thanks, y'all.
