    hi all was wondering if anyone has some idea where i go from here, i have a laptop and a pc which i use as a server, laptop is wireless and pc is wired into a netgear d834g v2 wireless router. i have the hard disk in the pc set up into 3 partitions all shared, i have then added them as network drives on the laptops and can see the files on all 3 partitions and send files to the disks however when i try to copy from the pc the files start copying but then get halfway through and just stall, then after ten minutes or so it says "the network name is no longer available" but it is cause i can still see and read the files on the drives, now heres where it gets strange, if i use a cable connection to my laptop rather than wireless it works fine.

    any ideas everyone im flummoxed

    ta in advance
