Can't transfer files between computers
I've got two machines running Win'XP and sharing mutual access via a
wireless router. I've transferred files between them apparently without problems. However I find that when I attempt to traansfer a certain directory I receive the terminal message: "Cannot copy sigs: The specified network is no longer available." Neither machine has an antivirus program running on it. The error occurs some several minutes after the beginning of the transfer. "sigs" is a file located about six level deep in the structure of the transferred directory. Whats going on? What should I do to deal with the problem?

Can't transfer files between computers
I got rid of the layers of directories by transferring file "sigs.dat"
directly. But still the same error message. Don J ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "chusome" wrote in message ups.com...

Don J ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If I understand what you did, that won't avoid the problem. To bypass the layers of dirs, copy that file from wherever it is on the source disk to a root (or near-root) dir on the source disk (i.e., C:\sigs.dat), then copy that copy to a root dir on the target disk (i.e., another C:\sigs.dat), then log onto the target PC and copy that C:\sigs.dat to wherever you want it, then delete the two temporary copies on the root dirs. -- Cheers, Bob |

Can't transfer files between computers
Does not work.
Placing the directory that I want to transfer into a root directory and then attempting to move it to another root directory on the target machine results in the error message: "Cannot copy sigs: The specified network is no longer available." Several hundred files were transferred before the message was received. Attempted to move the file from root directory to root directory by itself. Same result. Renamed file and extension, and attempted to move it. Same result! Screwed around for a long time. Finally got the file moved over to the target machine. (I don't know what I did) Then went to the target computer and moved the file to it's proper place in the directory tree. -- Don J ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Bob Willard" wrote in message ...

Your network is hosed for some reason. Jim |
