I have a problem where I can't see some files over a network (running mostly WinXP, couple of Win98 machines). The files are all on XP machine, and even when I view them from that machine via \\office\files rather than c:\share docs\files they are not visible.
Apart from the obvious reasons, it also plays havoc with sync software I am trying out as it trys to copy all of these files all over again, taking up lots of time.

Cheers,

Andrew.

373142 2005-07-19 21:09:00 first thing that comes to mind is are the files hidden? In windows explorer go tools / folder options / view / show hidden files and folders.
