[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 370073, member: 25562"] Hi all, I hope this isn't too far off-topic, but I've got a couple of network issues that have been bugging me for a while. Actually one oldie and one brand new issue. First issue is this: I've got my HTPC (XP) set up to share throughout the house for streaming etc. I also like to move files from my laptop (Windows 7) or do basic MP maintenance from the bedroom from time to time. The problem is that the Application Data folder and all of its sub-folders on my HTPC don't seem to allow any LAN access. I have all the permissions set correctly (In fact the entire C drive should be set for full permissions), and I have even gone in to the individual folders and set them as "shared" manually, but no joy. This is relevant to MP since Application Data is where all the cache, thumb, logo, etc files live. I've been trying to tweak my TV logos lately and this issue makes it a bit of a pain. btw - I also have this issue when using an XP laptop. Second issue (may be a Windows 7 bug): Since I installed Win 7, I have not been able to drag and drop files from my laptop onto the HTPC (XP) through the Network explorer window. If I copy the files on the laptop then paste into the HTPC network explorer window, everything works fine. But the simple drag and drop results in a "you need permission to do that" message. I skipped Vista and went straight from XP to 7, so maybe this is something I was supposed to learn about with Vista? Neither of these issues is critical, but they both cause minor headaches. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
