Hi all!
I have a desktop, a laptop and a wireless-enabled printer connected via a wireless router. The desktop is wired while the rest are wireless. Both PCs can access the Internet and the printer just fine. However, when I try to do file sharing, it's a frustrating affair. Sometimes it's possible and file sharing is seemless. Then randomly, without either computer going to sleep or anything like that, file sharing just dies. I try it again some other time and it works. The wireless router is set to DHCP. Should I try static IP? Much thanks in advance.
