    server share folders empty

    Friday 1/30/2009 all 8 XP pro workstations accessed WIN2000 just fine
    Monday 2/02/20009 1 of the 8 stations could not access the files on the server.

    I don’t know what happened over the weekend. No human touched it and I could find no errors on the system log.

    2. I can access run>\\server\\share....but all the folders are empty !!
    same with My Computer>\\server\\share, I see the folders but no files
    And all this is slow slow slow.

    Sometimes I can see the files, but once I try to open one file, all the files disappear, and all I can see is folders. If I open a folder it appears empty.

    The other seven Workstations work fine.

    I have tried several different restore points….
    I am obviously connecting to the sever because this Workstation can see the most recent documents….it just can open them.. doesn’t matter whether its excel, word, cad… nothing will open and just getting to it is so slow.

    One clue is that when I restart this bad workstation the windows logon is grey for a long time and slow to get to the desktopl
    Any and all help appreciated.

    What browser and OS are you using? Did clearing your cache and cookies resolve the issue? You can quickly clear your cache by refreshing your browser while holding the Shift key. Click share > get the link to share. If you have this option checked your document is shared with "everyone". Hope that helps you out.
