Trying to share a folder on a Win2k Professional workstation with other workstations running Windows 98 and Win2k.
Sharing works great on the LAN, but when trying to access files across the wireless WAN after a long pause the following error pops up: "This device does not exist on the network. Reading drive Q" (drive is mapped as Q). I can work with very small files, but anything over 1k or so yields the error. Can access Novell drive(F:) over WAN without a problem(but slow which is expected). Any suggestions? Thanks
 
Do the machines on the wireless network have the network DHCP set to distribute DNS server addresses?
Also, can you see the computers from a wireless connected PC in Network Neighbourhood/My Network places?
