i can share files with a windows computer with my Windows File Sharing turned on and everything works fine except if the connection is suddenly lost (the windows computer restarts) then the shared folder in the finder comes out as a folder icon and not a network folder icon and when i click it the folder is empty...restarting both the mac and the pc will still result in the blank folder...i then have to cut and paste all the files in that folder on the pc to another shared folder...any suggestions?
