Hi all,

Just bought my first Mac of any kind - an older Macbook pro.

So far, loving Snow Leopard, and learning lots about OS X

Question for you - I managed to connect to a shared folder on my Windows 7 machine easy enough, and it works fine for a while, as I copy files from/to the Macbook.

But every time, a few minutes into the transferring, it loses connection.
But, I can't then re-connect to the W7 machine? No prompt for username/password etc, just says it can't connect.

Only way to restore connection is to restart both machines, and then reconnect via smb.

Any thoughts?
I've tried wired and wireless methods
 
PC isn't going to sleep, checked all the power settings, thank you
Will restart all and try a ping
