Hi, was wondering if someone know the solution to this problem

A few weeks ago I set up a shared folder for my father-in-law to shared files between his vista home basic laptop and his xp destop (the shared folder is on the laptop)

It has all been working fine until 2 days ago, now when he creates a new file on the laptop and puts it in the shared folder it doesnt show on the desktop, altho all the old files do.

I got him to un-share the folder and then re-share it but still no joy

does anyone have any ideas??
 
Check permissions
Check file + print sharing enabled
Check windows firewall
Check network association (by this I mean "Home/Public/Work"

Go from there....
