sorry. can the moderator please move this thread to windows xp networking? thank you.

Okay, I have four WinXP computers hooked up through a 5-port hub. The problem is that one computer (computer A) refuses to receive another computer (computer B)'s shared files. I can see the shared files fine, but if I tried to copy some files from computer B to A, the copy process hangs for some time then I get "Cannot copy: The specified network name is no longer available" error message. Computer B can receive files from computer A. Other computers can send/received files from both A and B, and A and B both can send/receive files from all other computers on the network. So I know it's not a hardware issue. These two are fresh installs, but have been updated fully. I just cannot figure this out. What is the problem here?

okay, I'll try the mouseware. But I never had it in the first place with Win2k. If this doesn't work, I'm getting an usb optical mouse.

I just upgraded from Win2k to WinXP. But ever since the installation, the mouse refuses to work. No movement, no buttons work, nothing. When I had this problem in Win2k, fiddling with via 4in1 drivers fixed the problem. But not with WinXP. I tried various bios versions to no avail. I don't want to do a full re-install. The same problem would occur anyway. I used standard XP drivers, XP via drivers, via's 4in1s, but mouse still doesn't work. Can anybody please help me?
