Hello, sorry if this is on another tread.

PC1 Vista Ultimate, main PC for file sharing

PC2 Vista Ultimate, "sees" PC1, can access shared folders on PC1

PC3 Mac running OSX, "sees" PC1, can access shared folders on PC1

As soon as any shared file (not folder) is accessed on PC1 from PC2 or PC3, PC1 freezes and needs to be restarted. All PC's show up on each others network maps. If a file on PC1 is opened, copied, or a file is sent to PC1, it freezes.

This happens with or without firewall running.

My setup intention is to have PC1 hosting all the shared files and PC2 and PC3 can grab files off PC1 as well as put files on PC1. This is my first attempt at networking so bear with me. I have all computers talking to each other, just PC1 freezes during and shared file attempt.

Would appreciate any help!

Hi, uknowwhatisell, and welcome to the forums.

Do yo have any antimalware (not firewall, like antivirus, antispam, etc) product running with real time protection enabled that is scanning incoming connections and / or scanning files as they are accessed?

Johngalt,
Sorry for the delay (holidays!)
Windows Defender is currently the only antivirus/malware type program installed on both PC's. It is not running in "real-time" or whatever.

I had issues with my permissions, no freezing, but those permissions are always fun...

Try right clicking one of the folders -> Sharing Tab -> advanced sharing -> permissions. Make sure all have full control, and maybe try adding the specific user names that will be accessing PC1 and giving them all full control (even though "everyone" already has full control) Play with those if you haven't already...

Are you using passwords on all your computers? I am not and I find it much less sharing headaches...
