Ok .. I have 2 computers, Win 7 Home Edition and Win 8.1 Simple.
They are pretty standard .. with a router in between them. (both computers are trusted on the router .. by their mac address and there are no settings restricting anything between the two).
But the issue is that the Windows 8 pc is slow to connect to the Windows 7 pc. I want to transfer files from Win 8 to Win 7 pc .. and almost never the reverse.
It is SLOW to detect the other pc on the network. That is weird to me as is should be fast fast fast .. ?
I always get .. this, but it is a valid network location.
Guess I cannot paste in my error ... but it says
"The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Win7-Etrunk.lnk' refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again."
I only want to transfer normally 1 file .. about 300 kb. So it should be super fast right, cause that is not a big thing I am asking it to do.
The thing is not really the file .. but more the ability for the Windows 8 pc to see the Win 7 pc.
What can I do to test where the bottleneck is ?
I am reasonable capable but I do not know much about networking .. however the directory I want to copy into is shared and works.
Just the actual connection seems really really slow ..
Any help would be appreciated.
