I have a friend whom I just set up s network for. He runs a cafeteria business and has 5 machines that are all windows 7.
It was quite an upgrade since he was previously using windows 98 and quickbooks 98. Now he has windows 7 and quickbooks 2010 with 3 printers that are shared off of machines. All machines are connected wired via a central 10/100 hub.
I got all of the machines to see each other and print. The issue is with file access. One of the machines is a "server" or at least a place where other machines can access data. The employees at the cafeteria access the central shared folder stored there to get recipes and such. The day I set it up we went to each machine and accessed the share, edited a file and saved without issue. Now he is telling me that 2 of the machines can't do this any longer but one can. Also, he says that the machines that can't don't let go of the file once closed and he has to reboot the server to allow access to the files again. Did I miss something?
