XP networking, new files "not found"?

[0roo0roo]

strange thing has happened, whenever i add new video files and such to a shared folder now it can't be played over the network on other pc's. it just claims file not found, even though the directory structure and files can be seen. if i unshare the directory and move the files to a new directory, reshare that directory even if i use the original share name it works again, until i add newer files.

anyone know whats going on?

possibly found a fix, old network adaptor that was physically removed but lingering around hidden mighta been causing trouble.
