OSX network share question
I’m having some trouble with a Macbook that I use as my primary computer. I also have a Windows XP machine that I use to share my gigs of music, photos, and other files.
I use iTunes to listen to music on the server over a Windows file share. When I’m using an ethernet connection to the network, I can listen to the music for hours without a problem.
But whenever I’m using a wireless connection, the share drops out after about two minutes on the Mac. I can manually click a song to reestablish the connection, and it works for another two or three minutes before crapping out again.
Is there any way to force OSX to keep a share open permanently when connected to a wireless network?

Sounds like your have issues with your wireless. Maybe somekind of interference. :/

Hmm, I hadn’t considered a bad wifi connection since it happens so regularly.
Could it be dropping just slightly enough to break the shares but not throw a warning message from the wireless manager?

I have had some issues with the mac staying on the network at home myself. I found that if I gave my mac a static IP instead of using DHCP that it never dropped again. Just last week at work, my mac IT person mentioned that macs are much more stable on the network with static instead of dynamic IPs as well which confirmed my home network issues. Good luck.
