mac and pc

In my family, we have each a mac and each a tablet pc, and we have used
foldershare to sync and share files among the four very happily for months.
In fact, it's like our lives depend on it.

Then many things happened at once. We each reformatted and reinstalled
Windows on our tablets at the end of September. At that point foldershare
stopped sending anything more than the p2p file from the pcs to the mac (mac
to pc and mac to mac and pc to pc all work). We started in with foldershare
support and just got the suggestion from them to delete and recreate
libraries, which didn't solve the problem.

Meanwhile we upgraded to Leopard, and the foldershare server went down for a
few days at about the same time. Everyone was confused and it took a while to
sort out that leopard is okay with foldershare and everything went back to
normal with the server repair. But we still have this same problem that a pc
to mac transfer results only in the p2p file being placed and a lot of
flashing notes about pending, connecting, listening, etc, that never result
in a transfer. (We can, from the macs, successfully use "access my files" to
get a file from the pcs.)

Since it happened after we reformatted the pcs, probably it's a pc thing.
Anyone have/solve this problem? Any chance there was a security update from
Windows around that time that would have something to do with the problem?

I have the exact same problem. PC to mac does not work. Very frustrating. I
do not want to disable encryption. Wish They could solve this.

Hello,
Thank you for reporting the issue. We are investigating what looks like the
same problem and might have a workaround (provided that your Windows machine
runs XP SP2). I should be able to verify it and report back in 2-3 days.

Thanks,
Marcin (FolderShare team)

This actually works. Amazing.

It's great to do this to catch up...but wouldn't it be a bad idea to leave
encryption off the whole time? How much does this matter?

That would be great! Looking forward to it...thanks!

I have experienced the same problem between my multiple Win XP machines and
my Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 but no problems with Win Vista Home Premium.
Although I agree that I would prefer not to disable encryption (and can't
wait for the Microsoft fix), I am happy to report that disabling both
encryption and compression immediately fixed the problem!

Hi Marcin,

I also have this problem between Windows XP SP2 systems and 2 Mac Leopard
systems. Do you have any update on a better fix than disabling encryption?

Thanks!! Terry

Any word on a fix? I've got the same problem and it's becoming quite
inconvenient.
