Vista - Foldershare won't sync 3 PCs unless they're all switched on

OK, I've just added a 3rd PC to my Foldershare and now the sync isn't working
as I'd expect it to...

My setup:
PC 1 - desktop PC switched on permanently
PC 2 - Laptop
PC 3 - Netbook

This is my problem:
PC 3 is switched off. I create a new file on PC 2, save it and it syncs
with PC 1. I then switch off PC 2. I then switch on PC 3. I would expect
it to sync with PC 1 and bring across the new file. However, in the activity
window I just see the message 'Added by PC 2', it doesn't sync anything
though. The only way to sync the file to PC 3 is to switch on PC 2. This
seems to defeat the object of Foldershare or am I missing something....

Thanks in advance.

Hi Phil,

I have a similar arrangement to the one you describe, but in my case "PC 2"
is a machine running WHS. It all works very well...assuming that the
foldershare severs are up and running. Quite an assumption these days.


Are you are leaving sufficient time for the for the synchronisation to take
place and have you got the library set to Automatic synchronization?

Regards.
