WMP11 - Media Sharing

I am sharing media from my desktop computer, which is Windows XP and WMP11,
to my laptop, which is Vista and WMP11, over a wireless network. I can see
the library from the desktop on the laptop and play files, but after 3 or 4
songs, the library disappears and the music stops. It usually happens after
the song is finished. If I shutdown WMP and restart it, the library is up
there again and I can play files, but the same thing happens. This has been
bugging me for a couple days. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Re: WMP11 - Media Sharing


Under WMP's Tools:Options:Library:Monitor Folders menu option, is anything
listed? If that's empty, that's a sign of a particular problem.

Do you get any specific error code?
