hmm...if its just not showing your drives off line it may be due too the defualt offline file size that windows sets...i think default is 2Gb and im assuming that the network drives come to more than that...so it will not show up or at least syncranise...<br />
<br />
there is an option to cahnge this in XP..im assuming its the same as vista..just may be in a dif location ..sorry :S<br />
<br />
go to :<br />
'my computer' go to tools -&gt; folder options -&gt; offline files...and im sure you can change it there

I have a peer to peer network set up in small business. I have &nbsp;a notebook with a mapped drive to tied to a pc. Both computers are using Windows Vista Home Premium. I cannot get my mapped drives to synchronize or become available offline. Did some research on Windows Syn Center in Vista, but it does not recognize my mapped drives. How can I make my mapped drives available offline and synchronized? Do I have to use a third party application? Thanks for your help in advance.

How to make network drives available offline?

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
