The specified network name is no longer available

The specified network name is no longer available I'm trying to transfer files from my windows 7 machine to my self built windows home server (old dell 4550). The WHS is the default install except Whiis add-on is installed. I also installed and uninstalled firefly media server add-on, and added two external usb 2.0 hard drives

"It might be useful to keep a 'ping' running between the machines when you try this out.
If there is a network path problem, ping will show a glitch,
else, you need to start looking at the server machine hardware.

This will keep running at one probe per second till you stop it.

ping -t server

since this is local network, the 'time' should also remain constant;
a varying response time also implies network trouble"
