when i copy a file to a networked computer in windows 7 from another windows 7 computer my raspberry pi stops seeing the windows computer, a restart of the computer enables the pi to see the networked computer again. I had the same problem with a similar setup but the media player was a cyclone live, I have got a new computer and still have the same problem, the computer that I use to store media is visible to other windows computers but not the pi until I restart the windows computer.
Please help as this is an annoying problem.
Thanks
Michael

Re: Loosing connection to windows 7 network
How are you copying files between the machines? Or are you really streaming media files? My preferred method to transfer files between a Windows box and a Pi is basic (secure) ftp using a cross-platform client such as FileZilla (there are others). Can the Pi still ping the Windows box - if by "not seeing" you mean it can't, then there is a network connection issue which is different (maybe hardware related) to "file copying".

Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
