I have been doing some work from XP, with OOo (2.3) getting its files
off drive H:, a network drive (served by samba 3.0.25a on freebsd 6.2
as it happens). Normally, no problem.
However there's obviously an XP oddity, in that if XP hibernates and is
woken up again, the network drives are quite often left disconnected.
That means that drive H: (in my case) doesn't appear in any of the
'save' menus (anywhere, not just in OOo). More annoyingly, if I then
try to just 'save' the file I've been working on when hibernation
occured, that save fails (some vague, general i/o error; the exact
wording is probably not material). However, a 'save as' and explicitly
giving the drive letter in the filename box 'wakes up' the network
drive, so to speak, and it will then save successfully.
It's an irritation with a workaround, and clearly not an OOo problem as
such; I'm surprised others haven't mentioned it (maybe not many folk
use both network drives /and/ hibernation?????) but the problems
another poster is having with saving to a USB stick made me wonder if
there was a common root concerning what is essentially a removable
drive. Just thought I'd mention it.....
I'll get a similar problem with Win2K Pro running on VirtualBox with F7
as the host OS. If I hibernate the current session through VBox verses
the shutdown through M$ control and then later rebooting. My network
shares disappear when I resume from hibernate. I'm not sure if it's a
VBox issue as it is done under their control or a M$ issue.
