Hi I have setup a smb share i windows server 2012, at first the share will work fine I can see it from any PC transfer to it and everything, but for some very strange reason after about 2 days or so the share will not show up anymore, to get it back I sometimes have to delete the share and re share it. any help in this guys it is getting really frustrating

Hi thanks for your reply I am sharing it on my home network, the server I am sharing it from has a static ip from my router, the way I share it is by going to server manager and shares or I also did it from the computer management but still shows up for some time than goes away

It disappears from the client computers and also when I go to the network in the server it does not show also, when I go to server manager it still shows as shared
