    I have a private network for my business to share files throughout our different computers. Yesterday, it worked just fine as it has for months. However, today we cannot access files on the network from any computer. On my administrator login, when I try to open a network file, I receive the error "A device attached to the system is not functioning". I have double checked my advanced sharing settings and ensured all is still as it should be. I have done a few other online trouble shooting recommendations to no luck. Does anyone know how I may diagnose and fix this problem?Thank you very much i

    :)
