accessing LAN from PPC with activesync

Hallo,
I've searched for a long time in the forum and in Internet but I was not able to find how to access a shared folder on my :shock: LAN. It seems I have to use pass-through connections but I'm not able to make it work. Every time I use pocket file explorer to open a shared folder (writing the complete UNC) I receive the message "the network path was not found" and then "network resource cannot be found .....".
My LAN is a 192.168.1.X network and I've seen that IP assigned to the PPC is 192.168.55.101
Thank for every help.
Rudy

I'm not sure.
But have you tried localhost????

I've tried from pocket file explorer both \\localhost and \\127.0.0.1 but I've received always the same messages.

Tryed Pocket LAN yet?

It works
I have been trying to do this for months and pocket Lan works perfectly

There is a freeware network utility, named vxUtil.
Maybe this tool help you to solve the problem.
Utilities include:
DNS Audit
DNS Lookup
Finger
Get HTML
Info
IP Subnet Calculator
Password Generator
Ping
Ping Sweep
Port Scanner
Quote
Time Service
Trace Route
Wake On LAN
Whois
vxUtil (Personal) operates on all Windows CE-based Handheld, Handheld Pro, Palm-size and Pocket PCs and requires Windows CE 2.0 (or later).

I've truid both pocket lan and vxUtil with no results. I can't ping the laptop. I think I could never ping it if the network segment of PPC and laptop are different. Laptop ip now is 10.0.0.8 and PPC always 192.168.55.101. Perhaps I should enabled a proxy on the PPC to route the ping.

do you have a personal firewall installed on laptop? try to disable and check

I have no firewall installed or active.
I was successfull in accessing the LAN using the software "pocket LAN CE", but this is obvious thus it installs a server software that stays resident in the tray bar of the deskop PC.
There must be a solution to access the LAN using only active sync!

As far as I know that's not possible without a LAN card.
The passthrough which is available via activesync works only for internet connections.
I might be wrong. Keep looking. Have done it for a long time an gave it up.
If you find a solution feel free to share at this forum.

How about LAN over Bluetooth?

LAN over bluetooth
And how do we accomplish this with the XDA II while the XDA II has no profile for LAN over bluetooth.
Please share the info you've.
Because this is interesting to me too!

For me too I'm also trying bluetooth over XDA but aint working yet

:?
I have installed bluetoothGPS.zip file (found in this forum) and then I installed the Bluesoleil Bluetooth Software for the PC (evaluation version). I could get an IP for the PPC and see the LAN but Internet wasn't working. Anyway having the two Bluetooth Stacks at the same time on the PPC is not a good alternative...
So please:
-MS give us some more Bluetooth Profiles, cm on, you can doit!
- Tobias and Pocket Bluetooth Tools: Please finish the LAN profile, I already donated you :wink:
Cheers

Make sure that a "guest" account is enable on your server, and try protocals other than tcp/ip. Ipx/Spx is fair. I suppose I should ask first if the activesinc laptop is able to browse the target folder? If it can, then try mapping the share as a network drive on the laptop, and see if you can nav to it using activesinc??? I'm a newbie, and don't even have my MDA I yet (in about 2 hours, I will). I will definantly be trying lots of unorthodox crap, so I'll let you know if I get it to work! Good luck.

WiFi file sharing help needed.

I’m looking for help networking my O2 XDA IIs with my Windows XP Pro Desktop via a Wireless ADSL router and the XDA File Browser software.
Currently I have my XDA connected to my Wireless router and on the internet. It can access the internal router configuration and I can see the XDA on the DHCP table so I know the connection is good. I can also ping my XDA using my desktop but the XDA does not appear in the available networks list
Using my XDA to try and access my desktop: I enter the path to open in file explorer (\\XDA IP ADDRESS) I get the message;
"Network resource cannot be found or you do not have permission to access the network"
When I try the same thing on my PC I am told “The network path was not found”
I have disabled both the Windows firewall and Norton Internet Security but this has not helped at all. Anyone got any ideas?

What software are you using? I've found that you need something like POCKETLAN or RESCO FILE EXPLORER in order to do this on my 2i and 2s (before I ditched it for stability reasons). Both of these allow you to map network drives to the network folder in file explorer.

i have the same problem with my qtek2020i. Why?
Can any1 help us? PLEASE

Thanks for the replys. I managed to solve the problem by getting a copy of vmNethood installed. Works really well and if you enable the Network folder you can map network drives, the map is put in the network folder. I'm now happily listening to musing in other rooms on my XDA

PS. All my stability problems were serted (well 99% of them anyway) by installing the 1.40 ROM. Has WMP10 which is nice.

network file share
Guys,
2 things. girstly where can i download vmnetood from and secondly how do i update my rom and other bits?
thanks

Live encoding to a V5 device

Hi -
I have a security camera which I am streaming on a Windows XP SP2 box using
Windows Media Encoder v9.
I have a recently purchased Sprint ppc-6700 phone running the Windows Mobile
5
platform. It's running Windows Media v10.
I can't seem to view the stream on the PPC. The error I get is "Cannot find
the file. The file might have been moved, renamed, or deleted...."
I tried connecting using the url of mms://123.456.789:8080
I also tried to create an ASX file on a web server and have it point to the
above address
with no success.
Both my encoder and PPC device are on the same net with no firewall issues.
When I use a service such as www.beelinetv.com, I can view all of that stuff
OK
on the PPC device.
I can view the encoder output on another XP machine just fine. I am encoding
using WM9 150k video.
Any ideas ? :?:

Any joy
did you get any joy with this..
im getting exactly the same problem with my m5000

supported codecs ?
maybe you can try other codec, such as mpeg4

how about using software live webcamxp??, with this i can view my how webcam on the ppc screen from http://*.*.*.*:8080/pocketpc etc

Has anyone got a solution to this? I've searched various streaming threads on this forum but can't find an answer.
I'm trying to stream a video using Windows Media Encoder 9 on my Windows XP home SP2 PC to my O2 exec via wifi, but I can't open the file with either WMP or TCMP. With WMP I get the error message "Cannot find the file. The file night have been moved, renamed or deleted...". TCMP gives me a similar "Could not open file" error.
I can open the file stream from my laptop on the same wifi network using WMP, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the streaming. I can connect to the internet via wifi no problem from my Exec. I've tried using both http://<ip address>:<port>/ and mms://<ip address>:<port>/ but with no success. I'm sure there's a simple solution!
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated, particularly if it doesn't involve buying/installing any further software (I'm not bothered whether it plays back full screen or not).
Thanks

I know its a verrrry long shot but.....
Code:
--Universal can't connect to Windows Server 2003--
Cant map to a Windows 2003 Server share? Is it also a Domain Controller? Check the server for
start / programs / administraton tools / Domain Controller Security Policy
Then check Local Policies / Security Options :
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (always)
change to disabled
I had to use that fix so i could map drives, i could browse to the shares but it just kept looping on the password dialog.
Is it possible that the same style fix could be done on your streaming machine. after all, you do say another xp machine can do it fine
worth a shot! after all those keys look disabled on my xp machine

Had the same problem. With wme9, wm5 and media player you need to add "/*" at the end ot the url. Hope this helps.

Many thanks for the replies. It was the /* at the end of the url that fixed it. Plus I had to use the internal ip address of the PC rather than the machine name or the external ip address of the router, even though the machine name worked fine for the laptop, and it was the external ip address that was showing in the connections tab of media encoder.

Canot connect Mobile PC to Stream (WM Encoder)
OK, as per others advice I tried to connact my WM 6.1 device to my Streaming Media over bith LAn and InterNet address http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:8080 with the /* on the end. This is better than without the /* - actually brings up the Mobile player screen - however then get the following message:
Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the plyer does not support the format you are trying to play.
I can get the stream on my PC's though, bith XP and Vista boxes, just will not work on the WM6.1 handheld - all WiFi.
Any suggestions ?????

newbie question on networking with the XDA Exec...

Hi folks,
I'm considering getting an XDA Exec.
I wanted to check something...
I have a wireless network at home (Netgear 54mbps router, two PCS and a laptop connecting wirelessly).
Am I right in thinking I can connect the XDA to the wireless network and then both access the internet with that conection, as well as access files on the home network?
For example, could I be sitting in the lounge with the XDA Exec and surf the net with no data charges using the wireless network? Also, could I access a video file on the network and watch it on the XDA? Or an audio file for that matter?
Best,
CDC

guess you could do \\Network resources name\videofile.ext
or easier way is to use total commander it's free

yea, i do it all the time with my exec, i use resco explorer to access files on the network

yea, i do it all the time with my exec, i use resco explorer to access files on the network

I use resco also, but here is a question. is there anyway to get windows to pick up the XDA in my network places on a windows XP machine? as my xda picks up my xp machine fine. but it wont do vice versa?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
by 'Network resources name', I take it you mean the IP address of the machine where the file(s) are located + the path to the file?
I have Total Commander on my XDA Exec, so how do I go about accessing the files with that?

Network based service to access multimedia content converted in real time

Hi all,
I'm looking for a program which could make my multimedia files stored on a WinXP PC available on my I-mate K-jam (HTC Wizard) trhough WiFi, resizing video on the go accessing them.
Thx in advance

Have you tried orb or MS Media Encoder.

Orb works through the Internet. I'd like to use my WiFi network only.
Windows Media Encoder let you only stream contents, so it doesn't let you you choose them from the "client" device, you're stuck with the content the server is streaming at that moment.
Yes, I already tried them both before

Have you tired VLC?
There is a VLC port for wm5. See it that will work.
