Total Commander - LAN Authentication - Networking

I've had total commander on my PPC for neraly a year.
I've used it to access my server and - with a bit of playing with the servers passwords - it clearly seems to 'know' one of my usernames and passwords.
What I'm guessing is that I put this in ages ago and have forgotten I did it.
Thing is I can't remember how - there doesn't appear to be a menu option - it doesn't appear to ask you if it doesn't know the password --- possibly it is a registry hack --- any thoughts???
Thanks

No way to disable Server Certificate Validation in 802.1x!

Hi,
I want to connect my qtek 9100 on the 802.1x WLAN of my school (ETHZ). It has not been possible yet, although i spent an hour with a person from the tech support of the school.
The problem comes from the very specific configuration that I cannot set on the Qtek 9100!
I need to uncheck the "validate server certificate" option, which is by default for PEAP authentication, something easy to do on a normal windows machine. But the problem is, there is no way to disable this on the qtek 9100 in any "properties" tab, and it therefore complains that the server certificate is not valid, and then refuses to connect!
HOW could I disable "validate server certificate"?? using the registry??
With the person from the tech support we managed to find somehow the registry keys linked to this option in Windows. But of course these keys dont exist on the qtek 9100 in Windows Mobile 5...
Please, is there some expert with some better idea?
Thanks

I havent found a way to do it so far. No various configurations nor random 3rd party software worked on WM5 properly.
This issue is more interesting when consider that htc universal offers LEAP ( which would do work as well ) and wizard dont!

From what I can gather you will need a root certificiate. Still trying to get to the bottom of this though.
it seems that AKU2 allows us to use LEAP which already would do the thing! I'll test in on friday and let you know!
i found some useful info on the net, but have not yet tested them on my MDA Vario:
there seem to be 3 possibilities:
1: you retrieve the root certificate from your techie friend at your university and place it in the designated folder on your ppc.

2: you add a DWORD 0 at HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValidateServerCert (http://www.modaco.com/How_to_set_a_wifi_network_to_use_a_certificatel-t237261.html)

3: Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners
Here you should notice 2 sub-keys, both with a unique UID. One is set up for the ActiveSync Partnership with your PC, the other is set up for the partnership with your Exchange server. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to distinguish between the two. Simply highlight one of them, and look at the different values. You'll see pretty quickly which one is for your Exchange server. While the partner key for your Exchange server is highlighted, create a new value with the following parameters
Type: DWORD
Name: secure
Value: 0 (http://winzenz.blogspot.com/2006/03/hacking-your-windows-mobile-50.html)

authors of points 2 and 3 differ from opinion, but I cannot say which is best, perhaps someone else has an opinion?

Hi Predo,
Have you been able to get LEAP to work using AKU2??
Lot of inquiries present on the net, but no clear answers.....
Thx,
Mak
This is what I would do.
This can be easily done from a PC, because you can get a temporary trust from the authentication server which gives you the option to install the root on your PC. Export the root cert from your laptop/PC and copy it over to your mobile device. Once the root.cer is on the wizard just open up file explorer and double tap it the cert will auto install.
Problem solved
I wouldn't use LEAP or even PEAP without validating the server cert. Especially in a hostel environment like a university, which is full of hacks. Associating to an AP without validating certs sets you up for man in the middle.
The only advantage LEAP or Fast EAP (if it were supported) is for roaming. The wizard would also have to support CCX v3. You can get this CCX v3 support by purchasing Funk (now Juniper) Odyssey client, which is $50. When using LEAP or Fast EAP it allows the use of CCKM (fast roaming).
Oh yeah, the odyssey client supports PEAP with the option to not validate the server cert.
hi, i dont know why is that but after upgrading software to new aku2.0 rom ( imate afair ) i started to be able to connect to my university wlan with no problems. Only thing is there i have nothing added in leap tab in network properties.
Anyway, it works so i'm not playing with settings anymore ;-)

I can connect to my home wi-fi router but what next?

I set up a Wi-Fi connection to my home wireless router and set up the WEP security stuff as *I think* it should be. I connect to my home network OK *I think* (at least I get no error message from Comm Manager and my router shows it has successfully allocated a valid IP address to the device using DHCP).
What happens next?
If I try to use any external resource such as a web browser my device tells me it's connecting via GPRS.
In file explorer I have no way to see anything shared on my network.
Do I need extra software to access files on my home network?
Do I need to set some extra flags to tell the device to use Wi-Fi in preference to GPRS?
Just in case it's relevant, I'm using a Wizard (T-Mobile(UK) MDA Vario) and my home network is a collection of Windows XP Pro PCs and a NAS hard drive.
total commander is good imho to brows
and in settings->connections->connections advantage
make sure you pick mynetwork at not myisp
Thanks!
I now get my device to use Wi-Fi instead of GPRS after I set the correct option under
settings-> connections-> connections advanced
Total commander looked promising, but having installed it I still can't connect to any of my network shares, and the help on the web site seems to relate to the Windows client only. I don't have a "Network neighborhood" appearing on my PocketPC so navigation is still a problem.
Even if I type in the full network share name (which I could do with the standard file explorer) I can't connect. Total commander reports "Error 58 when connecting" but there's no help for that either. At least TC gives me an error code, which is a little more helpful than File Explorer.

Resco File Explorer is good but I use Bizzdev's Netuse though you may be hard pushed to find a working download link for the PDA version (freeware), but I'm sure there are ways.

The title threw me off ... "I can connect to my home wi-fi router but what next?"
I was thinking:
- Surf the net
- Hack a gibson
- Have fun
1. Get connected to my home wi-fi router
2. ???
3. Profit.

Strange Network Authentication Issue

I have been dealing with this for some time and am finally reaching out. I really hope this makes sense, if not please tell me and I will try to clarify.
I have two windows 2k3 servers at home with shares on each. I can see and map the shares with my pda on one server just fine but the other doesn't work at all. I can see both computers on the pda and the shares are accessible from 6 other machines both logged as domain users and local accounts. I've made sure the permisions were identical on both machine (along with checking everything I could think of a million friggin times) I finally noticed that if I enter false credentials into the login for the working server then I get a failed security audit with the faulty username along in the event log along with a second separate one showing my wireless network username for school as the attempted username . On the non working machine I only get this school username and nothing else regardless of what I enter into the pda. The best I can figure, one server is allowing the failed attempt and moving on to the good and the other is stopping after the first. Someone PLEASE tell me why a username ONLY entered into the wireless network settings of my schools network (settings that I have removed with no effect) would be forced into my attempts to map a network drive? Ima lose my god damn mind!
FFS!!! Finally found the solution. Evidently the policy setting in 2k3 domain controllers requires SMB signing while member servers don't. This is why I could stream from my regular server and not my domain controller. Resco explorer's FAQ of all things had the answer and the solution if anyone needs it.
Resco said:
Windows CE networking is not able to map the drives from the servers using SMB signing.
This can be solved by changing the following setting in the Domain Controller Security Policy under Local Policies --> Security Options
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (always): Disabled

Accessing XP shares from WM2003

I am having a problem accessing XP shares on my LAN via WM2003. I was able to access them several weeks ago by using Total Commander. It prompted for the hostname and then for the username and password. I simply logged in as guest without a password since these shares were had full read access for all users. I was able to access all shares on my LAN for a few days until it mysteriously stopped working.
I deleted and added the locations again in Total Commander, yet it never prompted me for a username/password again, and when I go to the share, it simply shows a blank folder. This happens whether I am trying to access it with the hostname or IP address, neither will work. Sometimes I have received an "error 53" when trying to connect as well. I have tried using File Explorer and even Resco File Explorer to no avail. All of the hosts on the network show up in PocketLAN but I am completely unable to browse them.
Should I somehow remove the guest login information I originally entered when I was first able to connect to the share? Is there somewhere in the registry this information is stored, as I have been unable to find anything about it. From various message boards, this seems to be a fairly common problem, yet no one has been able to provide any solution for it.
I really am at a loss as to why this is happening. Can anyone offer insight?

File transfer using WiFi (WLAN) - is it possible??

Hi everyone.
After searching through the forums, I couldn't get any satisfactory answer.
1) I have THD and Elfin - both WM devices. My question here is, how can I transfer files ( like Fotos, M$ office Documents, Music etc. ) using WiFi or to be precise WLAN? I do not wish to use Wireless internet to send files....I mean to say, without using any thrid wireless device, how can I enable file sharing between these two devices??
I have checked out Resco file explorer and Total Commander. None of them provide option of FTP over WLAN/WiFi.
2) Similarly, how can I transfer files between my WiFi enabled Laptop and THD/Elfin???
Is there any setting to be changed in existing devices, any 3rd party application?? or is it a call for Developers?
Big Thanks Ahead.

I preffer FTP protocol as there are many clients on Windows/Linux. On my blackstone I use Mocha FTP Server (freeware). Total Commander CE does support FTP (only as a client). Transfer rates are rather slow.

Thanks Guys....that was really quick. Just 1 question though - does this method solves my first problem - file sharing between two WM6/6.1 devices using WiFi ???
Thanks Again.

Well yeah, you can browse to a network share with e.g. Total Commander. So it should work once set up properly. Going to try this myself!!
Pardon me if I'm asking for too much.....can we have something like VoIP or to be precise, a radio communicator using such 'WiFi/WLAN between 2 WM devices'? It will be fun to communicate with friends in a 'trucker' style within WiFi range - 10-4 ?

Dude this one dosent seems to be working with WM 6 (for my Elfin) [at least the link says so ] Can you please confirm?
Thanks ahead
True... I cannot install it on my blackstone...
Yes you can....I have installed it on my Blackstone and me Elfin too (after upgrading Elfin to 6.1). And it works.
However, I am still not able to transfer files (using WLAN) between my Elfin and blackstone. Any ideas on that??
Thanks Ahead
Hi guys,
I am extreamly happy to say that i have been able to share files from one windows mobile to another windows mobile that too at the speed of up 450kbps.
i had been trying to do this for atleast 2.5 months with no luck(u may check the related topics, nobody had a idea, Even using xda, google, bing, yahoo, altavista found that nobody has done it before...) but yesterday i made it to work the way i wanted to.
All you need to do is create a adhoc connection(e.g P2P) and download FTP server (Yes your mobile will act as a FTP server) and FTP client.
For FTP server download mochasoft and for FTP Client download resco.
**Once you install resco 2008, go to menu-->options-->addins--> then download ftp plugging(and it will make resco to work as a ftp client)
Mobile A
Start--->settings-->connections-->add new ->name it p2p-->select the option "this is a device-to-device connection(adhoc)...once it is done, turn on wifi on Mobile B it will detect this connections, connect to it.....Now two mobiles are connected with each other via wifi(Without router).....Till this point you can find it in google.
Now to share files open mocha soft on Mobile A(It will show that it is "online" with a specific IP address(Note down this ip address), Anonymous login will be on but preferabaly create a user name (File--->settings--> Add[*give it a read/write permission]) and the password.
Then decide for yourself what exactly you wanna share with the other mobile, in this example i am going to share my SD CARD. Go to file -->settings--> other--> and in the "Login Folder:" put in "\\storage card"
Once that's done open up resco ftp on Mobile B. Go to My ftp locations-->New ftp session--Give a name to ftp session (like abcd), In the host type in the ip address address that you noted down earlier--> let the port 21-->Login:ut in the username that you created-->Password: put in the password
and Hey there you go!!!, you will have the Sd Card of Mobile A and you will be working on it as if it is in your own mobile..
....Cont...
On mobile A moccha will notify you that a user has logged on to your server. You can use all FTP commands on mochasoft.
I downloaded the 700Mb movie which was stored in my frnds mobile while we were having beer and it got downloaded at the speed of 450kbps(it started off with 350kbps and was fluctuating from 380 to 450kbps), Just before doing this i tried to copy a 10mb file using bluetooth and resco showed the speed 20kbps........
So next time when you go out to meet your frnds you can transfer all their stuff at the lightning speed via WIFI file sharing......
Good Luck!!
If i got to settings connetions i can only create a modem or VPN connection..nothing with ad hoc..what am i missing?
If I remember correctly, you set up an adhoc network as if you were to enter a custom network with a hidden ssid. You enable wifi and go to the screen where it shows the available networks. There you can add a new network and tick this is an adhoc connection.
Also, since adhoc connections have no dhcp server, it is best to work with fixed ip addresses.
