I had a JasJar and before it PDA2k and with both I could not mount network shares on my local home network. I write the address in file explorer in the format \\10.0.0.23\share where the share share does not even have a password and is share to everybody and the phone can not recognize the share.
It does see other devices on the local netword for example it can browse the Internet and access my routers web based admin but not the share.
Other computers on my home network can access the share.\
I heard there are programs that help in doing this, but is there no direct or free way to do this?
Try using Resco File Explorer in which you will be able to map shared network folders and then you can access them from File Explorer directly, it even support possword protected shared items.
Im using the standard file explorer, it works fine. I start by typing \\P4 which eventually shows my shares, and then I can navigate as I want.

still can not connect to share
Nasdaq, which version of windows do do you have the share on. Are there any special settings?
It gives me "network path was not found" always then "Network resource can not be found or you do not have the permission to access the network".
The share has no password, on windows it just logs me in without any further input.
I am using the openpath in the file explorer.
May be you need to check once again about IP Addresses and Default Gateway settings, which is not allowing you to connect with your LAN.
--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
that will stop your universal from accessing a share normal windows machines can access.,.
Access shares problem is on Windows XP
This problem is on WindowsXP share not on windows server.
Also the imate can access the Internet and even the administration of the router, so I gues it has full TCP/IP abililty.
Are there any workgroup settings that I need to do?
Sorry for not getting back earlier, my share is on an XP sp1 box.
What I would REALLY like to do is browse my Exec over wifi from my PC. :?

Anyone got any other advice on this one?
Can't access my network shares with //192.168.0.1/ etc either?
Thanks

I can't access shares by using the IP, I have to use the name of the machine: \\azhad instead of \\10.168.2.158

Try this up
I had the same problem accessing network shares on my Universal...
I was also typing IP address in Resco Explorer and it was not working.
But I could make it work using the computer name. I have no idea why it work whil with basic ip address it couldn't, but at least I am able to browse my computer folder and play video files.
So try using "\\computername\share" to see if it's working.
forrest.
I tried
I tried doing that, using the computer name. It takes more time to tell me that it can not access the server.
I think that to resolve the name of the computer it needs a wins server, is that correct?
Could it also be in your network settings if you set your network as internet or connects to work?
to Jatt
Jatt theoretically you should be able to create a network share on any computer on your network and be able to access it on your phone. This is really handy since you would not need to activesync to exchange files.
But note that for JasJar/Exec or any WM5 device you can not sync over the network just share files.
To ehabh
Thanks for trying to help me out but can u tell me how do i create a network share on my computer? please
Thanks again
Same problem
I've got the same problem. I can connect to the internet through my router but for the life of me I can't connect to the shared on my PC (XP SP2). I know it's not a problem with my EXEC because I can connect to my PC at work. I can see my PC in the device list but not connect to it.
The first time I tried to connect using Resco Explorer 05 I managed to ge the screen asking for log-on details, but never got any further as it said my passwork was incorrect. Since then I've never managed to get the log-on screen back only an error say the network resource was unavailable.
I've ran the XP network set-up wizard more times than I can count, changed my PC settings manually but still had no luck. Has no one figured out what we're doing wrong?
I didn't really understand the machine name issue as I don't have any WINS or DNS server at home... But for me it worked...
Anyway you should try to temporarily disable your personnal firewall (On the computer you're trying to access) just to see if it is not blocking network traffic for the windows sharing.
If it is the problem, then you have to configure your firwall to stop blocking this traffic...
Sorry, but it's all I know...

Hi all, ok so I've been experimenting with VPN on my home network I want to be able to try and stream my music collection to my MDA (That would be sweet), but I'm having a wee bit of trouble. So far I have managed to get remote desktop working, I know it doesn't have anything to do with VPN, but I started with that, and I can establish a VPN connection to my desktop. I can see the connection active on both the phone and the pc, the only problem is that so far I haven't been able to see/access my shared folders, I have done a great deal of checking in the past few days. I haven't found anything I can use... everything is more along the lines of VPN from pc to pc, not pocket pc to pc. They way to access the shared folders is trough file explorer and choosing open path and then putting in your VPN servers ip address or name and the shared folder you want to access right?
I am getting connected to my company network via wifi but i am not able to access shared files on a different subnet..the error i get is "Cannot connect shared path.The network path was not found." though i am able to access shared files on the same subnet. In resco explorer when i use autodetect it shows only the pcs on the same subnet but when i put in the ip of the pc(different subnet) by removing the autodetect mode i get the above error when i double click. The surprising thing is that i am able to take remote desktop(terminal servies) of any pc on the network regardless of the subnet but not able to access shared files on a different subnet.... Can somebody help me out with this??
FYI...
I am able to ping my phone ip from the pc(different subnet) and also i am able to ping the pc from my phone...I am using VM net browser. one more thing is that i am not able to find out the hostname of my phone even though i give ping -a phone ip from my pc...any idea why?
I have tried everything but in vain...so please any techie guy help me out :-(
Ok,
How should I do to "Share" an dir on my Wizard so a computer on the LAN can access it with \\myipadress\share ?
And how do I get access to a share from an other computer on the LAN?
And is there any good apps that let me run a webserver & ftp server on my Wizard?
Thanks!
// MIKKE
i dont think you can share folders on your wizard and connect from a PC.
You can connect to shares on your PC "from" your wizard though over Wifi. You can easily do it using resco file explorer, just make sure your wizard has an ip address from your wireless router.
You can use ShareIt FTP as an FTP server on your pocketpc.

If tou want to share via HTML, get PicoWebServer, it is free.

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?
