Hi!
I would like to know if there is a program for browse the lan...
Tks
Khael
resco explorer 2005 lets you do that, from what I remember you need to map the network drives before you can browse them though.
Total Commander will also do that (via its \\plugins shortcut, then the lan virtual folder) - but likewise, as with Resco, you have to map the drives before you can browse them.
This thing is a dinosaur, but it might be what you're looking for:

I have recently purchased an o2 xda mini s, and have been browsing through this site for about a week. been very impressed. i have a question for you - is there anyway of accessing my computer through the wireless lan? EG accessing the computer hard drive, and playing a film on the xda. thanks ben
Yes there is but I'm not sure how to do it on a "Vanilla" WM5 machine. I use Resco Explorer which is a commercial application but allows you to move the "Network" folder below "My Device" and connect to shared drives. These shared drives over the network (GPRS / WiFi / USB Active Sync etc) will then show up in ANY program which has a file browser.
I'm sure there is a way of doing it on a plain machine but Resco Explorer is so much easier and nicer for any kind of file manipulation....
nice one, im looking into it now
ok iv got resco, and im connected. i can see the network places, and i can acess my shared folder, but when i try to open a music file, media player opens and says the parameter is incorrect? anyone know what this means?!
You're right you know!
This is the only app on my device that has this problem (Well no surprises there seeing as it's MS s/w!)
I am using both Pocket Music and TCPMP (Free!) for video / music (TCPMP does both) and neither have that problem over the network.
Also try MortPlayer as that is another excellent skinnable player for FREE....
TCMP will access shared folders/files. Or should that be \\computer\shared_folder\media.files It works pretty well over wifi for me. If you are happy to create your playlist on your pc and stream to the PocketPC then Microsoft media encoder will do the job. I'm just looking into Orb www.orb.com which should allow me to view/listen to my media anywhere I have access to the internet on my Wizard.
Hope this helps,

thats great, got tcpmp running really smooth, even without cutting the resolutions down. im very impressed. is there a way to make tcpmp the default application? iv always had symbian phones uptil now-which are considerably more stable, but not quite as manipulative iv noticed.
one other thing, is i had a prog for my symbian device that put my desktop up on the screen and gave me total control of the pc with it, do u kno of another app that will do this on ppc? thanks so much!

thats great thanks!
Did some searching and found this older thread.
Basically, I was wondering if any body knows of a free prog, or reg hack, to make the network folder visible and then allow mapping the network drive?
I found an older prog caller NetRunner, from a Spanish site. It works on my older wm2003 devices (though it always asks for my pass work even if I tell it to save it) And it will work on my MDA, but I can only access the network drive through net runner. It won't show up in file explorer.
So any ideas? Thanks
Ok, Never mind.... I feel sheepish!
I have GSfinder installed and it allows you to show the network folder and to map the drive................
One question about it though- even time I soft power down the phone and turn it back on and try to browse my network drive it keeps asking for my password. Even if I tell it to save it..any way to fix this?
Thanks

This usually means that the music file type is not supported by windows media player. ie: asx,m3u,etc. In file explorer, does the music file you're trying to play have the wmp icon, or some other player icon beside it?
Does anyone know the best software to use to browse to other Windows machines across the network?
(Just like going \\machinename\c$ in XP/Vista)
Resco File Explorer.
Hi,
Has anyone done a file sharing between a PC and a TMO Wing without any software?
Thanks

Get a memory card reader and a microSD.
You can also use a bluetooth dongle for the pc and then beam files directly to your Wing without connecting with activesync.
Can we do that by wirless router? Say both the devices are connecting to the same wirless router.
A bluetooth dongle requires you to install the bluetooth software on the PC. If this is a locked down corporate computer, this is a no-go.
The WiFi sounds intriging... there are ways to browse network shares... but then again, this requires you to have wireless access to the network.

Hi there,
I’ve have successfully used file sharing over a wireless network between my pocket pc and my computer, it was even stable enough to stream and watch full sized divx movies (not resized for pocket pc) on my pocket pc. The only catch is that I’m using Resco Explorer to map a network drive on my pocket pc. I haven’t tried using the default Windows Mobile Explorer yet.

Yes i'm doing the same thing, for some reason i can get fullsized videos to stream though, can with music not video though, what player do u use ?
Overall its pretty easy to browse the network and share files, just use resco explorer and map the right folder
I use card export in my old BlueAngel... install it and the PPC connects to windows as a mass storage device... this and a spare usb cable in my bag... no need for anything else.

If the computer already has bluetooth you can create a pairing profile. From then you can right click on the file you would like to send and select send to bluetooth then to your profile. This is best if used with smaller files such as cabs. Hope this helps. Works for me.

Good idea. I didn't think about that. You can download WM5torage to do the same thing. It'll turn your PocketPC into a portable drive.
If you have wireless you can user simple file sharing on the computer and see the share on pocket via Resco Expl. or Windows Commander. : \\pc_name\disk_share. If you want to made file transfer like cabs or music, movies it's very simple and you don't need card reader blablabla...
Right know I want to made the revers way to share the PPC to PC.
Any ideea?
I have a Dash 3G that can successfully connect to my home network. My issue is that I am trying to use file explorer to enter a UNC path, but it is no where to be found.
I even noticed that the keypad is missing the '\' button. I would love to be able to get to my music from my phone.

Use Total Commander or Resco instead.
The \ can be found by hitting the SYM key ( the pound sign # )
I am using Resco Explorer 2007 and do not see an option to input a UNC?
As far as I know, you cannot browse a network from any Windows Mobile Standard device.
What about accessing music through Windows Media Player?

Pocket player (with the plugin) will let you stream music from you PC to your device.
I have my HD2 and my home pc connected to the same wifi router, and basically i want to use the media player on the HD2 to access music files on the home pc. Now, i have managed to use resco explorer's network function to map the shared folder, and i can open it in resco, tap a music file, and play it, but how to play a whole album/folder, like i normally do in the media player? Its almost as if i need a proper path available in the system's own file explorer, which i can then select in any application?

I just use Orb so other than that no idea.
Nice. Just trying orb out now, just a bit curious as to why it's free, and on such an expensive looking server and ui as well!?? Where do they get their money?
