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.

does it mean i can use wifi to activesync with my pc without any wired connections?
i read the site but it says it is not meant for that purpose?
As I understand it, no, what it does is maintain the wifi connection during a sync. Useful but not wifi syncing

You are correct. This will not allow you to use ActiveSync over a WiFi connection. It simply allows you to use WiFi for debugging AFTER you are synced (e.g. with a USB ActiveSync).
So it is only useful for developers who need to debug (e.g.) with Visual Studio.
By the way, we have just released a new tutorial on how to get Visual Studio 2005 working with Windows Mobile 5.0. You can download it for free here:

Hi, ive got a wizard and was wondering what software i can use to connect to different wireless networks like odyssey client but freeware or not very expensive.
Thanks,
Kurt
There is an app called Hitchhiker (just google), its free and easy but you need to install .NET CF 2 (check MS website).
You can use devicescape at www.devicescape.com which automatically connects you to most hotspots and allows you to share your home networks with buddies.
Sorry for the stupid question , but is possible to make a pocketPC to pocketPC adhoc wi-fi connection to exchange file??? If yes i need any program, or i have only to configure the two devices???
Thank a lot for the answers!!!!!!
You need a program that share a folder on the "server pda", and a program, like resco explore, that explores network folders.
For the adHoc connection, it's simple, just add manually a network name, and check "ad hoc network" for the two pda (naturally try before with an open connection without security)
Most Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices are shipped with Microsoft Bluetooth stack, only few of them use others (like Widcomm Bluetooth stack). Among all the Bluetooth services that may be implemented in the stack, OBEX FTP is the most common service.
OBEX FTP Bluetooth service can be used to share files through Bluetooth, not only by sending files but also by allowing remote devices to browse local shared folders and download files.
...
There exists a Directory Traversal vulnerability in the OBEX FTP Service in Microsoft Bluetooth Stack implemented in Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices. A remote attacker (who previously owned authentication and authorization rights) can use tools like ObexFTP or gnomevfs-ls to traverse to parent directories out of the default Bluetooth shared folder by using ../ or ..\\ marks. This means the attacker can browse folders located on a lower level, download files contained in those folders as well as upload files to those folders.
The only requirement is that the attacker must have authentication and authorization privileges over the OBEX FTP service. Pairing up with the remote Windows Mobile device should be enough to get it. In case the attacker succeeded in getting the proper privileges, further actions will be transparent to the user

I don't see this as a vulnerability, it has its good and bad use. the only way for to even get in to the device is to pair with the device, and only an Ass-hat would actually pair a device they don't know.
I think there was an app called bluetooth explorer which allows the option to explore folders on the connected device (don't really remember if that was the name)
can someone please tell which other mobile OS offers the option to send files over bluetooth? I'm just curious, I think WinMo offers this but I don't want to sound like an ass-head declaring this as fact.
it would be a real vulnerability if the attacker could do all that without any user intervention
