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?
Hi Guys
I am having trouble mapping my M3100 to my Synology Diskstation (DS-101) network attached storage. I can successfully map to any shared drives on my desktop PC over WIFI but i cannot map to the diskstation. I have changed access rights on the diskstation to allow full access by "anyone" by allowing full rights to guest users.
please advise. i have posted this on experts exchange but know one has been able to help.
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Q_21960370.html
I dont know if its of help but I use a progrtam called Resco File Exploraer. You can download it as a trial from handango etc. I use it with Thecus and Buffulo NAS to exchange and stream files with no problems

Could we start with what error you get.
There is no issue with wm5 and external drives.
Assuming you are connected to your network ok, then its usually a case of going to file explorer and open path.
My external drive is called share1 so \\share1 would work for me
hi guys,
ok i also use resco file explorer.
when i click on map network drive, i get the "computers near me" where i see my desktop and the diskstation. now when i click on the + next to my desktop, i can see and access the shared folders ok. when i click on the + next to the diskstation i get the following error:
Cannot connect shared path. The specified server cannot perform the requested operation. Please advise!!
also, when i map a network drive either using the the IP address, e.g. \\196.168.0.4\public (where 192.168.0.4 = the NAS - i use this method to map to the drives on my PC) or \\diskstation\public, i get the following error
cannot map network path. Network resource cannot be found or you do not have a permission to access the network. Contact your network administrator
Tricky.
Have you managed to succesfully map your drive on your desktop. On my NAS there is a folder called 'share' which i used instead of 'group'.
So click on your diskstation icon in My Computer. click on tools...map network drive..follow the instructions where "drive letter \\diskstation name\share". Click on browse and you should see a list of avilable folders (eg info, share etc) in either your workgroup or Mshome. Click on the folder you will put all your data (in my case...share). Put your password in and see if it maps ok.
I have a Linkstation and seem to remember having similar problems ages ago. Dont mean to be cheeky, but have to set the IP settings and the workgroup settings ok on your diskstation.
ok thank youf or your help i will give it a go.
both desktop and diskstation are on the same work group, IP is assigned by DHCP. Does the pocket pc need to be on the same work group as well?
no luck i am afraid - when i click on map network drive, in the list beneath "computers near me" i can see both the diskstation and my desktop. when i click on the plus next to the diskstation it says:
cannot connect share path. the specified server cannot perform the requested operation :roll:
This is very confusing.
Im not sure whether you've mapped your drive on your desktop ok. When you open 'My Computer' on your desktop do you see the diskstation as an icon and when you double click the icon does it open so you can see your stored files?
i have no problems what so ever accessing it via my desktop, i can see all the folders and browse the contents as well. the only issue is with the pocket pc. Previously, i have tried the SPV M2000, and it has failed to connect giving the same error message - suggesting that my device isnt faulty, either it is not possible to access the diskstation, or the settings are incorrect!
Im really not sure what the problem is then. Sorry.
I have 2 NAS and I remember having problems with resco file explorer until I mapped them on my desktop. Once I mapped network drive using windows settings it was plain sailing. I can stream, transfer etc files no probs.
Sorry I couldn't be of any help
oh well. many thanks for your help
I am trying to access my LAN shares from the Hermes.
My hermes has IP address 192.168.254.9 and my server has 192.168.254.3
So on my Hermes file manager (Total commander) I try to reach
\\192.168.254.3\d$
But it can't reach this.
What do I need to do on Hermes and/or server PC ?
Doesn't seem to work when using Active Sync but needs a WiFi connection.
I set up a VPN connection and whenever I try to access a network share it automatically starts up and I can browse the network. I just use the inbuilt file browser.
Actually it kinda works without the VPN but acts a bit strange... will go down the file structure but not up??
Doesnt work for me using active sync over bluetooth with resco file explorer at all.
Active sync gives you an ip address but if i remember its in the wrong subnet completely.
Using wifi and it works perfectly.

Isn't this a default share windows sets up for its own?
(these default shares are not available for use, I think they are there either for internal use, or to prevent one from sharing the rootfolder)
Could you try sharing a different folder on the PC?
Make a d:\test, and share this folder; there should be a blue hand under the icon of the folder.
It can help to switch off "Simple file sharing" (in Windows Explorer, Tools > Folder Options > View, bottom of the list, uncheck simple file sharing).
Jörg
it does not matter. I tried both a normal share and hidden shares like d$
Now I captured the traffic between my pocket pc and the server.
if I try to connect by \\192.168.254.3\ my pocket pc tries to resolve name of 192.168.254.3 , but in fact it does not need it.
As it couldn't resolve the name it never tries to connect.
edit:
I figured out that the problem occurs because my wifi connection is not connected to "work" but "internet"
if I change it to "work" I can connect to my shares.
But then, what do I lose ?

Don't know - maybe a few apps won't like it. But I've got wifi in internet mode and can still do shares... with a little help from "Pocket Hosts" and "NetUse". Not entirely sure where I got them from... try searching on them ("netuse.cab" on the net use one). Set the name/ip up in pocket hosts and use the name in NetUse. I suspect you could use the name in Resco Explorer or any other app that way.
Maybe I just don't understand the question, I always feel dumb after I speak. I installed An app called "pocket lan" and it just sorted it all out for me. Everything works, it was an older version too.
now there's one strange thing I've encountered...
I can access all the files and folders on my pc via wifi, yet only those that i actually put on sharing. Now when I try to reach the default shares (c$, d$ etc) while logged in as an admin it just doesn't let me to do that ... is there a way to log in as an admin ?
btw I'm using Resco File explorer for that thing - it is quite useful and has never let me down but the admin log in just doesn't work
any ideas ?
thank you all...
I hope those apps will help (I couldn't try yet)
btw, I found the following page with FAQ
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/networkutils.htm
well, I installed "pocket hosts" and "netuse"
pocket hosts works (I tested with vxutil)
however, when I try to map a connection in "netuse" , netuse does not work.
it is still trying to connect with ost name and makes nbname query on the lan broadcast address.
my server responds with its other IP.
why does not "pocket hosts" work ?
no matter which software I try, I get a "error 53 connecting to resource" error.
When I search for this , I came to the following page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242001
This problem seems to be related to my problem. However, I am not using Windows NT 4
My servers are Windows XP
So what is my "error 53" ?
any idea would help me... please...
Hi. I don't seem able to access any of my shared folders on my home network since upgrading to Win 7 on my PC and the Energy ROM on my HD2.
I've tried using Resco explorer (it says 'no computers on network') and total commander. I've also tried adding the folders using their network addresses e.g. \\Lounge-PC\My Docs(E) but it doesn't work either.
I have a desktop and two laptops all running Win 7 and they share a home network using a CISCO wireless router; all are able to share files and folders.
Any help or advice gratefully accepted.

I was expecting at least one person to have had a similar problem?
can you see them through the TCPMP open file dialog?
Try option: Map Drive
Menu>File>Network>Map Drive
after add you will see folders in : my network
Xp3RiM3nT
No, I cant see any network computers in TCPMP's open file dialogue.
Raven78uk
That is how I usually connect to my shared drives but now I get the message 'no computers on network' in Resco and Total Commander doesn't show and network PCs either.
- Make sure Wifi is connected on the HD2...
- In Resco's network folder, select new folder like usual to add a share, menu->settings, check there is ONLY the IP/mask of your wifi, not the one of the data connection. If both are there, untick automatic settings, and remove the WWAN one.
Should solve it. Otherwise if you have wifi AND data connected it will try to search for computers on WWAN, which would take days...
So you can definately connect to the ahred folders from other pc's its just connecting from the phone that is the problem?
If you go to this page in your control panel on the computer with a shared folder:
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings
check that the settings are enabled like so:
network discovery: on
file and printer sharing: on
sharing so anyone on network can read: on
128bit encryption: on
password protectged sharing: off (or on if you have a password on that pc, if its on and there is no password on that pc then you cant login and therefore cant connect to the shared folder)
Inore homegroup stuff.
after all of this is set correctly and you are sure some folder is being shared on the pc you are trying to connect to then go to tcpmp and go to File>open File and then go to \\<PC-NAME-HERE>\ ie \\Lounge-PC\ as you mentioned earlier.
tcpmp should prompt you for a un/pw if you have none for this pc just click login/connect (cant remember what the button says) and then ytou should see your folders/files?
see how you do with that and we can then try and see why you cant see them in explorer.
It's probably because of Windows 7 Home Group. It's a pain in the arse to get normal file sharing working be default..
