Hi,
I'm a bit new to all this, just thinking about buying an ameo & this might be the stupidist question ever asked on here but......
I have a Wifi network set up at home with NAS (namely a netgear SC101) and I was wondering if it was possible to access this storage from an ameo/advantage? Also would it be possible to print to a networked printer? (samsung ML-1510, B&W laser).
Thanks in advance for your help!
In my office, I just opened up File Explorer and key in \\nasserver\data\folder and was able to access the files as if I am on my laptop.
I think it depends on how your printer is setup. I have a networkable psc 2575 and I cant get it working but have read other posts in this forum that suggest that it is possible.
I dont know about the printer (although it should be possible), but accessing storage over the network is trivial. VMbrower, Resco Explorer or the plain integrated explorer works. I prefer, like many others here it seems, Resco explorer.
I'm using for years ( before with MDA III, Universal) and now with Ameo old but not bad Asus WLHDD - wireless network disk ( you can find it very cheap now) .
No problem with connectivity .

Hi,
I am a new Hermes owner and I am a networker.
So I am loking for anything related to network on Hermes to play with
unfortunately I am very confused with so many non-working applications for PPC. This is my first PPC device and I still couldn't go further then seeing my IP address on the device.
Of courser I can use it for any network application but I want to sniff, analyze, collect info...
So far, I've heard the following applications:
- VxSniffer
- PhatNet and Phatnet Pro
- Hitchhiker
- Commview wifi for PPC
- Windows Mobile Network Analyzer PowerToy for WM5
- Pocket Warrior
- CENiffer 3.0
- wififofum
- wifiknife
VxSniffer:
didn't work on my Hermes - don't know why but it says that it can't load driver.
it only worked once but then after a reset it gave the same error.
do you know the cause ?
PhatNet Pro:
didn't also work. but it never works. VxSniffer worked at least once.
Windows Mobile Network Analyzer PowerToy for WM5:
It works but really does nothing other than giving me obvious information.
Wifiknife and Wififofum aren't really doing anything sensible. Maybe just for fun.
I didn't try CommView, Pocket Warrior, CENiffer, Hitchhiker yet. But I really have no hope.
I've read the following article :
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1226&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
But it gave me no hope...
So I am still looking for software.
Which one really works on Hermes and really is useful ?
How do you use VxSniffer ? (I ask this because it was the only one that seemed like it would work and I see some people on this forum talking about it)
Does hitchiker or commview work ?
Please help me
????????
Well erm..... what is it you want to do?
Hitchhiker works if you want to connect to a network. Wififofum that you say does nothing sensible gives you info about networks in the area. That is what these sort of apps. are designed for. If you want more then you have to be more specific in stating your purpose.
At random I might suggest something like logmein as a network tool to control your PC, but I live in fear that you will say that's not what I'm looking for it does nothing sensible!!
You ask for apps that really are useful - and that's the point, useful for what?
More detail please?
Mike
ok; detail...
I am looking for network analyzing, packet capturing, sniffing tools.
also talking about wifi, wep key sniffing would be nice.
also, I am looking for an emule/edonkey client for PPC.
I have mobiphant but a better client (if exists) would be nice.
btw, what information do you get from wififofum (I mean information that standart builtin wlan tool does not supply) ?
logmein is a pc controlling software as far as I know from my readings throughout the forum. I need this kind of application but my limitation is that I can only use remote desktop protocol. (formy work pc)
now, you'll say "use the built in TSC" but it is not usefull with 320x240 screen size. So I tried Nyditot to achieve a higher screen resolution. Then it made my stylus unuseful (screen alignment problem)
you see, there are too many problems that I need to solve with my Hermes.
emule/edonkey, wep key snifers - get a life!!
Come on ...
Want to use your HERMES as a hacking tool?
Forget it ...
why not ?
hey guys, why not ?
I don't understand you.
there are these applications...
mobiphant is a working emule client. I used it and I even downloaded someyhing on the go.
I just couldn't find the right sniffing application.
commview and hitchhiker should be working. I just don't know how to install and use these.
if phatnet, commview, hitchhiker, vxsniffer, and other tools are written. then there is a demand. and also there is possibility.
so why not we don't use it ?
I don't understand why you are negative about this.
I think there is negativity because the combination of applications you seem interested in suggests that you want to drive up to someones house or perhaps detect the neighbours network, crack their wep key, and start downloading their files.
Or maybe you have just given the wrong impression??
Mike
I think it's wrong impression.
I am a network expert in a serious network and telco company.
I have high bandwidth internet access both at work and at home.
I don't need to crack my neighbour's wep key.
It's just that I love network tools and now that I have a new toy which can access wifi, I want to play with it.
I need network sniffer to troubleshoot my voip applications on the hermes.
I need the emule client to download ANYTHING from e2dk networks while I am connected with my hermes.
there is no evil idea. I just want to use tools that are available. I am not familiar with this pocket pc OS (I was a PalmOS user for 6 years) and I need help.
besides, if I need to hack my neighbour's network I could use my laptop with many available tools.
That seems fair comment to me.
Unfortunately not being an expert in this area, we'll have to wait for replies from those who are.
Mike
I've found another one: ministumbler
it's available at :
http://www.stumbler.net
and
http://www.wardriving.pl/new.php?nr=193
it seem like a new application however, it didn't work...
Maybe I am doing something wrong.
Should I enable wifi card or disable it before using such applications ?
as soon as I enable my wifi card it connects to my wifi network.
maybe this interrupts the sniffer application ???
I use WiFi Companion, so you can chack that out if it suites you
Here is the link: http://www.jiwire.com/socket-wifi-companion-product-review-1.htm
wifi companion seems like a nice application. should I install it to devşce or the storage card ?
any special instrucions ?
You can install it on storage card, it works fine from there..
No special instruction needed for network experts..
here is what i have on my Hermes.
btcrawler - bluetooth snarfing/scanning tool (not really that useful but fun none the less)
mtoken - serial/telnet/ssh client
pocket tty - ppc version of putty
sniffi - wireless scanning tool (btw ministumbler doesnt work on the hermes)
wififofum2 - wireless (not sure which one i like yet)
vxipconfig - release renew etc..
vxutil - ping/traceroute/finger/nslookup etc...
Others
CE Sniffer v3.1 - packet capture (like ethereal, i have used it on my old ppc havent installed it on hermes yet)
vxSNMP - read/write snmp (havent installed it)
vxSniffer - packet capture (havent installed it, but Cambridge software generally is very good)
WEP cracking - havent seen anything for ppc running windows. Generally you need linux on a IPAQ or similar.
thank you
I will try these...
However, I have a very generic problem:
when I install something related to wifi adapter, I generally can't run it.
all of the apps I tried say that :
"can't load driver"
"driver not loaded"
"driver not available"
I got these for most of the apps. Now I try the Socket Wi-fi Companion as suggested and I get a similar error:
"one or more components of WLAN tools were not found, or there are too few resources available to start the program. please verify proper installation of WLAN tools and try again"
I tried several times and the result is same.
My wifi is working. I am connected to my home wifi router now.
So what is the problem ?
Should I start these apps when my wifi is on or off ?
should I run them when I'm connected to a wlan or not ?
maybe there is a conflicting application I think but the only continuous running app is Wisbar Advanced.
What do you suggest ?
most of the wifi apps were written a while ago and dont contain drivers for the wifi in the hermes. A good example is ministumbler, it has not been updated for years.
You dont really need a wifi scanner to do more then tell you a network exists, if it is secured, what channel, power of the network, and if your lucky what brand of AP it is. sniffi and wififofum2 both do this and have gps tagging too.
There are plenty others out there though.
senergy,
I understand you but I can't run any of the apps that you (and others) report working.
I have a problem using these drivers on my hermes. what could it be ?
anyone using any of these sniffing applications successfully on Hermes ?
which vxsniffer version works on Hermes ?
vxSniffer.hpcPro_arm.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_I486.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_mips.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_sh3.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_sh4.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_arm.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_mips.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_sh3.CAB
I still can't get further than "cannot load driver"
I'd go for the PPC ARM cab

Hi
I've managed to successfully map & connect to 'file shares' on the several computers that i have on my local homegroup...using the standard 'explorer' within Duttys excellent WM6 build.
However this is being done whilst my Tytn is physically connected via USB & Activesync to my computer.
It is possible to see the local network, browse & connect to share folders, as i am doing currently but via Wifi!? - Thus not needing the depandancy on my laptop & usb? - Basically see the network & browse it the same way as all my other computers do...?
Can it be done with what is installed explorer or do i need a special program? - if so, whats good & free?
Ciao
Al
Yes. It is possible. Have used total commander and the built-in explorer to browse my network shares.
Many thanks, i shall give it a go...
P.S. sorry for my typo "Browing" - meant Browsing of course ;-)
hi there, you can try this one - http://www.vmobilesoftware.com/NetworkBrowser.htm it is much much comfortable. not tested on WM6 yet on my side, perhaps you can test is, and tell us if it work correctly. I have no free time
PS: I think that Resco Eplorer should be suitable for you also - http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp
Hi Sinmae
I shall certainly give this prog a whirl...
In the meantime, it seems that the built in Explorer, once a drive is mapped, CAN re-connect via Wifi to it....... I've been using my Tytn as an MP3 play wirelessly... by listenning to my files on an external drive that is mapped as a share on my laptop, which in turn connects via wifi..... The HTC default earphones are to shabby either... & this is from someone who owns a set of Shures!!!
However it is a manual process to map... you cant' sniff out & browse shares that are already there on other network machines... you have to key them in & hope for the best. - Therefore the prog you suggest might be good.
Cheers
Al
Can I access files and folders on my network computers from my 8525 without buying additional software?
I used a network plugin i don't remember if it was on my kaiser rom or I found it somewhere on this forum. It let me map the drives on my network and then I could browse them using file explorer. Hope that helps you. Don't forget to upgrade to wm6.

Hi! Yes, you can. Please, try Total Commander for Pocket PC http://ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm - it's free for using, any licences & any fees. Good luck.
Hi.
I bought HD yesterday and its great but there are a few things that i cant do.
Is there any way to access the phone internall memory or SD card using wifi?
Ofcorse i can do it by usb but i have wifi networks at home, work, friends house and it would be much simpler to do it this way.
I succesfully connect to wlan and internet on phone works perfectly but cant find the way to transfer the files.
I tried typing IP adress of the device (ex: "\\192.168.1.4") like i would do to access another PC shared files but it wont work.
Never worked on WM before so its rather guesing than knowing how to do something but i assume that it is much alike normal win.
I just find out that i can browse my PC shared files using internet browser on HD but rather do it other way around (browsing on my PC files from HD and/or SD card.)

as far as i know. windows mobile doesn't natively support sharing/server. so you would need to run a third party application on your phone which acts like a server. actvesync used to let you sync using wifi, but not anymore.
I use "Total Commander" it's free and will enable you to see other drives on your LAN. You can even use/view two windows on your HD to drag and drop from your LAN to the SD card.
Yes, I also use Total Commander, it also does FTP. Get it here
its not exactly what i had in mind but it works good enough and its so much better than using browser
thx guys

yes, i believe the two above posts went a little tangent-didn't address your exact concern, but they are nice work around indeed. in that case, i offer my work around as well. I used Resco Explorer with FTP plug in, so you can transfer files to and fro.
Run a server like mochaFTP on your phone.
A simpler solution is not to use wifi at all, but to use bluetooth. Bluetooth 2.0 runs at about 100 kb/sec, which is not too bad for small file transfer and it integrates well with Windows.
See here for a tutorial: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=1028
Surur
unfortunately (or i should say fortunately?) i dont have bluetooth in my PC.
its simpler but also worse solution because it would take almost 15h to transfer a 700MB movie file with this transfer :O
I'll stay with totalcomander solution. Its simple, fast and its using wifi conection which i have access to almost everywhere i go
Hi everyone,
I am new here and the owner of a HTC Snap for about one month now. However, I was wondering if it is in any way possible to map network drives (linux and windows) from my home lan on my snap through WIFI?
I've been trying to google this, but couldn't find a definite answer on this issue.
Standard devices (non touch screen) lack the abiltity to browse a network. Total Commander will get you half way there, but instead of using the IP address use the NetBIOS. You will have to find an older version of TC, since the newest version has had the LAN connection removed for Smartphones.. Resco may still have it though
You can use Microsoft Live Mesh (the beta is open enrollment) goto www.mesh.com sign in then select add then at the bottom of the screen you will see a link that says something like "use mesh on your mobile phone" click that to get the .cab file, once installed onto your device you can connect to live mesh, which you can then set up to shared folders on your network.
Thnx for the reply. To bad that I can't set up any drive mapping and quite strange that Microsoft didn't implement such features while mobile phones have WIFI on them.
That live mesh seems like a handy solution though. However it looks to me like all the data passes through the internet, even when I'm at home. If this is the case then it wouldn't be a very feasable solution because it would take ages before I would have moved large files if my mobile phone operator is in between my data connection.

Yeah, that how it works (mesh over the internet) not the greatest solution but it will work. There are other options but most of them involve sending the data over the net.
Like I said, you can get it to work (drive mapping)
