I have tried both the Windows File Explorer as well as the Resco File Explorer to map a network hard drive. I have tried both \\share\share as well as \\192.168.1.1\share. I am unable to map ANY network hard drives. I AM able to connect to shared network computers or the drives that are shared by those computers, but no stand alone hard drives. Please...any advice would be much appreciated.

Try this.. I use this.. Works for me.
Network Drives
I have no problems connecting via WiFi to my Terrastation attached to my home network. I use the same name as I use on my desktops: \\mainstorage\share.
Leo:
Thank you. That worked fine...1st try.
for resco etc.
Click the "Map Drive" Button
Then click the Menu Button.
Click Settings and select the IP range that does not match your local ip and delete it. Solves this problem for me.

I have been trying to use jetcet with a network printer but it is unable to connect to the network (or see the printer). Can anyone help on this?
Thanks,
almost...
I got as far as getting a document into a network print queue then it jammed up the spooler "remote level download"
I didn't have much of a problem assigning the ptirinter though.
How far have you got?
I have tried to find my networked printer by using the 'search' button in the printer configuration process but I get the response network error. I have also tried to specify the printer by using the 'add' printer tab, specifying the make and path and then trying to print a test page, but I get the response no printer found (or something like that).
In short, I haven't made much progress....you are certainly ahead of me.
TRy direct addressing
I'm assuming you've turned on printer sharing already and shared the printer.
Enter the printer as \\hostname\printersharename
Assuming its a shared printer from a pc:
The host name will be in the full computer namer of the pc hosting the printer.
Right click on My Computer, Select properties, select computer name tab, look for the full computer name
Printersharename will be whatever you've set the printer sharename to be.
Select start/printers and faxes, right click on the printer, slect properties and loook on sharetab for name.
If you've done all that and still cant get the printer in try checking your windows firewall settings to ensure printer sharing is in the exceptions list.
If you've got thrid party firewalls they proably need configuring.
UHm ...interesting. How to configure to share my Epson Stylus CX5400 via WiFi router?
THX!
Thanks for your help inframan but I followed your instructions carefully and still I get the reply "network error" when I trey to print a test page.

Epson stylus hanging off a pc?
Stylus CX5400 appears to be on the list of supported printers so you should be able to add it in jetcet using the technique above to identify the share.
Yes, I have mapped shared drives using Resco explorer and easily transfer files and music, etc. Is there some other way to map drives besides Resco explorer that I should be using?

And it should work via WiFi too? Is wifi supported as well?

Yes, thats what I meant.
I have actually managed to use jetcet print print this evening via Wifi to an old Epson inkjet so it is possible.
Quality is lousy on the ancient inkjet though. Would really like to get it to work with my HP laserjet. I've sent westek a support request.

No just wanted to check you do actually have the basic network functionality worked out.
If you are accessing the network ok and setting it up as described then I'm afraid I dunno why its not working. I've only just managed to get it to work completely for me this evening albeit on a rubbush printer.
How much free memory are you showing?
I havn't played with it yet but sometimes PocketPC's have problems resolving NetBios names so try \\<ip address>\printershare. So instead of using the computer's name, try the IP address for the computer. See if that works for you.
I have tested several configurations but I can't get it to work. I am using a Netgear WiFi DG834GT Router and I can see my net with Resco Explorer...but I can't with printer application...
Any farder suggestion?
I have now tried everything suggested so far without success. Somehow I think my device is unable to see the network except through Resco explorer. I say this because when I use sktools to show network drive in standard file explorer I get the icon entitled Network but no contents inside.
Still hoping for some way to solve my problem. Thanks,

Same problem of mine...
worth trying vxutils..
to check if you can ping etc? Netbios can be tricky its true.
I have used logmein and remote desktop succesfully have created a vpn and connected but have not found a succesful way to read and write files on a remote computer or drive. I couldn't even see computers through the vpn but the host computer aknowledged the connection if anyone has any clue what direction i need to go to figure this out it would be very helpful.
thanks
two options;
1) Check your firewall
2) Check if you share your files correctly and that they are writable by other network users.
have you succesfully pulled this off and viewed the other computers on the network or the hosts drive and if so what program did you use to view the drives thanks for the quick response
This seems to be a problems for all I guess... no solution so far... =S

i feel like their has to be a program that will view network drives or browse them like network manager on your pc does i just hate how unadvanced total commander or any of the mappers out their are makes it harder for me to trouble shoot.
Hay all i have a question that i hope someone can help with. On my phone i turn on the wifi switch. i go into Resco Explorer and map the drive of my main desktop machine. It logs on fine and i can see all the files but it will not allow me to view or open them. So i go into File Explorer and choose Menu>Open Path and i enter in the "path" that was displayed in Resco. I have tried this several different ways and i keep getting the same error as follows:
Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.

As i mentioned i now have several non working paths showing up that i can not get rid of and i still cannot view my files. So if someone could either please point me in the right direction or help out in the connection and getting rid of the non-working paths would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

By any chance how are you login into your system? By the remote desktop powertoy? Logmein website? Did you disable infrastructure mode on your router to view other systems in your network? Telnet? or just a VPN? or other?

sorry i am very confused! i recently upgraded my router and now when i go into resco to map the drive i see a list of computers near me. with what seams like a bagillion computers and phones other than mine. as far as logging in, i basically just flip the wi-fi switch and i just to my home network. i can see the router assigns an ip address as well...sorry for the nooby response! but i do appreciate your reply.
does anyone have any ideas or can maybe walk me through being able to set it up to work?
has anyone mapped a network drive using their HD?
I cant seem to do it
Iv got a network HardDrive attached to my router and i can access it by typing \\STORAGE\ in my computer. I was then able to right click one of the folders and then map it as drive Z which appears in My Computer now. Iv done this for all my computers.
Is it possible to do this with the Touch HD
I have done but used Resco Explorer to do so. It also took several goes to get the syntax correct - I seem to recall I didn't need to reference the workgroup but I did need to get the name of the share absolutely correct.
It can be done, so stick with it. This was over wifi incidentally
Total Commander 2.51 works great (not to mention free) on the HD and the nice part is you can view two file explorer windows at once. Makes it super easy to drag and drop from a NAS drive right onto the HD.
will resco explorer or total commander be able to run/open files from the network harddrive or will the files have to be copied to the device?
thanx for your help
how to add network share using Resco File Explorer on HTC Touch HD
hi guys,
I have got same problem. I am using Synology NAS Server and have video folder as a default share. Ip address is 192.168.0.99 and server name is
MYDISKSTATION.
On my Touch HD I'm using Resco Explorer. When I click on Network -> add new folder it doesn't let me add video folder using either name or Ip.
I've tried \\192.168.0.99\video and \\MYDISKSTATION\video and none of them works. it says not available.
Could someone enlighten me on this area please.
Cheers guys.
Hi how can i share via wifi pc directories with my hd2? Setup/instructions? programs? Thanks!
You can map drives over to your HD2 in order to view video's and play mp3's ect... Get Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/ ) as it has a Network Browser that will allow you to view your network and map drives.

running resco explorer seen network item but i couldn´t get connection to my pc name and a shared directory (ex. \\pcname\$c) must i disable firewalls or anything else to get communication established?
Normally you'll need to disable the firewall on your system (if it's running windows firewall as it does sometimes affect the connection).
Just double checking the method that you are using to connect, with Explorer open do the following:
Click on Menu - File -Network - Map Drive. Now give a few moments and it should show you a list of "Computers Near Me". Once you see your computer you should be able to click the plus sign next to it and automatically see all of it's shares.
Also just to double check, you should be trying to connect to "\\pcname\C$" and not \\pcname\$C" although i'd recommended not going for the root of your drive and just mapping a different shared folder.
I am sharing files from a NAS over LAN too. Using Resco Explorer 2010 to browse the files works great for me. Actually, being able to browse Windows share is the reason I paid for Resco Explorer.
If you have another PC, try confirming you can really access the share from another Windows PC.
Thanks a lot i will give a try and response with results ;-))
I use resco, and although I can manually map shares buy typing in \\comp\drive, and they stay mapped and work fine, I've never yet managed to get resco to actually list the shares in the my network section. no idea why, all my machines are discoverable etc.
