Streaming over internet.

Is it possible to access my files / shares over the internet ? Whats the best program to use ? Are there any programs like RealVNC that offer file access options as well as remote control options ? If preferable something with a password that I can save on my wizard so I dont have to keep typing it in all the time.
I have wifi at work so want to be able to access my files that are at home while I am in work like my mp3's. Would they stream ok ?

I think you can stream your mp3s to your wizard if you run slimserver from slimdevices on your home pc and a client on your wizard (though I haven't tried it myself) - take a look at the forums on their website.

Actually is it streaming ? I just want access to my files, is that one in the same thing ?

Sorry, this is an app which (in effect) enables you to stream (ie play) a music file on your home pc (running slimserver) and listen to it remotely on a client device (e.g. your pda). It doesn't allow you to pick up the music file itself over the internet.

I can access the shares on my home PC over WiFI using Total Commander but I cant seem to play music directly. I have to copy it across first. It gives a funny error message in WMP if I try to stream it. I will post the error message later.

You would need a Static IP address on your Home broadband connection to do this, not many home broadband packages give you a static IP just a dynamic address that changes at whim.
Presuming you have a static IP you could then get yourself a DAMN good firewall and install Microsoft IIS on your PC to make it a webserver, then get yourself a domain name and point it at your PC. (slightly simplified example above there, but I'm sure you get the drift)
There are probably apps around to do this much sipler but you'd need to google for them. pretty sure that there is a specific version of VNC and PC anywhere that will do what you want

Well I could always just take a note of my pc ip address and as my pc is on a lot of the time it can remain the same for some time. Yeah I thought VNC could do something like that but there doesnt seem to be any option for it.

Static IP, pah!
www.dyndns.org (or many others) give your dynamic IP a static DNS name eg yourname.dyndns.org and then all you need to do is:
1) Manually update your IP
OR
2) Configure your router to update you IP (available on some routers)
OR
3) Get some software to update your IP (lots available, use google)
Now your home network has a static name to access it for any purpose - just change the port on the end
I have web on 80, ftp on 21 and a socks proxy all running - just need to forward the ports on the router

You need ORB!
I use it and can acces all my photo's, MP3's and even movies that are on my home-pc streaming over internet. It works even with GPRS, but with WIFI it works really great.

Isnt there some way of doing it with resco and your ip address ? maybe opening a really obscure port on the router and firewall ? Not sure how those companies work but im a little concerned about my data going through their servers which I presume it is ?
Would just be so much simpler if there was some way of doing it with resco like I do on my home wifi.

Streaming Media Files from your PC to Universal WM5

I found a way to stream my media files and listen and view it o my Pocket PC with windows media encoder.
Download the file and follow the steps.

I just attach a network drive and run mp3 or avi directly from wm10 or tcpmp.
A version of the excellent freeware GSFinder has ben designed for the universal:
http://mkawa.dyndns.org/Soft/GSfinder/GSFinderE/GSFinder-U.exe
It allows easy attachment of network drives.

and from anywhere ?
Good but is there a way to stream a mp3 from a computer if I'm connected to another network ? (not my local network)
For example I'm with some friends, connected with wifi, but not in my home. Then I tell them "hey, have you listened to this song ? Wait a minte, I connect to my computer and I stream it directly on my pocket pc ! "
I would love that kind of feature !

yes, if mark your home PC on your router as a DMZ or open the appropriate ports to the streaming PC. You will also need to know your ASDL/cable IP address.
Note that this is generally inadvisable as it leaves your home network open to attack.
A much easier and better way of doing it is to buy/own 3rd party website storage (i.e. on your ISP). then download the MP3s you wish to share onto this, so they can be played from anywhere on the Internet.

Colonel, thanks for this info, but please could you also tell us how to configure the network drive settings in GSFinder? It asks for "Remote" and "Local Name" settings when you select "Network Connect" - what information needs to go into those boxes? I've tried IP addresses, device names etc but I haven't found the right combination yet.
Mach

Remote name is \\PC name on the network\share drive.
You need to know the 'full computer name' of the PC. (Start --> Control panel --> System --> Computer name)
You then need to make a share drive. Goto the folder/drive you want to share in windows explorer. Right click on the drive and select share and share this folder. You will be asked to enter share name.
Then what you type in remote name on the pocket pc is:
\\pcname\sharename
The local name can be anything you want. It will appear on your pocket pc under windows explorer or gsfinder under a folder called network on the root.
I would suggest you uses windows help or search the internet if you need more info. There is loads around

Hi
Thanks a lot for your input.
I can stream over loacl WIFI quite easily from my Dell PDA. But when i try the same in WM5 on the XDA Exec, it seems to want to connect through the GPRS connection and then it will stream the music. I think its sending data to GRPS and hence charges!!! Why doe it need to do this? If im connected to my WIFI, its should stream without any GPRS connection. Anyone else get this? Thanks

Mapping to Network Attached Storage - Please help!!!

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

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

Wifi and what to do wif it

can you use wifi to send files like bluetooth or can u browse other wifi cable phones or pc file system or hard drive what can you do with two wifi fonez can you lyk ad hoc the 127.0.0.1 to share filez or something like that

I have tried accessing my networked PCs and it works if you use Resco Explorer. Couldn't get it to work with the standad File Explorer.

There is almost nothing you can do with two WiFi phones.
You can connect them with ad-hoc network but Windows Mobile does not have the server components for file sharing.
I use Total commander to access files on my PC and even controlled it with remote desktop.
I had no problem accessing shared files on network with the built in explorer but it worked a lot slower then TC. Some kind of delay in the protocol or something.

How The Heck Do U DO That ConnecTin Via Wifi
CAn U Explain How To Get Resco Explorer Or Total Commander Since I have Never You Used Wifi Before I Can Pick Up Wifi signals From Nokia Devuces All Over And at My School Theres Some Sort OF signal Coming From the Offices and my fone picks the up 3 diffrent ones but when i press connect nothing happens can You Tell Me how i can Connect it to access files on a pc when the 2.0GHZ Signal Is Unencrypted I Went To Resco Explorer But theres No Wifi Options anywhere and This One Company said its Creating a applications to allow file transfer via wifi checkHERE! i Dont Know how thats possible can u connect to lets say a psp or Nentendo DS Or Iphonw or any Wifi enabled Device. Whats The Difference Between wiMAX and wifi coz they both use 2.0ghz? Wha does WIFI Stand For It Cannot Be Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Tankz Yall

Wow thats a lot of questions!
Ok, in order:
1) Just because you see a WiFi signal does not mean you can connect to its source!
It could be another device (mobile / laptop / PC) that does not allow you to connect to it.
The network could be secure so you need a key.
The network could show as "unsecure" but use MAC (thats hardware address) filter so only authorized devices can connect to it.
2) If you managed to establish a connection, it does not mean you can access anything!
To transfer files from PC to Mobile using total commander you need the HD/partition/folder where the files reside to be shared and have the rights to access that share. (On windows PC you can right click a disk or folder and select 'file sharing'). Than you just access a network folder. In total commander for example, you click on the '\\' (top in the file list) then 'LAN', then enter a network path and password if needed.
To serf the internet the network you are connected to must be connected to the internet and allow computers on it access. You may need to manually enter gateway or proxy settings for that network.
3) I did not see any WiFi related tool in the link you provided. In any case it all depends on what software is on the device you are trying to connect to. If there is a server for sharing files (like on PC running win XP) than you can transfer files or you may need a special server program for that device.
4) WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity - that means the connection is reliable and unlike with analog radio signal which you might here distorted if the reception is not good your data will get through correctly or not at all.
5) WiMax does not work on the same frequency range as WiFi and it is designed for much higher data transfer rates.
You can read all about it here.

That's called theft and illegal intrusion of a computer network. People go to prison for that.

Yes it is very much possible.
Hi guys,
I am extreamly happy to say that i have been able to share files from one windows mobile to another windows mobile that too at the speed of up 450kbps.
i had been trying to do this for atleast 2.5 months with no luck(u may check the related topics, nobody had a idea, Even using xda, google, bing, yahoo, altavista found that nobody has done it before...) but yesterday i made it to work the way i wanted to.
All you need to do is create a adhoc connection(e.g P2P) and download FTP server (Yes your mobile will act as a FTP server) and FTP client.
For FTP server download mochasoft and for FTP Client download resco.
**Once you install resco 2008, go to menu-->options-->addins--> then download ftp plugging(and it will make resco to work as a ftp client)
Mobile A
Start--->settings-->connections-->add new ->name it p2p-->select the option "this is a device-to-device connection(adhoc)...once it is done, turn on wifi on Mobile B it will detect this connections, connect to it.....Now two mobiles are connected with each other via wifi(Without router).....Till this point you can find it in google.
Now to share files open mocha soft on Mobile A(It will show that it is "online" with a specific IP address(Note down this ip address), Anonymous login will be on but preferabaly create a user name (File--->settings--> Add[*give it a read/write permission]) and the password.
Then decide for yourself what exactly you wanna share with the other mobile, in this example i am going to share my SD CARD. Go to file -->settings--> other--> and in the "Login Folder:" put in "\\storage card"
Once that's done open up resco ftp on Mobile B. Go to My ftp locations-->New ftp session--Give a name to ftp session (like abcd), In the host type in the ip address address that you noted down earlier--> let the port 21-->Login:ut in the username that you created-->Password: put in the password
and Hey there you go!!!, you will have the Sd Card of Mobile A and you will be working on it as if it is in your own

....Cont...
On mobile A moccha will notify you that a user has logged on to your server. You can use all FTP commands on mochasoft.
I downloaded the 700Mb movie which was stored in my frnds mobile while we were having beer and it got downloaded at the speed of 450kbps(it started off with 350kbps and was fluctuating from 380 to 450kbps), Just before doing this i tried to copy a 10mb file using bluetooth and resco showed the speed 20kbps........
So next time when you go out to meet your frnds you can transfer all their stuff at the lightning speed via WIFI file sharing......
Good Luck!!

How to browse the internet using Wi-Fi?

Resco explorer allows accessing and mapping network shares.

resco also allows FTP access, which is probably better, as the network share requires you to be on the same network (for example connected to your wireless network)
FTP can be accessed anywhere you have data connection but requires you to be running FTP software on your computer.
FTP is very easy to setup and use and will allow you to have access to any file folder that you choose on your PC (handy to have a choice of over 30gig of music to listen to )

Schaps Network plugin. Google it.

Ftp looks great
thank you

or use total commander it can browse your network share files...

I have Resco Explorer 2010, paid for.
Also Total Commander CE, which someone mentioned.
GSFinder+ as well.
Yet, I cannot figure out how to do that.
Connected to my home network via wi-fi. The PC's hard drives are set up to be shared. One PC can access the files of another.
I can't figure out how the HD2 can see the PC's files. Can anyone give me exact directions, using any of the tools mentioned?
--------------
Also, conversely, is there a way to set up the HD2 for file sharing, so that the PC can access it via the wi-fi network?
