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. :?
Cheers

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

Hi Guys,
what is this sharing stuff u r talking about?
Please excuse me for this newbee question but i want to know about what sort of sharing etc can i do with my Exec and Laptop, like exploring files on laptop from Exec or other way around?
My laptop has Windows XP sp2 and i use wireless router to share my broadband
many thnx......
Jatt
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...

Ok,
How should I do to "Share" an dir on my Wizard so a computer on the LAN can access it with \\myipadress\share ?
And how do I get access to a share from an other computer on the LAN?
And is there any good apps that let me run a webserver & ftp server on my Wizard?
Thanks!
// MIKKE
i dont think you can share folders on your wizard and connect from a PC.
You can connect to shares on your PC "from" your wizard though over Wifi. You can easily do it using resco file explorer, just make sure your wizard has an ip address from your wireless router.
You can use ShareIt FTP as an FTP server on your pocketpc.

If tou want to share via HTML, get PicoWebServer, it is free.

Hey Aikon
Its possible to install apache, mysql, php and some libs on Wizard?
Br
hey.
on my Dopod, how do i enable my other computers to view folders and files on the pocket pc ???
what ip and settings do i need to do ??
i can view files and folders from the dopod but how do i view it from my pc ????
cheers
Do you want network shares, or just file level access?
Personally I'd run an FTP server on your PDA and connect through.
V
Agree....
I run an FTP server on the PPC when I need to access quickly from the desktop. That works great.
how do i do that ???
Google for Freefloat FTP Server, I think it will help. I was searching for the access too, and it helped so good luck.
By the way, its freeware so wont be hard to find.
hi
can anyone tell me how can i send files between 2 pda devices over Wifi?
i already know how to transfer files between a computer and my pda ,because i can enable file sharing on windows pc very easy and it is not a problem.
The real problem is how to enable file sharing on a Folder ON MY PPC DEVICE (WIN 6)?
Thanks in advance
ok
i think my question is so hard on you otherwise at least tell me it is not possible
You can do this via bluetooth.
As for wifi, try wmwifirouter
Not work
this software did not help me in transferring files , it only allow me to share my 3g connectiom
I Think It Seem Impossible
some time ago i found a ftp server for ppc
with that you should be able to host the files on the ftp server and download it from the other ppc with an ftp client

but this will need internet access which is not always there
i would also like to do this, transfering files over bluetooth is so sloooooow, anyboby know if it is possible?
It's doable and it has been implemented successfully.
1. create a new pc-to-pc (adhoc) connection on two ppcs with the same name and set both the connctions on the two ppcs to this mode.
2. Set the configurations of the wireless network card. IP: 192.168.0.x, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Now the two devices can see earch other in all wireless networks. Connect them. What you need next is server programs to provide file sharing/transfering service.
3. Install wmftp on one ppc, and set up account/password/port...
4. Now the second ppc should be able to co share files on the first via ftp service.
Hi
Anyone know where the ftp server configuration files are or how to configure?
I got an IP camera which I want to upload images automatically but it requires a username/password.
Any help would be great

I don't understand really understand what you need but if you want to connect you to a ftp server use an app like solid explorer then enter ip adress etc
both have to be connect to the same network

Hey
The mojo has a FTP server either inbuilt or part of the guid downloads.
The username is anonymous and password is guest as per standard.
It uses the internal 16GB sdcard0 root folder.
Very simple, works fine.
I guess if I need something more complex I'll find something else.
cheers
