Remote map drive, please help～～～

the Resco explorer is a such powerful software which allowed ueser to visit the shared folder in the LAN which you are currently connected.
I browse files such as pictures videos and doc with this function (remote desktop cant watch videos or copy files to the PPC)
Just want to know is there anyway to map drive from outside of LAN????

you mean over vpn ?
because there have to be a lan connection to map drivers
but it can be a virtuel one like vpn

EX: My device is connected to network A, there is a folder in network B I want to open by Resco explorer.

mapping of drive require the network to be ms network compatible
one cant just map a filesystem over pure tcp/ip

Accessing NAS drives on WM6.....

Hi, Im trying to access a Maxtor Shared Storage II drive connected to my wireless router. Im using WM6 on my Hermes.
Im using resco explorer 2005 and when I 'MAP network drive' it isnt visable in the list, but other computers I have connected are visable and I can read and write to them.
I also tried to manually configure to the IP of the NAS, but still no go.
The only thing I can think of is the drive is being reported as using NT server 4.9 when the icons that are on a computer, are right clicked on , and this looks like it isnt supported on WM6.
Any thoughts anyone???
Cheers
Chris.

HTC WM6 as member of Windows LAN workgroup via WIFI

I have a new AT&T Tilt and I've just installed a WIFI access point on my home/office LAN. My WIFI laptop was simple to configure as member of the Windows WORKGROUP. I've been struggling with my TILT. Some questions:
1) Is this supposed to work?
2) How do you assign the TILT to a workgroup?
3) I can see other workgroup PCs from the TILT, but I cannot see the TILT from other PCs. I am able to ping the TILT from a PC both by ip address and by device name (which happens to be "tilt").
Thanks for any help,

From what I understand you want to be able to browse phone files over wifi?

Yes. On any LAN PC, I would like to click on "My Network Places" and see the WM6-Phone listed with the other WORKGROUP computers. Then I would like to be to click on it to browse its directorys. And also drag & drop files to/from the phone. Thanks.

Not sure that's going to work unless you can find some other way of connecting other than by using Activesync

I understand the "Not sure that's going to work..." part. I don't follow the "unless you can find some other way...". I'm not using Activesync (at the moment) I wish to use a WIFI Access Point to join a LAN WorkGroup. I call that "some other way". It would seem that this desire would be widely shared by the wider community of users. It's a logical thing to want to do. There are enough parameters to tweek that given the proper expertise, I would guess that you could connect anything to anything else. I just don't have the expertise so I thought I would pose the question...

As far as i know, windows mobile doesn't include a smb (file) server. You have only a client. This means that you can browse your desktops' shares from the phone but not the contrary.
Windows CE 5.0 and 6.0 actually have a smb server but i think this is not shipped with the Mobile variant.
Unless you find some 3rd party software of course (i don't know of any but i've never really looked for it).
Bye
EDIT: if you want to be able to share files in the PPC with the desktops in the network, you can install a FTP server in your PPC. Then you can use a ftp client on the desktop to browse the PPC.
Try this one: http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ftpd.htm

Nice solution. Thank you.

Seeing LAN shares with Tilt
I have the same goal (to share both ways between Tilt and LAN), but some additional issues.Have had the Tilt for only one day, so forgive me for any dumb questions!.
Can't even see the LAN shares from the tilt (nor the other way around). The phone indicates it is connected to our WiFI, and other LAN PCs can see another's share \\Titan for eg., but when I type //Titan into the Tilt browser it says it can't connect to that. Any suggestions why?
I wondered if its a syntax problem. Seems the Tilt does not have a reverse slash (\), but I would think forward slash (/) should work equally well.
In some circumstances, the phone invites logging into a VPN, but we dont have one established on our LAN. Would this facilitate sharing files? Does setting one up require running a server or is a simple Peer to Peer network sufficient? If so, how do you set one up?
Once I am sure I hve a Wifi connection I will try the ftp client solution.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks

File Sharing over a Network

Does anybody how i could access my Pocket PC from my PC over the network. I could do it vice versa through Resco but i can't do Pocket PC from PC nor Pocket PC to Pocket PC. Any ideas? I would like it to happen just how the PC does it, with no major add-ons. I don't want to have to deal with VNC, FTP, etc. So if you know, i'd really like to know the answer. Thanks

I was looking for the same thing and haven't been able to find anything.
(I know you said u didn't want to use FTP)
So far the only thing I have been able to find for this is an FTP solution.

I can access the local network from the phone, but apparently there is no SMB server available for Wm6

Why can't you just use the explorer function of ActiveSync?

There are multiple reasons for wanting to access your device from the network. I myself am using multiple machines and would like to drag and drop files from my phone without having to get a bluetooth dongle and install active sync on every one of those machines.
If anyone has setup a smb server for wm6 i'd love to know, also if anyone has any other recommendations for a good ftp server that mocha one doesn't run in the background properly and the bottom toolbar for it stays on my today screen.

Not exactly what you're after, but I've seen a web server for WinMo around somewhere...
Or maybe something along the lines of a VNC client?

Yea, there are reasons for the networking thing. I have several devices on the network and i would life to get a NAS device. I don't want to go to the trouble of setting up ftp/vnc. Mapping the device using Resco works GREAT. For some reason, my laptop can't find my Tilt when i search for devices on the network and i was thinking maybe it was because it didn't have the same workgroup name?

useful for sure
Assuming you're on the LAN with WiFi, what happens when you port-scan your device's IP?

Not sure what you mean by port-scan but when i go to file explorer on my laptop and type \\ip of tilt, it gives me some error. I'm really trying to look into this and most advice is using vnc and another program which i don't want.

I don't think you're understanding when i said wm6 doesn't have a SMB server running.
Basically, it isn't running the microsoft networking services to access the file shares. You wont get it to work unless you get some sort of SMB daemon(server) for the phone, which to my knowledge doesn't exist.
look up SMB in wikipedia and u will understand what im talking about.

If using Resco to map shares, will you be able to play media (music, movies) over the wlan then, or will it not be fast enough?
I'm assuming that mediaplayer in wm6 won't have a problem playing from shares...or am I wrong?

I kind of got this resolved. Not the way i really wanted it, but now i use Pocket Controller Enterprise and it does this. Really nice features, i could connect to anybody in the world, just need their host name.

Doesn't the desktop version of total commander do this? The only problem is the desktop version isn't free...

Working Vnc client for Win 7 64 bit in Honycomb?

I have tried almost every vnc client, from pro to regular to work in my Transformer without any luck!
I had VNC viewer working fine in my Desire HD alsaw using win 7 64..but with the transformer and honycomb nothing works!!!!!

Strange. On my tablet every one I tried worked! You could also try RDP clients, they should be faster. Maybe it's something with your firewall? I had a problem with that - connecting to DRP rebooted my PC.

I'm using PocketCloud. Works perfectly from any internet connection on my TF.
edit: I am using RDP too.

Are we talking about W7 64 edition?
i cant get any damn app to work with it..
its not firewall.. same apps works on my DHD
I used remote desktop 2.8
android vnc
pocket cloud
remote vnc pro
regular vnc

Yea I'm using 64-bit and 32-bit.
edit: Are you using 3G on your Desire? Your TF is going through WiFi i take it. Could be the firewall in your router. Mine supports UPnP, so I didn't have to open any ports for RDP.

using wifi..upnp..

1) What VNC server software are you using on the Windows 7 64bit host?
2) Are you on the same physical network and same subnet in that network?
3) On the Windows 7 host, are you using the "Work", "Home group" or "Public" networks?
4) Are you using Windows firewall or a third party firewall, like Norton or McAffe?
Sorry, no answers, but these might poke you into the answer.
Cheers and good luck,
Jeff

tightvnc on the machine, androidvnc on the tab, connectbot for ssh tunnel, no issues.

PocketCloud doesn't require you be on the same local network, so I know that can't be stopping it.
Did you check out PocketCloud's Troubleshooting section, they have some good FAQs about it.
