Hi all,
I love this phone! However, all my computers at home run Win7 and are on a homegroup network. I am unable to access this network through resco explorer though!
Any ideas on how to get this setup working?
Have you turned on Password Protected Sharing in 7's Network and Sharing Center?
Can you access non homegroup shares with other devices (eg maybe friends laptop) without joining the homegroup?
I run Win 7, but I don't use homegroup functionality on my LAN - Resco maps the drive just fine.
Grtz

Damn, homegroup is good in terms of security.. looks like i'd have to disable it to get full network access for all non-homegroup devices..

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......

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...

Hi every one,
im using V-Mobile Software Network Browser on my k-jam to try to connect to my wireless network, so far im having no luck. i can connect to the internet ok but when i use Network Browser it just shows my network as unknown and does not list any of the computers on the network. has anyone had any luck with connecting to there wireless network to access resources on there computer if so please let me know how lol.
Thx
After a lot of fiddling about and a great deal of searching on these forums, (which takes forever trying to figure out how other people have reffered to ones problem) Yes, Resco Explorer, there is a manual on their website which explains how to map network drive. But easier and free, internet explorer, in address bar type //your machine name and return.
This of course assumes you have set up a shared folder and guest usage on your pc. Aleternatively you can just bang your head on the keyboard for 2 days until you don't care anymore! Which was my first course of action.

Top tip but it does not seem to work on my Vario... that been said I wonder if you create a short cut if you can by pass IE altogether ?

i know its an obvious solution, but as you dont say you have done it already:
[*] Assuming you are ruinning winXP - run the network setup wizard and enable file & print sharing (and share a folder or 2)
[*] If not running XP, either use the XP wizard (if you have an XP CD or friend who has one) or manually setup wookgroup LAN, enable file & print sharing and share a folder
Oh, and make sure you dont have any firewalls getting in the way (windows XP inbuilt one "should" automatically open the file sharing when the network wizard is run)

... I think what it is that I have a VERY secure network / domain here ( Deal with IT security you see )... so if I remove security I'll bet it will work.. just not had time to try.

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

Hi,
Is it possible for my WM6.1 device to join my LAN Workgroup such that I can view the files on my PPC from my desktop computer and drag and drop files over to the PPC via WIFI? Kind of like using the PPC as a NAS device?
Thanks in advance

Yes and No
To my knowledge no. i believe that microsoft stopped allowing that feature within active sync quite awhile ago, but what i have managed to do is to create a computer to computer network (ad-hoc) where my PDA was the access point and my laptop could then connect to that.
I could transfer files using explorer on my phone to access my network drives on the laptop, then copy and paste from there, but i could not find my phone on the laptop due to it not having shared folders to my knowledge.
The things i would like to achieve is shared internet over wifi by using the phone as an access point and to figure out how to access files on phone on the laptop. Not the other way round.
When i created this computer to computer network i thought that if i had 3G connected it would automatically pick up the connection on the laptop but i was wrong.
Which means i am no expert on the matter, but im sure there is a way
the same rules goes for pda's on the same net as for other computers
if they got the correct rights to access shared dirs
it can access them and map them if one use programs like total commander
and know a bit about network in generals not really that user friendly i guess
It can be done, I use a program called WMFTP. Google it.
Yea i get some of it

Some of it i get but others bits i dont. Like is it possible to set sharing rights to directory's on the phone? If that is possible great.
Also how do you find out the device name or would you have to use the ip address for mapping those directory's?
I have a touch diamond and would love to map the internal storage on my network, but have failed at that.
Still not figured how to share the internet connection of the phone over wifi either
Hey guys..
I am trying to connect to my VPN so that i will be able to view some webcams i have on several shops.
I can connect to the VPN without no problem but as soon as i open ANY browser (opera internet explorer... etc..) i get disconnected.
Any ideas??

I have been looking into doing this but i have not been able to even connect to the VPN server at the mo. I will try again later and report back.
Some i found about vpn on usenet with windows mobile phones/pda...
I wasnt able eighter to get it going myself...

I have been using Hamachi and VNC Server. I can access and control my Pc from my HD2 and TYTn.
This combination has worked very well for me. I can watch my webcam from the phone and see what my dog is doing . Besides I can access my shared folders and listen to music, etc.
Hamachi by itself will be enough to establish a VPN connection and access your shared folders.

Hello,
you are writing that you can connect VPN on your HD2. Please, what software do you use? Can you upload it there? Because I want to connect from my HD2 to OpenVPN server, if it is possible.
Thank you for your reply!
Hi,
I use Hamachi as my VPN. Once you install Hamachi on your PC you can access it using the Hamachi mobile client.
Here is the to the Hamachi Mobile Client https://secure.logmein.com/labs/
I use VNC viewer for connecting to my RealVNC server. Here is the link to the original post that took me to the VNC viewer cab. I hope it helps

Hi everyone .
sorry to ask you guys but im new here and im so confused !
can anyone please explain to me how can i connect to a vpn with Hd2 .
i dont see any option to choose that when im connecting to the internet with my wifi connection ,so please help me .
Hamachi is not VPN, it goes through some 3rd party servers, so it isn't safe. OpenVPN should be okay.
a quick clarification to your statement:
google.fi/search?hl=fi&defl=en&q=define:Hamachi&sa=X&ei=-fdiTJGJN4OQjAfU3uCWAQ&ved=0CBYQkAE
the 3rd party server is only use for the initial negotiation of the connection between Pcs.
Hi there!
I've got OpenVPN installed and working perfectly
You can get it here:
http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-files.htm
I installed the german 2.1.0 version. Works almost perfect.
The only thing is, i have to disable htc sense to see the small icon located in a kind of task bar on the bottom of the screen. Does anybody know a workaround to access this Icon without turning htc sense off for the home screen?
This would be perfect.
Best regards
