Is there anyway to sync my hd2 with my ps3 wirelessly or usb device. If it can just recognize just the external memory card that would be good. It just comes up has unknown device. Is there anyway around this
basically, there are 2 ways:
1. connect you phone as a usb drive. this is done by selecting usb drive mode under usb to pc section in settings.
2. this one is a bit tricky. you need to have both ps3 and hd2 connected to the same local network (wifi is good also). now, install a dlna server on the hd2 - use the one that was extracted from the omnia 2 or pocket player with the upnp plugin installed. configure the server you have installed. on the ps3 you need to enable the media client option (don't remmember the exact term). it is located under the network settings. now, on the ps3, goto any section you like (pics, music, video) and select search for media server. you should see that it has found the server. scroll down to the server and browse it like any other folder you have on your ps3. good luck!

Hi,
From my PDA I can access the internet over the USB connection by having pass through on activesync set to the internet on the PC.
I would like to be able to access shared folders on my PC from my PDA over the USB connection. Is this possible. If it has to go over activesync that's ok.
BTW: My PDA is a Magician.
Thanks,
Stekke.
Z2 PocketLan
Best way is through 3rd Party software Z2 PocketLan, will even create shortcuts. Will work over wifi, BT, Activesync etc as use it at home to stream music to PDA
the new total commander is also good
totalcommander explicitely states in the faq that over USB through active sync is not supported.
I've tried pocketlance but can't get it to connect.
Other suggestions?
Hi forum,
I have a WiFi Connection in my office premisis & was womdering if I could create a VPN or a similar p2p connection between my laptop & my universal...
Any comments or ideas..
Thanx,
mOrph
yes you can
but not an activesync connection.
you basically have to get on the WIFI network (VPN not necessary unless you are external of the network and/or behind firewalls).
then its a question of what you want to do, the WIFI network gets you on to it using WEP or WPA SPK I think (we use WEP at home and work).
if you want to connect to your laptop, create a mapped drive then you can copy and paste backwards and forwards.
you can run terminal server to control your PC or connnect to a terminal server, or connect to SBS with administrator priverlidges.
The question is, if you connected, what do you want to do. You cannot activesync, but you might like to try streaming music or other bandwidth consuming activities...
ok
got your PM.
Question: If you created the connection using WIFI between your laptop and your PDA, what do you want to do/achieve?

Hi
Answer:
Hi Simon... The reason i was wanting to connect my laptop & my ppc through Wifi is that i cannot activesync (like you already know).
I was thinking maybe i can have a data trasfer between the devices if nothing else.
Is that possible?
If not, what can the connection be used for?
Thanx buddy,
mOrph
Activesync cannt be done over WIFI, 2003 allowed it not WM2005.
You can share a folder on your PC, and thus place files in and out of that using WIFI. Generally though, I found it more efficient to use an SD card with a USB memory reader to transfer files, much quicker read/write. Usually I want to put pictures or videos back the other way anyway. some pc's and laptops come with memory card readers anyway.
ON your PC' find a folder, right mouse click and share it with a share name. Make sure you know the name of the machine, eg my computers name is TLA-DELL1 for work, and home is the name of my daughter. If you havent named your machine it will have some dodgy obscure pathetic name issued by the manufacturer. You can get this from system in control panel.
On your PDA, start your WIFI.
Using Resco explorer hopefully you have it, map a net work drive. You can try the standard file explorer, but I dont like it. Total commander can also do it. In the share address use:
\\computername\foldersharename
note the double backslash.
Enter usernames and passwords as appropriate.
Now, the pain in the arse bit.... do you have a firewall? This is where it can get tricky.
The other thing you can do is if you are running XP Pro (if not, I recommend it), you can also go into control panel > system on the tab called remote connection, you can tick a box that allows you to take control and use your machine on your PDA using Terminal Server. This allows you to access all the resources and facilities that your machine has as if you were sitting at the console, including the power and processing speed of your computer.
Only downside, the screen is much much smaller than your computer, so getting around it can be painful.
Once you have enabled your machine to allow the connection, its simply a matter of starting wifi, programs > terminal services, and enter the IP address or computer name of your laptop to connect to it, and it should open then a log on name for you to start using your machine.
A further feature, which I dont use and cannot advise how to, but read about it here, is to "stream" mp3's from your laptop to your PDA so you can play music on your PDA based upon music on your machine rather than having to copy it.
In relation to sending files to your computer, if all else fails, I ahve two extra email accounts on my PDA a hotmail account, a POP3 account, and if in times of need, a GMAIL account, all of which allow me to email particular files anywhere I want using any WIFI connection. I use this when all else fails.....
Hence my question, what did you want it for....
Dont worry mate, we'll get there... one day. We just have to challenge MS, and what is life without a challenge or 100 from MS.
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
So what are some good software that I can use to connect to a computer a browser the files on the computer, watch the videos on it and listen to the music on it. Like xp/vista and osx does. What about software that lets me connect to some ones WMP or itunes play list? Thank you.
so anyone?
u can use Resco or something similar to access the shared files from ur pc and play them with ur fav media player
anyother options?
You could also use a VNC client on your pocketpc and a VNC server on the PC. Have a look at ptVNC http://www.parystec.demon.co.uk/pt_vnc2.htm. There are other solutions as well, just Google around...
Nothing like what you see on the Tilt or the Vouge?
Is there some way to make a Windows Mobile 5 device show up as a shared drive on a network (connected to it thru WiFi)?
WM6
On WM6 there is a Network plugin for file explorer. you can use it to map to a shares on your windows machines.
It's an HTC app so have a look on the CAB apps area.
It's ace!
Also a Domain Enroll app, I haven't tried yet but I'll get a virtual PC up and give it a shot..
Hi!
Is there a way to connect diamonds internal storage as hard drive via bluetooth? Just the way it does when you connect via USB.
Armin
SOLVED: Use Mocha FTP Server on diamond and connect via netdrive by Wifi - not bluetooth. Then sync with MS Sync Toy is possible.
I haven't done it myself but I suspect if you connect via Active sync (WMDC) over bluetooth you will be able to do this!
Can anyone else comment on this?
UPDATE:
I gave it a shot & the answer is yes. You can connect via Bluetooth+Activesync & open "internal storage" to browse / read & write.
you can also enable bluetooth file sharing under bluetooth pref. then you can select "browse bluetooth" in your computer. btw: bluetooth would be really really slow.
you can search for "network plugin" in this forum and download the cab. This will enable you to share a folder on your phone to the network and basically do the same thing over wifi.
The network plugin sounds interesting
...where can I get the latest version?
Is there a more straightforward way than googling?
To links are from March (Build 29714).
Armin
Syncing with Mocha FTP Server?
Unfortunately Network Plugin does not show diamonds folders on my computer. It only works the other way round.
Mocha FTP Server does it.
But Microsoft SyncToy can not sync FTP servers.
Are there alternatives recommended?

Thanks for mentioning that Bluetooth is very slow. So I can skip this.

It works using http://www.netdrive.net/ (free for home use).
