At home, I can connect my HD2 to my home wi-fi network, and access the Internet that way.
I have my home computers set up for file sharing, so I can access the files of one computer from another, over that home network.
When the HD2 is connected to that same network, I would assume there is a way to do that with the HD2 as well, in both ways--
1) to access a PC's files from the HD2
2) to access the HD2's files from the PC
(Please note--I know one can do #2 via ActiveSync (USB or Bluetooth), or the "storage card as disk drive" option as well (USB). That is not what I am discussing here though. I am asking how to do that via wi-fi (no AS involvement at all), when the HD2 is connected to the home wi-fi network.) I assume it would necessitate setting up the HD2 somehow for file sharing, but I don't know how to do that.
Besides the default file manager on the HD2, I have three better add-on file managers--Resco (commercial), and Total Commander and GSFinder (both free). One would think that with one or all of those one could do #1, when connected (as the PCs are already set up to share), yet I cannot figure out how.

Does anyone know how to do that?

If you buy the most recent version of wifi remote access from the ms market place (and tbh i think julien needs the support) you can access an included ftp server as well. Also, wifi remote access will work over 3g/HSDPA if you set the option to allow it. It's all you need really.

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.
That been said thanks for the suggestion

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?
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
Rob
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
I'm sure this question must have been asked and answered before, but I have searched and can't find it, feel free to point me to the right topic.
I would just like to access the storage on my HD2 wirelessly on my wifi network at home. How do I get the HD2 to show up as a network drive?
Try MyMobiler or WIFI Remote Access http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/
I don't think you can make it as a shared resource in the network, but you can always share folders from the pc and access them on the phone (for moving files from the pc to the phone and vice versa in case you give full access to the folder).
I hope it helps.
PS: I use resco explorer to access network content over wifi.
Wifi remote access as mentioned above, or theres also Mochasoft FTP server.
But I don't know of a network drive/samba style server.
