Is it possible? Like being able to browse my Windows7 shares (like Mp3s and videos) with my ppc?
Yep, this is possible. You just need to use a file explorer that supports network browsing. I think Total Commander does.
Then just point it to the IP address of the computer with the shares on it
Of course this works if you are connected to the same network either via wireless or USB.

Hi,
I try to use VLC for Pocket PC and I would like to access my PC that has multiple drives shared. I have tried Total Commander but I was unable to open a //192.xxx.xxx.xxx/Drive Link
Is there any other Method ?
Can I use Media Player to play songs from my PC as a Network Share to my Mini S (Wizard) ?

i know you can do it using rosco explorer. the way i do it is to use the software from www.orb.com. it sits in your system try and you then access it from pocket ic and it streams the media to your phone from anyware in the world via. gprs or wifi etc
grim
Resco Explorer works a treat for that.
dont connect to an ip, connect to your computer ie
\\computername\sharedfoldername
Did the above naming convention still didn't work I was waiting for it to ask me for username and password since it is in a workgroup on a home wireless network. Just says can't connnect.
just to let you know - my problems with alarm clock started when i installed resco explorer and ENDED when i trashed this application - very useful but I want to rely on my wizard waking me up in the morning ;-)
I have set up an adhoc connection between wy MDA and PC. I managed to get ICS working, but i set up some of my PC's folders/drives to be shared over the network. How do i view these on my MDA? I can't find them anywhere.
using file explorer click menu > 'open path' then type //
i've just tested this however and i couldnt get it to work, it has done in the past though, i guess i need to configure my router.
I use Resco for my file manager, it allows you to "map" network drives (or folders) so you can easily browse shared folders from inside Resco.
There are other network browsers about, some better than others - try googling "WM5 network browser" and use a trial on anything that looks promising.
I use GSFinder, it's free and it has a "Network" option I also have ICS and a ad-hoc Wifi connection. I acces the shared folders with their UNC names. You can use your PC as a huge SD card!
Does adhoc mode only support 2 devices. Or can you have an adhoc mode with 3 devices connected?
you can have more than 2. I often have my deskop PC (connected to the Internet and with ICS enabled) My wizard and my laptop connected together and thanks to the network folder I can access files on the PC and on the laptop from the Wizard
I have noticed some programs, like media player, cant play files from the network. I get messages like 'can't play this file' or 'Incorrect parametor' etc.
1) Is there any way around this?
2) How can i make my network shares visable straight from the 'open file' dialogue with most programs? I can play some files straight off the network with TCPMP, but i have to find them in Resco first.
Thanks again.
Guys, I've looked around quite a bit on the forums and can't seem to find anything on connecting the Wizard via LAN and enabling Print / File Sharing.
My Setup...
1) Desktop computer physically connected to Linksys WRT54G Wi-Fi Router. (IP Add: 192.168.1.10)
2) Wizard connects to Wi-Fi Router (IP Add: 192.168.1.11)
3) Enabled File and Print Sharing on desktop LAN Connection (Ethernet Adapter)
4) Use Network Setup Wizard ---> computer connects to Gateway Router ---> Workgroup name : mshome
5) Selected a folder for File Sharing
6) Resco Explorer shows the name of the desktop but cannot connect to it.
Hope somehere can help.
Also how do I go about doing video steaming using VLC on the LAN. I'm able to do it if I use the WAN IP but not the LAN IP
Guys.... really need some help here....
To my knowledge there is no native printing setup in Windows Mobile 5 so there isn't an option to setup printing through your desktop as you would from computer to computer. There may be something third party to help fill this void, but i don't know anything off hand. Why would you need to print from the Wizard anyways though?
how about, something that enables you to access (mp3) files from a wLAN-connected external hard drive? (mp3 wifi streaming )
oh BTW frazell is right there is no native print support on the WM5 OS. try third party programs. i think i have seen some... but you can only print simple files like word/excel documents and pictures (i think)

Yes I know Native Print Sharing is not available.... but I'm looking for File Sharing.
I can only see the name of my desktop in Resco, but I cant access any of the shared folders on it.
Also is it possible to have file sharing enabled on the wizard without the use of activesync? through my wireless network itself?
it is possible, read here

What about Network Browser (PPC 2003/WM5) 1.3
? I haven't used it myself but it looks interesting.
You can also use PocketLAN (http://www.z2software.com/). It works perfectly on the Wizard, and it even seemlessly integrates into File Manager .
can you use wifi to send files like bluetooth or can u browse other wifi cable phones or pc file system or hard drive what can you do with two wifi fonez can you lyk ad hoc the 127.0.0.1 to share filez or something like that

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.

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!!

Resco explorer allows accessing and mapping network shares.

resco also allows FTP access, which is probably better, as the network share requires you to be on the same network (for example connected to your wireless network)
FTP can be accessed anywhere you have data connection but requires you to be running FTP software on your computer.
FTP is very easy to setup and use and will allow you to have access to any file folder that you choose on your PC (handy to have a choice of over 30gig of music to listen to )
Schaps Network plugin. Google it.
Ftp looks great
thank you
or use total commander it can browse your network share files...

I have Resco Explorer 2010, paid for.
Also Total Commander CE, which someone mentioned.
GSFinder+ as well.
Yet, I cannot figure out how to do that.
Connected to my home network via wi-fi. The PC's hard drives are set up to be shared. One PC can access the files of another.
I can't figure out how the HD2 can see the PC's files. Can anyone give me exact directions, using any of the tools mentioned?
--------------
Also, conversely, is there a way to set up the HD2 for file sharing, so that the PC can access it via the wi-fi network?
