hey there,
im using my day off to play a little bit with my td. now i would like to build network connection via wlan through my router to my desktop so i can move files from pc to ppc and vica versa. problem is that im not able to see my desktop on the phone, nor to see my phone on the desktop. i cant even get into any filesharing option(s) on the diamond
since now im using resco explorer...
help needed
What have you tried so far?
In Resco Explorer, try Menu > File > Network > Map Drive and then enter the computer name and share in the format \\computer\share.
You may find there are no computers/shares listed in the bottom window (hence why you have to manually enter it above) however in my case I'd always put this down to me using Samba on Linux but perhaps it just doesn't support this sort of network 'browsing' to find what shares are available.

yeehaaw thanks a lot! that made it. still a a bit uncomfortable but i think once added i dont have to reenter the path.
so now i just have to figure out how to make this work vice versa... wonder if it is as easy as it sounds i'll let you know
thanks so far!!
I don't think it's possible the other way round... but that shouldn't matter as from your phone you've got two-way traffic right now.
You're right about not needing to reenter the name - just hit My Device at the top (or traverse up to the tree to the top) and you'll find a My Network at the same level - inside here is your previously mapped share(s).

Hi,
I have tried to map my Vista laptop via Resco as stated above but comes up with error :
Cannot map network path, network resorce cannot be found.....
As I dont fully understand what I am doing can someone do a walkthough please?
I have tried to search the forum, but can get it to search keywords.
Thanks in advance
PS Can I map the internal storage via windows explorer?
You guyz should try Total Commander, it has a plugin for LAN. Works very good, even transferring big files. Running Vista Ultimate.
Greetings.
Thanks Sergio for your reply, I have total commander but have no idea how to use it, Can you offer any step by step instructions to connect to my vista laptop.
Thanks

Sure no prob do this:
-Turn your WiFi connection. (usually best performance settings works best)
-Access Total Commander.
-In the main page, where you see Internal Storage and device. You should see a folder named \\Plugins. Access this folder.
-Then access the folder named LAN.
-Then access the <new server> option.
-Name your connection.
-When asked for the server name, type in the computer you want to access (you can find the name by going in your PC to the network file and check which files are shared on your computer, click on them and you should get the name of the server "pic attached")
-You are done enjoy.
-Vista kicks assss.
Greetings to all.
Thanks Sergio,
I have followed your steps,Now I can connect to the Laptop folder in the network Directory which is the location \\LAPTOP. I can connect fine but the folders are not visable so appears to be empty in Total Commander which we know its not.
I also have a NAS drive which I can connect to following your steps with ease. Trouble is I dont want to use this as it is by Back up drive.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks again.

I am trying to access files in my shared folders on my desktop running XP.
My wireless router sees my Tilt and my Tilt see my computer.
When I use Resco file explorer, go to Network and map the desktop drive I see four folders:
My Pictures
Shared Music
Shared Video
SharedDocs
When I try to access these folders by tapping on them nothing happens. There are files in them and they are set to share.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
For sharing, you have to have XP or Vista pro. The home ones don't support remote sharing. Found that the hard way :\.

Kareem, that is incorrect. XP home does support sharing (don't know what you mean by "remote" sharing, because sharing will always be remote, right? )
I have XP home and share all the time with my wizard. Don't know what to suggest about this right now, but if you are having problem with this method, then there is another brilliant way for a better solutiong. Search for "mocha ftp server" on google. This is a freeware that sits on ur pocket pc and runs an ftp server. You can access this server from ur desktop for writing files to ur handheld "AND" to read files from it as well (i.e. it allows 2-way sharing) which otherwise impossible over network without installing specialised software over ur desktop (like microsoft portrait)
why not use resco file explorer.. much easier...

he uses resco, read the first post
i think it's a problem with the rights-management on your shared folders
check if they are readable for everyone, cause i don't know if resco file explorer is able to authentificate with your prefered credentials

I am able to open network shares from my Kaiser using Total Commander. I can access shares on XP Home Desktop and Vista Home Premium Laptop. Vista will not allow me to be logged in as the same user on laptop and Kaiser at the same time but XP does seem to allow this. The user/password prompt can take a while to appear initially.
Have you definitely enabled sharing on the PC?
Can you access these shares from another PC?
Another option which might suit your needs is Orb. This is brilliant for me I can access files and webcam and TV whilst out and about on my Kaiser and from any PC.
Who is able to help me?
On this forum i found two treads on how to access the SD / HDD from Snapvue side.
I did not get it done.
I did the following:
Liberated shift and made it WM 6.1 on Snapvue side.
Set SD HDD and Memorystick to share on vista side.
Installed Total Commander and VM Netbroweser on Snapvue side.
Set the USB tool to connect.
Both arrows came on and activesync started.
Still, using both programms, i am not able to access SD, HDD or memorycard via Snapvue side. By the way Vista was running while trying.
I am a very frequent user of WM6.1 and the fact that the Shift has WM6.1 as well as Vista made it my perfect notebook solution. The battery life on Snapvuemode is the best feature for me but the memory is way to small.
Access to SD card would make my day / week / month / year / life.....
A sollution? anyone?
Thanks in advance.

I hope that you are better with Windows Mobile than with this forums search-function.
How to Access shift hdd/sdcard on snapvue
Good luck!
Thanks Peppie.nl.
The link was found by me already.
I tried averything as mentioned in that tread, thats why i installed Networkbrowser.
I also found an other tread (about TomTom7 on snapvue.)
Tried everything written down there aswell to access SD card using Total Commander.
Still not able to access SD card.
Would appreciate any help in this.

Still no help?
Hello,
Is there enyone who is able and willing to help me with this problem.
As written above; i am not able to access the SD card from Snapvue side.
I found two posts on the forum and followed every step of them.
It does not work.
Probably i am doing something wrong, but not sure what.

Check that the sd card and hdd are set as shared drives.
In vista network and sharing center - Network discovery is on - file sharing is on.
hope this helps.
Tried the above
Thanks Scott for your help.
Sd card is on SHARED
NEtwork settings are as you suggest.
still no luck
I am thinking it might be the networkpath...
What should that be?
I am trying for example:
\\X9500Jan\D:\
and
\\HOME\X9500Jan\D:\
Home = workgroup
X9500Jan = computer name
D: = Driveletter of Sd card
Very eager to get it done.

Try:
\\X9500Jan\D
also make sure ur windows firewall is not blocking ports etc and password enabled sharing is disabled. Try disabling windows firewall or any other firewall and try ... i have usually found firewall's to be the culprits in such situations!
I use vm net browser and dont need to type any path
when net browser is open highlight my network then click on file then network then rescan network you then should get message "network scan on dialup connection will take a very long time do you want to proceed" click yes - after it scans the network you should see the workgroup under my network, mine also picks up a workgroup "unknown"
Going to do a hard reset
Thanks Scottt
I had already installed net browser
It found a ip adress but i was not able to access.
After installing an other browser (Resco Explorer)
Net Browser keeps giving a message that the scaner (no this is not a type fault this was the message...) failed.
I uninstalled all other browsers (Like Total Commander en Resco Explorer) and reinstalled Net Browser.
The bug keeps coming back.
I now am going to do a hard reset of Windows Mobile and install the latest rom.
any suggestions of which one is best?
Am very busy at the moment so don't know when i will be able to do the reset.
Will come back on it soon.
Thanks sofar....

It is not nescescary to hard reset your device. The ip-adress you can see in net browser is probably only a localhost adress (169.254.2.1?). Make sure that ActiveSync is connected to Vista and filesharing enabled. (Right-click the folder you want to share in Vista, select properties -> sharing tab -> Advanced Sharing -> Mark "Share this folder" -> click permissions -> Add your Vista username and select all permissions -> click OK)
If you still cannot see Workgroup and your computer name under netbrowser, you will have to disable/add exception to your Windows firewall.
Hope this is helpful
Finally, it works after hardreset
Hello,
Everybody who helped me with this problem: THANKS!!
After a hardreset and installing a new rom i am able to finally access the SD card on Vista side from the "Snapvue" side.
Will buy lisence for Netbrowser in a few days since this a trail version for 14 days.
Thank you.
I also managed to install Total Commander on Snapvue side from SD card and also was able to copy a .CAB file from SD card to Snapvueside so it could also be installed.
PERFECT....

Hey all,
I got most of this working, got Network Browswer installed and can see my computer, only my shares arent showing up, i've given full access to EVERYONE and my username on the vista side to both a single folder and my C: drive but nothing is showing up at all.
Any ideas?
Hi all,
Has anyone sucessfully maped a network drive from their home PC onto their diamond using resco?
at the monet i can create a vpn with my home PC, then lauch total commander.
In the top line i type \\mypcname\shareddrive and i can view the contents of that shared folder.
this is all well and good but i much prefer using resco to total commander but cant map the drive.
if i go resco>file>network>map network drive and fill in the appropriate details i am greeted with a message that the drive is either not avalable or i do not have permission to access it.
both of these point are incorrect becase accessing the drive with TC proves it does exist and i do have permission so whats the story with resco?
if anyone has any experiance with this or can think of some details i should have added ill be glad to hear from ya.
I have my Tilt connected to the internet @ home via my Router using wifi..I have some files (mp3s, videos) shared on the network via the router..how do I access these files from my tilt? Do I need a special program or what?
nobody knows how? I just want to be able to access my shared folders on my home pc through wifi..I can't seem to get it..
I personally like resco file explorer. Unfortunatly haven't been able to use it to get on my Windows 7 computer though
I have resco explorer 2008 and I go browse under NETWORK and nothing shows up..do i need to configure anything?
Have you looked at Remote Desktop ?

http://www.vmobilesoftware.com/NetworkBrowser.htm
I am glad you asked i have always wanted to do this too. and i just found out how.
crap it is pay ware if anyone can find a similar thing that is freeware please post.
Ok I just found out why it wasn't letting me view the shared computer...it was Norton360 firewall..as soon as I disabled it..it let me access the files from the pc on my phone..my question now is how do i tell the firewall to let me see the files..because I do want it on..but still want to access my files.
euklid, are you behind a router to the internet? if so you basically have a hardware firewall (it doesnt pass on traffic to ports unless u specify it to do so) Norton is crap imo.... Windows Firewall does what it needs to do...
i use network folder plugin. cant remember where to get it from i've used it on wizard hermes and now the tilt. it does exactly what u want. it installs in start>settings>connections just go in there u just have to map it to ur shared folders.
my shift is liberated but i wanted to install shift pack since i only have a few tools on wm side but i need LNK file i checked the thread on liberating shift
do i have to liberate it again.
how do i know if the usb tool is working .because the wm side dosent give much info.
if u hv problem with WMDC sometimes connecting & sometimes not, dont worry. the usb tool is always working when u set to attach to WMDC. I personally dont use WMDC with very annoying big dialog box.
What i did, disable any connection with WMDC/ActiveSync(WinXP)
Share a folder, use total commander (or resco etc) to access the shared folder (and create a hotlist for quick & easy access) . And I also have ftp server access using total commander. so we have external storage either on Vista/Seven harddrive or online ftp
