Both PocketPC and XP laptop are connected to the same access point but I always get "The network path was not found" message when I access the windows fileshare from my Dell X50v PockePC. It seems that the laptop is also not visible from the PocketPC. I have tried many things without success. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could give me a helping hand.

I had exactly the same problem even though I had various drives
shared on my PC I could not browse them from the PPC. You might like
to try this:

Go to Control Panel/ Network Setup Wizard and go through the wizard
to set your machine up for the network. This sets up the various
shares and configures your firewall etc. After a reboot I found that
everything worked for me.

Best wishes,
