Hi everyone,

I have a small wireless network at home. All the Pcs on the network are
visible in XPs Network Places when they are on the network. Each PC can
be seen by the others.

I have just bought my iPaq and it connects to the network, I can
send/receive email but it is not "visible". How can I make it visible.
I can also print to my hp laserjet 2200dtn over the network.

Suggestions gratefully received.

The bottom line is you can't make the iPAQ visible in Network Neighborhood for example. You can
access the iPAQ via ActiveSync Explore while in the cradle or if your in a wireless ActiveSync
session from the PC your syncing with.

Some folks do run an FTP server on the iPAQ to get around this...
