Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Wireless / July 2007Can't connect to shared drive on my local network
HW6515A (WM 2003 SE) + Spectec Wlan11B SDIO card Connects to wireless router and to the internet with no issues. Attempting to map network shares fails. Can successfully ping the host device from the handheld with no problems. Using Linksys NSLU2 as appliance, shares seen from XP laptop on network. Exposing XP folder share on network also cannot be seen from 6515, but the notebook is seen during network scan. Ideas? Are you accessing the share via IP or netbios name? You should be able access the shares via netbios name using the built in file explorer once you set your wifi network profile to "work". If you are using a third party client such as Resco Explorer, you don't have to change the network profile. --- Eric Hicks [That_Kid](MS-MVP Mobile Devices) The MS-MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights... ***Posted via my Mogul(PPC6800) WM6 Professional*** ----- Original Message ----- From: Randy <dev@null.com> Sent: Thu, 28 Jun 2007 18:14:47 Subject: Can't connect to shared drive on my local network HW6515A (WM 2003 SE) + Spectec Wlan11B SDIO card Connects to wireless router and to the internet with no issues.

I'll try the 'work' profile-I do have resco exploirer 2007, but it doesn't see the NetBIOS share name of the NSLU2, but it does see the laptop's Name, but not the share. > --- > Eric Hicks [That_Kid](MS-MVP Mobile Devices) [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Ideas? >> Are you accessing the share via IP or netbios name?

Tried to make the card 'work'-same result. I'm going to do a hard-reset and reload the wireless card and Resco and see where it takes me. >> --- Eric Hicks [That_Kid](MS-MVP Mobile Devices) >> The MS-MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com This posting is [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> seen during network scan. >> Ideas? >>> Are you accessing the share via IP or netbios name?

Is it only the NSLU2 that you can't connect to? Have you tried connecting to a windows share? I wonder if the device has problems connecting to a linux share. I'll setup a linux share and do some testing.

Nope, can't connect to a Windows Share on my laptop that I established, even though it sees the machine from within Resco-expand the laptop, and no shares. |
