Drive mapping across WiFi in Windows Mobile 5 ?

  I'd write HP an email. Do they have a developer site that the public can access If they do, and you haven't already looked there, look there first.

  Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work out with \\<NetBios name>\SharedDocs either

It's an iPaq hw6915

  SMB, not samba, my apologies. if the device doesn't implement SMB (server message blocks) -- and it's an OEM choice -- then you may or may not be able to connect to other devices via UNC. I'm not certain if the 6915 implements SMB or not, but I would suspect it does.

  as Michael suggested, try the machine's NETBIOS name.

  what's the UNC are you using
  

• shivk

  try to connect with the servers NETBIOS name instead of it's IP address.

  E.g. \\192.168.2.106\SharedDocs
  

• ITJoeB

  It has 192.168.2.101

  and what IP is your device obtaining on the network

  Since this is a forum for developers using Visual Studio 2005, I doubt you'd find an answer here. You should try one of the Windows Mobile newsgroups

  Thanks Sriram, can you please point me towards one of the Windows Mobile newsgroups as I merely chose this group as it seems to me to be the best suited, and I haven't been able to find other Windows Mobile usergroups than one concerning SQL on Windows Mobile so far

  Thanks, John

  Thanks again for insisting on helping me with this one. Do you or anybody else know where I can find out if HP decided to include SMB in the iPaq hw6915 (I've searched high and low without finding the info so far...)

  Thanks,

  John

  Hello

  I have kind of the same problem. I own af Qtek S200 and when i log on to my wireless network i want to connect to at shared folder on my server.

  If i set up my wireless network as WORK-profile in WM5 i can connect bu typing \\computername or ip.

  If i set it up as my HOME-network(profile) i cant. I get an error message that says tha the networkpath was nok found, or i do not have permission to access the network.

  I really cant tel why this is.

  And here i should mention, that if i switch off my WEB128-encryption on the network it works fine in both cases.

  Seems like the HOME-profile has problems decrypting But why does it work when the network is set to WORK-profile. (On the same WLAN, with the samen encryption )

  This is an odd one, hope some of you can help me out here.
