set up connection to drives on home network

Hi

I have a tytn II htc and i run windows mobile 6. I have previously had a
connection to my home network and have been able to open some files directly
from that.

I did a hard reset but now cannot remember how to get the path mapping
working in file explorer.

I can connect to the network to use the internet and I connect to one PC
using active sync - but the network thing doesnt seem to work.

Doug

In File Explorer, select Menu/Open Path then tap "New Path" and enter your
path (e.g. \\server\share)

Re: set up connection to drives on home network

Yes I have done that but I am unable to connect.


My network is using wireless and I have not been able to connect for a while
with my HTC - my notebooks can all see each other.

Have you tried the "usual suspects?"- soft reset PPC to flush the DNS
cache, reboot the wireless router, etc.?

Re: set up connection to drives on home network

Hi Todd

I am hoping that someone could tell me what if any settings I need to use on
the device. If it should connect to the network automatically then I can
look elsewhere for the problem. The device connects to the wireless
internet ok - on the same network but just wont allow the device to browse
the folders on the network computers.

I have tried rebooting the router and resetting the device.

It really should just connect automatically if on the same network.

I'm stumped.

Every now and then my device fails to see the network shares but a soft-
reset cures it.


Sorry...

Re: set up connection to drives on home network

Hi Todd

Thanks for your advice again.

Yes this is a bit fragile - i checked again this morning and now it works
again - nothing different from yesterday - maybe there was an IP conflict or
something but then that would preclude the internet access - who knows?

Cheers

Doug
