Hi all, like many I want music/videos over wifi! Tried lots of searching, and lots of 'tips'.
I have T7373 - Rhod100, 6.5 (SEA) WWE rom (3.5 net), ASUS RT-N56U with USB drive/app, and the rest of LAN is W7. (HOMEGROUP, WORKGROUP, and LAN-USB app all work among other devices.)
WM6.5, MP will play a single song (very long path!) from LAN-USB.
With various versions of NETWORK FOLDER PLUGIN (and Network Browser) I can see the machines (but not the directories) on LAN, and when I try to attach or map I can see that WM can tell if there is a password/username active before telling me it failed. (NB will also see other routers and such.)
Since I cannot see the directories, I am using locations similar to what works in W7 for WORKGROUP - ie \\ASUS\AiDisk_a1 and also trying \\ASUS\Music to get to LAN-USB, and \\Z\C to get to W7 machine.
I think I'm (and many others) missing something very basic here. The WM6.5 tries and just does not map - can anyone help?
THX!

Hi,
currently I'm running Black WM6, but I have huge problem to set my orangeworld connection. Somehow I'm missing the proxy tab (I was also in Orange shop but no luck). So I tried to search for answer here, but mostly I found that this ROM is old. So the question is, which one to use? There are too many ROM's out there.
What I need is clean system (basic stuff) with GSM (3G/video), internet connection (orangeworld), SMS/MMS, camera, sim manager, synchronization with exchange via cable/internet.
What I don't need is Office Mobile, messanger, windows live, etc. I'm not using the build in applications anyway, I found better ones (Inesoft, SPB, Page Maker).
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Is there a way with an HTC Dash / Excalibur running WM6 Standard to access network resources on a LAN through the WIFI? I've tried looking for an option in Total Commander, and I installed the Resco Explorer 2007 trial. It seems that Resco's PocketPC version supports mapping drives, but not for the WM6 Standard. I've seen screenshots of what is available in Resco Explorer. That option is omitted for the WM6 Standard version.
I've tried ORB and Soonr. Those seem to be the only methods, but I was hoping for a more native method.
Any suggestions or advice?
Thank you,
Tim
Mapping to Home Network Share
Is this not possible on an HTC S620/S621 ? I would like to be able to map to my network shares. I could then even use Hamachi VPN to connect even if I'm away from home.
But first things first. There seems to be no way to map a drive letter, or even connect via a UNC statement of \\abc\123 ... etc.
So far the only methods I've seen are soonr and orb. I suppose it's a work around, but I was hoping for a more windows native method.
From my research, it seems that those running touch screen / windows mobile professional can do this. If they add Resco Explorer 2007 it has that option. I installed the Windows Smartphone Standard trial version, and the option doesn't exist.
Nor does it exist with Total Commander.
Thank you,

Not possible with WM6 Standard Devices?
Haven't received an answer. I've been googling for a response, but everything I've read seem to indicate that the network mapping thing is a real crippling part of these phones.
I've noticed that this seems to be a major difference between WM6 devices with touch screens, therefore running WM6 professional versus the WM6 Standard Devices.
Touchscreen WM6 Devices can map drives, use remote connectivity software, and even have more advance function in pocket office.
Non-touchscreen WM6 devices can't perform drive mappings, or use remote connectivity software like RDP or VNC.
I'd like to be able to map a drive to my network, and transfer files that way, rather than through activesync. I can't understand how I can obtain an IP using my HTC Dash's WIFI over my wireless router, but yet, not connect in any manner to the network that I have shared drives on.
If someone knows of a way, then please let me know.
Thank you,
Tim
no one has ever mapped a drive w/ the excalibur??
i have tried for months...it seems as if the phone is the big proble. it doesnt support netbios from what i have seen. on my network i can ping it by netbios name and everything from the pc end of things..but from the phone i cant see the computer by anything but ip which is fine. but i cannot acces a share or network drive via \\ip.address. no idea how you would create a share on the phone either

Maybe Microsoft's Live Mesh technology will help this. Apparently there will be a client for mobiles and could give you a way to access your files on the go. (I know this doesn't quite answer your question, but maybe helps solve the problem)
See http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=399577 for some details
How to map a network Drive with Built in WM software.
Hey guys. I have to say the solution is so simple it is Genious.
Simply open up internet explorer on your device and type in \\SHARENAME\
IE will translate this into file://\\sharename\ and if it is password protected it will ask you for the user name and password. You will then be sent to Windows File Explorer, and Viola you are surfing your network resources. You can even save them as a favorite for later use.
I hope this helps.
That doesn't seem to do anything?? Did you get this to work in IE for wm6.1?
I need help accessing my shared folders on my LAN when connected to my router via Wifi.
I can access the internet in IE from my Artemis but cannot access folders on my PC!
I'm sure with my old Alpine (which died and was replaced by O2 with the Artemis) I was able to do this by simply browsing the local IP - I definately could use remote desktop.
I want to be able to open files residing on my PC from my PPC but can't find any apps. When trying to do it in IE I get an error saying "The network path was not found." ( I put \\192.168.11.2\c$ in the browser)
Please can someone tell me what I'm not doing or doing wrong? If it's simply security/authentication configuration I need to sort out, please can someone write me a basic tutorial?
Thanking all in advance,
a desperate PPC enthusiast

Try Resco Explorer. It can access to shared folders on PC.
Or try the network plugin from HTC. Is included in almost all ROMs
many thanks guys, I downloaded Resco Explorer... looks good
If anyone else needs the network plugin, I found one thanks to the others advice at
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-network-folder-plugin-v1-0.html
cheers again for a job well done!

I had a bit of an issue trying to get this working too, but now i have it sorted and i have acces to my entire home network via my Orbit, its great. The best way I find is to make sure you have turned on file and printer sharing , added permission for "Full Control" for "Everyone" on the folder/file you want to share, install the HTC Network Plugin and finally you can use either standard folder (if you make network folder visible using HTC Network Plugin) , or use Resco Explorer (which I recommend as its very good). I have HTC Network plugin and Resco Explorer if ya need them.
I haven't found htc network plugin so if you can make it available, I'm sure it would help me and others with the same requirements.... many, many thanks for your input friend.

Here you go http://www.4shared.com/file/38323626/dda3fed4/HTC_Ne
Upgrade went fine, used the v24 w/ opera version, but have a couple issues.
Biggest issue is that Bluetooth file transfer doesn't seem to work anymore with my iMac. I try to initiate a transfer and it says " there is already a transfer in progress", even after a soft reset, re-pairing, etc. It also says " your device appears to not support this feature", but it worked fine with WinMo 6.0, which came preloaded out of the box. I mostly upgraded for the performance and sliding panels, but the bluetooth issue is annoying.
The other problem is that Opera just won't install from the "my extras" menu. Also, my JOGGR randomly acts crazy, flipping between links on an IE webpage, only a soft reset fixes it
Any insight?
Install the latest Kavana ROM and stay away from the bloated "v24" version
I have WM6.1 V24 Ricky. My Bluetooth works just fine. In fact I'm posting wirelessly via a T-Mobile Dash Bluetooth PAN connection to a network server that feeds internet to all network devices, including the computer I'm typing on. So I don't think the problem is V24.
If you have a Broadcom BT adapter you may want to go to http://broadcom.com and download the latest BT drivers. I did this and it helped my server which was running 100% CPU with the old drivers. Updating the drivers also incidentally increased the BT PAN connection speed from 700K to 2000k (2Mps).
Has anyone successfully connected their WM6.1 HTC S620 to Ubuntu?
Simple file transfer would be a good starting point.
ill try tonight...
I gave it a shot but ummm let me see what is going on.

For simple file transfer could you use WM5torage and it gets recognized as a flash???
WM5torage is your best bet for file transfer. Multisync with the SynCE plugin are supposed to work for contacts and calendar, but the gods would have to smile on you, the starts be aligned, and you'd have to hold your mouth just right to get it working.
Almost forgot....obex in ubuntu (but not kubuntu) works with the Dash over bluetooth. In kubuntu, I think it's a one-way trip, but I can't remember which (the PC or the phone) that can't receive.
Not to hijack this thread but has anyone had any luck getting the dash to work with the internet sharing with Ubuntu via usb. I was never able to get this to work unless I am having one of my dense moments. My only source of internet at home right now is the dash. (Perhaps there is a driver I can download through another computer with an internet connection and save to a flash drive). I've been meaning to ask this question a couple of weeks ago but have since been busy and forgot. I figured I would ask here first before hitting up the Ubuntu forums.
I don't remember the results I got while playing with it, but as soon as you connect the Dash to Ubuntu via usb, it detects it as another network device. As far as the actual "tunnel" you need to set up to get tcp/ip over the link was always outside my realm of interest, so I never really messed with it.
to transfer file, i use bluetooth and ftp, no wm5storage
bluetooth is the best for ease use! works perfect in ubuntu 8.04. just right click file and send by bluetooth to phone.
ftp its good for complex transfer (multiple files, folders, etc). I use resco explorer on windows mobile and proftpd+gui on ubuntu
WM5torage unmount memory card from windows mobile to mont on usb. Because i use memory card to store emails/webcache, i got some freak errors using wm5storage. (like moving memory card to "\memory card 2" folder)
i do not sync anything (email, contacts, notes or whatever).. but i do backups (from time to time) using ppcpimbackup (not a smartphone app but works [bugy gui] )
I need test ogg sync or something to sync with my google account. did you try something like?
Thanks!
Thanks everyone. WM5storage works a treat over a USB connection.
Tried connecting over bluetooth but I got an OBEX error. Will take a longer look at it when I get chance.
hi @all,
i use WM5Storage for filetransfer with UBUNTU.
Funambol for sync my KAISER over HSDPA works without problems. You only have to install the funambol-programm on your PPC and config the account on myFunambol.
http://my.funambol.com
http://www.funambol.com/
The Evolution-mailclient in UBUNTU can be synced with myFunambol too. you need to install this app:
https://launchpad.net/genesis-sync
If you flash your PPC 2x a week like me, funambol is the best, because it configures by installing automaticaly the mailaccount on the device. only need to put in username and password
Thanks Acidd.
The pointer to funambol is a useful workaround for the 6.1 SMTP problem.
Where can i get a nice Wm5torage version?
The stuff i have does not want to work on my WM6 Samsung i600, i get some error?
if you dont get a connection with wm5storage, you need to check the two points in the menu-->troubleshooting --> "disable concurrency" and "disable RNDIS on activate".
i dont know where i downloaded my version of wm5storage but its V1.8.
