Hi,

I've asked this question on other forums but haven't got any answer i
hope i'll get here. I'm trying to connect from my PDA to my own machine's
shared folder but when in my PDA file explorer i type
\\mymachine01\SharedFiles i got this error message "The network path was not
found." & then another message "Network resource cannot be found or you do
not have permission to access the network" even i haven't prompted for login
id password.

But through Emulator when i type the above path i got an authentication
box where i am passing userid & password n then accessing files.

Kinldy help me to work this out.

Regards,
Adnan

Hello Adnan,
I am not very experienced but as i know u need microsoft loopback
adapter
for such kind of operation.
But first u should check ur connection settings of the device. There
some thing is missing.

Thanks & Regards

Hello Vikash,

I have tested the same code through Emulator which works fine, only
problem with Pocket PC Device. Nothing is missing.

Remember that the emulator is not a real device and the communication
between the emulator and the desktop it's running on is not really
comparable to what a real device faces.

Are you running a firewall on the desktop machine? That's an obvious
barrier to external devices getting access to things like file server ports.
How is the Pocket PC device connected to the network? Are you sure that it
*is* connected to the network? Can you ping it from the desktop machine?

Hi Paul,

1 - I am using Windows XP Professional and my Windows Firewall is off.
2 - I have connected my pocket pc through ActiveSync using USB port to my
machine. I can't access my own machine by typing \\mymachine01 through pocket
pc file explorer either.
3 - But I can browse http://mymachine01/localstart.asp through my pocket ie
even i have tested ftp://mymachine01/files/ and successfully view the files.
4 - I can't ping my pocket pc even i dont know how to do it. i tried to ping
at command prompt by typing ping my_ppc_id but its shows me "Ping request
could not find host my_ppc_id ..."

Actually I want to send a txt file programmatically from my PDA to my own pc
(not from pc to PDA).

Any idea what i have to configure.

Regards,
Adnan

Try to use the net.exe command to map the network folder. I'm unconvinced
that this will work via ActiveSync, although it will work if you use a real
network adapter to connect to your network. You want a command something
like:

net use * \\<servername>\<sharename>

The result should be a new folder in \Network, something like "<sharename>
on <servername>". If that doesn't work, you'll have to use a real network
card, write a desktop RAPI program to move the file under the control of the
desktop, or do something custom on both sides to allow the transfer (or use
HTTP or FTP, of course).
