Hi all,
First post here. :roll:
Anyway, i have recently got a Vario and i have sucessfully connected it up to a latop wifi via an ad hoc setup. Anyway, i know its working properly because i can view webpages that are being dished up via a webserver installed on the laptop (using IP address as the url).
Anyway, i now want to copy some files off the laptop (via a shared folder). I have opened up file explorer and selected browse path and then entered the ip address and the share (\\192.168.0.1\share). However, WM5 does not want to connect to it saying that it cannot find the server.
Is this a known issue with the file explorer? :?:
Cheers
Okay, found the problem now. Aparently you have to use the actually names instead of IP addresses.
I have tried endlessly trying to get this to work but I can't. My pc is connected to my wireless router by wire and my wizard by wifi an I'd like to access my PC files from my wizard (and the other way round if possible) Do I need an Ad-hoc connection for this? I have tried using resco, Gsfinder+, total commander and the built in file explorer to map a network drive but it never works. TC and GSfinder say the usual connot connect bla bla and "Error 53". I have also tried setting my connection to connect to 'Work' but this had no effect.
I have enabled file and printer sharing on the PC, and shared the 'shared documents' folder. Then in 'My Network Places' I added the folder as a network place. The PC's name is 'Family' and the shared folders name is SharedDocs. If I right click on the folder (called 'SharedDocs on Family')and select properties, it says '\\FAMILY\SharedDocs' but If I try this on my wizard it does not work. What am I doing wrong? I don't get it?
Anyone any ideas?
Anyone?
Thanks in Advance
Problem fixed. Recently got a laptop, set up shared folders and printer sharing, then it started to work on my phone

My company standard for pda's is the crackberry. However, I was able to connect to our exchange server with my ATT Tilt. I believe that our IT dept has now enabled some security feature that will not allow my phone to connect to the server anymore.
Using WM 6.1
Any ideas?
it sounds like the server cert is invalid. you can get more information on the error using activesync to set up the server source.
anyway, your it geeks must give you a copy of the server cert (.cer file). They can export it, and you can use activesync to put it onto your device
Thanks for the help. They've now established a "pilot" program for WM6, so I don't know if they'll actually give me a copy of the server cert. I was able to copy the cert that was assigned to my PC and install it on my device, but still no dice. It was installed as an Intermediate and not a root. I don't know if that makes a difference or how/if it can be changed if it does.
Im not sure either. It would take the it geeks about 30 seconds to generate the .cer file. I had the same problem as you, so I exported the certificate from my server, stuck it onto my htc cruise using activesync, then using file explorer, navigated to the .cer file, clicked on it, and it worked.
The certificate I exported was the exact on that was imported to iis.
thanks again.
For some reason the cert from the server is not working. Could you check to see if yours was installed as a root or an intermediate when you get a chance?
This is going to be a HUGE bummer if I have to get a crackberry.
to get the cert:
1) on the server where iis is running, run mmc
2) add the certificate snap-in referencing the local computer.
3) navigate to Personal or Trusted Root certificates (depending if your cert is self-signed or from a CA), find the cert that was used for the iis web service that is running OTA, right click on it, then select export (.der format will be ok).
4) have the it geeks give this file to you.
5) using activesync, move it to you device.
6) using file explorer on the device, navigate to where the .cer file is, then click on it.
7) thats it.
Step 4 is the problem. I don't think I'll get the cert from IT because I'm not part of the pilot program. This was a recent change that required certificates to crack down on renegades like me.
I guess I'll have to wait until they roll out the corporate wide program.
Oh well, Crackberry here I come.
Thanks again for the info.
Does anyone know how an exchange serve tells the difference between remote access from a desktop and remote access from a handheld?
The address is really different. webmail is at www.yourdomain.com/exchange, which over the air activesync is www.yourdomain.com/?something? (im not sure exactly). The ppc activesync program knows what to append to the end of your url to activate the correct application pool on the server.
Hi there. I finally found a thorough file sync solution between PC and PDA. It contains of local-network only FTP server on PDA and a sync program on pc which can access FTP and has wildcard filtering ability. I use it to sync all PDA-readable/editable contents (171 formats) of pc-s DESKTOP and MYDOCS in realtime continous manner. The problem I ran into is that this works well over wifi but activesync network connection doesn't seem to let me to the home network. I'd love to actually do it just over activesync. I know activesync is ip-based network room which even dont need an internet connection. How do I enter into that room?
I also tried PocketWizards Easysync but it doesn't seem to count the real free space I have. It only knows the free space of internal memory and thinks the content wouldn't fit to the 16Gb storage card.
confusing text
Sorry. As usual I hurry expressing myself here. The question:
How can I access the same home network through activesync where my laptop is (the ip standard is 192.168.1.*)?
SOLVED
It just works now... I dunno what I did :S
I'm looking for some combination of software to transfer mp4 files over to my home as simple as possible. Right now I'm looking into 2 Apache servers on the phone itself.
Is there a better solution? Maybe some software that can read directly from a Win7 shared drive? Or even a good FTP client?
For transfer of single files, I allready have an apache server running on my laptop. I have AutoHotKey set up to automagically display QRCode for the url for a file I select in Windows Explorer.
For transfering more, I usually just use the USB cabel
I use swiftftp on my phone and use FileZilla on my pc to transfer
Estrongs file explorer can mount windows smb shares directly from the phone, with the user name and password, of a valid user that has access to the shared volumes.
Tested in win7 ultimate 64bit and vista with an htc desire.
You can't use the pc's netbios name to access the shares, instead you need to use its IP address in the estrongs dialog.
I have an stream portal running on my computer. Jinzora. But when I clicked on the download in Inbuild browser. Nothing happened. I tried with Opera Mini then and it opened a download but it never started to transfer. So I have to try to run apache on the phone itself.

Will try that to but I'm not sure what smb shares are. Are this normal shares when you click right click on a drive and share with advanced settings?
I dont have any users set. Just Everyone under premissions.
I actually always had problems to setup shares since Vista and upwards. Funny in XP they worked fine. Not parcticually with Win-Phone, but WInXP-WinXP.
thanks ... Estronge file explorer is excellent... works like a charm...
Yes this Estrong file explorer sees my both computer just fine. But When I try to connect it asks for a password and username. I never set any of this. Dont even know where to set it up.

It's a bit beyond the scope of this forum, but to create a new user or modify an existing one :
Open control panel and click user accounts, if there is a user already in the system (most likely there is), just create a password for him.
Logging through the network with the above credentials will give you access to the users home folder (C:\users\"username" without the quotes) by default.
Hello guys,
Do you think you could help: I was trying to use astro SMB module - but no luck. What I did:
1. open ASTRO -> Network -> New -> Windows server
2. I entered following:
: Label: Transfer
: Server: 192.168.1.12 (also tried "windows name")
: Share: transfer
When I click "TEST" I get the message: "Server not found".
Details button opens message: "jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
Server is Windows XP proff - and other PC's are connecting to the "share" without username/passwords (use simple file sharing).
I am trying to connect using my network's WiFi.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
I have not figured how to use this module in a Windows environment either. One thing I noticed comparing it to the OP is that I do not have a ASTRO -> Network -> New -> Windows server option. Instead of Windows server I only see SFTP, SMB and Bluetooth options.
Is anyone using Astro to browse Windows shares?... If so, can you outline the steps you took to get it to work? Maybe this requires a Samba client in the Windows host? I'm using the latest version available in the Market using a Samsung Captivate.

Hi,
i've like you sftp and smb but it gives to me the same error than tazbo.
Can you tell me what is the right configuration?
SMB, you must enter the username and password of the account with which you log into the Windows machine. The IP address goes in the Server field. No need for a Domain unless you are on a corporate net with domain controller.
It works just perfectly for me, but the machines I connect to require that I log in (Windows login).
I've used this to connect to my Ubuntu file server in my house. While I didn't have to enter a username on the windows boxes that connect to the server, I did have to use "guest" as a username with an empty password field.
Good Luck!

Just wanted to throw a Thanks out there also.
I've been knocking my head against the wall trying to figure out this SMB thing and with the suggestion of using Guest I was finally able to connect to ALL of my shares from my phone.
So again, thanks
Please give a link of the module, i cant find it in the market

this is what must be done to use your regular xp user name and password -
1. open windows control panel
2. double click on administrative tools
3. double click on local security policy
4. hi-light security options
5. double click on network access:sharing and security model for local accounts
6. change to classic - local users authenticate as themselves
Thx a bunch, feinmark
I followed those steps you posted, but I still kept getting the same error
These are my setup
===========================================
Server: XXX.XX.XXX.XX (MY computer IP, not my router IP )
Label: Transfer
Share: 'Empty'
Domain: 'Empty'
Directory: 'Empty'
Username: 'my user name'
Passcode: 'Empty' b/c I do not have one for my comp
=============================================
This is the message I still get........
jcifs.smb.SmbException: Failed

Can someone please help me :O.....
Disable windows firewall.
If you use win7, make sure your in your network as: 'HOME network' and not as 'PUBLIC'.
Thus fixed it for me..

So before this problem occurred i had a ftp set up on my pc. My phone and tablet were able to connect to my pc ftp server using my home wifi(i'm not interested yet on accessing files externally)and download files. Now after re-installing windows 7 and setting up the server again using IIS and filezilla i can't access the files. I can however access the files/folders using the web browser on my pc. I have set up a static ip-address on my pc if that makes any difference. Any help would be appreciated
