Hi,
I need help on how to browse my home LAN. Weeks ago, with the previous rom, i was able to browse the LAN using total commander. Now that I've upgraded, i've tried in all the ways known to me, but never succeeded to.
I've tried using the File Explorer as explained in this tutorial, and it doesn't work: a balloon tip comes up saying that i "can't connect using the current settings" (i've already configured my gprs connection that works well with all other apps...wtf i need to configure then??)
I've tried using total commander, but here it says "error 53 while connecting" and then "error 0" ... The guy on TCce's support forum says that this means that the network path is not found, but it is not true.
I'm left to Resco file explorer, which i uninstalled some time ago coz i felt it was useless...
EDIT: Ok, i've isntalled Resco and it doesn't work! It finds my computer and shows its shares, but after having finished the procedure, the Network section doesn't show up at all! If I click on th enetwork shares button, the share i've just created is there, but clicking it, nothing happens!!!! I'M GONNA THROW MY UNI ON THE WALL!!
Please please please, help me solve without installing resco (even if I think that won't be a solution, too!)
and you didn't have to be connected in active sync when you were browsing the other computers? that's awesome! i have so much music to go through and i just do it upstairs! swwweeettt next on the to do list

Ummm what?
No i'm not connected to active sync... i don't understan what are you talking about...
i was able to connect to my networked computers with resco explorer 2005
Guys I've gotten this to work with the basic file explorer in wm6. The only problem I've found it that you can't open IP numbers but only the actual name of the computer I.e. your IP may be 192.168.0.6 but the computer name is Laptop1
If you "open path" from the menu \\Laptop1\ then it seems to work fine. hope this helps. I don't actually think you need resco. This work over wifi and actusync for me
yeah, that's what i discovered as well, but also resco is a much better file explorer, and from there you can just clock on netwrk/map drives, and blam!
it's pretty awesome.
Try this cab, it's Network Plugin for WM6 but i'm using this plugin in WM5 and work great http://www.4shared.com/file/28269154...5/NetPlug.html

However, under the Network folder, Im not able to find my computers in my LAN.

Use your Wireless LAN program under Settings\Connections\
I have, but no computers been detected....
try typing
\\<Insert the computer name you want to connect to>\<the share which have been set to be shared to the pda>
?
you know like
\\Kitchen Computer\mp3
or
\\Mary's Computer\divX
Hi All,
I'm trying to map network drive using the Resco Explorer, however Resco does not see the SAMBA (3.2.5) shares
There is nothing in sambas log suggesting the HD2 is trying to connect.
I had no problems with wm6.1 but on my 6.5.x it doesn't work.
I was searching the forum but couldn't find the answer. Anyone has an idea? Maybe someone managed to solve this?
maybe this?

instead of COMPUTER\DISK, try this: \\COMPUTER\SharedDocs (=name of the shared folder on my pc)
this works with me, good luck!

Yep, I did exactly this the other day.
Resco doesn't see samba shares directly (like a windows PC would see them in my network places or whatever), so you have to tell Resco the location.
I have an ubuntu server called "ubuntu", and my shares are "music", "photos" and so on. To get resco to see the shares I typed:
\\ubuntu\music
\\ubuntu\photos
etc...
Note, it wont work based on IP addresses (that was what originally caused my problem).
To find out your PC name (if you don't know it) on a windows machine, hold the windows key, hit pause break, and then click on computer name (this is for XP).
Cheers.
blog post about this very subject
I got it too sometimes. I dont know the reason tho.
But hey it is so easy to set it up manually.
It is longer but will work anyways. Try the method the guy 2 posts above me posted with \\COMPUTERNAME\SHAREDFOLDER
WIll work if you are in the same network.
Ah and make sure not to connect via mobile network but with WiFi as then you are not in the same net.
Thanks all of you!
It works at least partially...
Works for shares without password, doesn't work for password protected shares.When i put \\computer\myshare and then press ok then I'm asked for user name and password. As soon as I fill them in the application freezes (maybe it tries to connect?) I gave it 5 minutes and then I had to reset HD2
Strange problem
I reinstalled resco but no improvements.
Thanks again
Yeah i noticed that one too.
Do not use pass protection on shares.
It must be a bug in the Resco Explorer.
Before i thought i made a fault but i never tried it out again as i assume a freeze as not too good for the device LOL
I'm not sure where the problem is. I tried the same on P3600 (trinity) with wm6.5. It does not freeze, but is re-asking for credentials, so I guess there are two problems:
1) resco on hd2 freezes (probably when the resco cannot connect - bug)
2) authentication problem?
Probably I'll skip the password protection until someone will find the solution...
Works fine here. It sees the shares on my XP machine, but not on the 2 Win7 ones so I have to enter them manually for those. All 3 have password protection.
On one of the W7 machines it "freezes" for about 10 seconds the first time I access the share after a soft reset, for the others it comes instantly. But that particular volume is huge (a 80% full 1.5TB drive) so it might have to do with it if it lists the contents, the others only have like 30GB on them.
You might want to try menu->settings, if you have data active as well as wifi then uncheck autodetection, and delete the network entry (or entries) that aren't your local wifi.
It can happen that it finds nothing or hangs if it tries searching the cell provider's network (that can have tons of hosts) instead of your local one.

Yes - no problem for windows, I'm struggling with SAMBA (linux) shares.
Fixed freezing/credential issues when mapping drives on my HD2
Hi guys,
I had the same problem of my HTC HD2 freezing in the Network Log On dialogue when trying to map a drive, and also the issue where I was repeatedly asked for credentials which would never save. I managed to solve this issue, though in my case the problem was actually due to the network share settings on my NAS device (which is a QNAP TS-109).
What I did to remedy my problem was:
Go to the Administration page through the web-based interface for my TS-109.
Go to the Access Right Management menu.
Go to the Share Folders section.
Click on the Access Control icon for the folder I wanted to map.
Under the Guest Access Right drop-down menu I changed Deny Access to Read Only.
After that I was able to log in with my admin username and password, and to save the mapped drive on my HTC HD2 (I mapped drives successfully using both Resco File Explorer 2010 and HTC Network Plugin 1.0).
Hopefully this will work for anyone else experiencing this problem with a QNAP NAS, or if not then hopefully following similar steps on your NAS will yield favourable results.
Kate.
I am using HD2 with a Qnap NAS . Initially , got problem mapping drive as described by previous post . I did not do any changes on NAS . But , in the resco password page , i uncheck permanent login . Seems did the trick . Able to mapped folder on the NAS , even Hidden folders also . Hope this helps .

I've post this in Resco Explorer Forum, just yesterday:
Re: File Explorer hangs when mapping Network Drive on WM 6.5
First, excuse me for my bad english (I'm italian).
I think to be solved the bug in this mode (I've a Netgear STORA NAS):
- select "Work" instead of "Internet settings" in wi-fi network adapter
- select "Work" instead of "Internet settings" in your wi-fi connection
Now, I can succesfully map all my shared resources and add them in "My Network", but I can't use wi-fi to connect in Internet.
So I've revert both the above settings to "Internet settings" ad all it's ok, browsing in Internet and accessing to my network folder on NAS.
I think that the bug is present only when we try to map a network folder the first time.
I hope to be useful to solve our problem.
Bye
Although last post is long time ago, and mine is too recent. yet I hope it would be useful to somebody, and be able to repay the great advantages I myself got from XDA forum.
HardwareC with Win7 Home Prem, HTC HD2 with RescoExplorer v.8, Wifi Connection
first, as most of the posts, I can see PC while mapping in RescoExplorer.
yet when expanding the +, I had to enter username and password, then I get an error.
well, what I did is that I shared a folder with everyone full access on my PC.
then on resco mapping I typed the full path, i.e. \\computername\sharedfolder
then, I got it...
NOTE: when exiting Resco, and accessing the mapped folder, I still had to enter my windows username and password to access my PC shared folder that has no password...
Thus, I think when sharing a folder with a password, Resco goes nuts. for two passwords must be applied...
Im not to sure where to look for this but i was looking for information on how to access my home network to access and play songs, vids over a wifi connection to play files straight off my computer or my Hard Drive.
My gf's Samsung omnia hd comes with a programme/application to do so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I do it via Resco Explorer, it has this feature build in. You can easily browse the content of your PC this way.

i used to use this, but since i got my HD2, i've been using Resco Explorer too! it's fantastic!
Network HD2
I've now got Resco Explorer after seeing this thread but still have no idea how to go about setting up the network.
Step by step instructions please, anyone?
Many thanks in advance.
You don't need 3rd party software for this - you can do it with file explorer.
Open file explorer
Do Menu, Goto, Open path, New path
Enter the shared folder name
Click OK
It's then available from the dropdown at the top left where you can change from device to storage card and back.
Network HD2
Hmmm... tried that, all seemed to go well, then it said it "cannot connect to server due to settings". Even though i'm connected via wifi and can get online thru various other programs!
Tried getting the internet settings from o2 UK and their website "cannot connect to this service at the moment" !
I think someone is trying to tell me not to do this!!
Hi
I was wondering if its possible to map your phone as a network drive, i know you can do this vice versa with ES File manager but i was wondering if you could access your phone over a local network?
bump bump bump
Im not exactly sure what your after but is the 'websharing' app of any use?

thanks! that seems like what i wanted more or less, although it looks like you cant actually map it as a network drive, I just wanted a way to access the phones memory over wifi using windows explorer.
wifi file explorer may do the trick...
Ive tried wifi file explorer.. works wel! Im sure websharing is a slight step up with additional features and you can view using explorer window..?

I saw that this was an old post but I though i would answer anyway if you havn't found what you were looking for ^_^
Samba Filesharing adds your sdcard as a removeable drive in "Computer"
use "File Expert"
its free and have all the features, you are looking for ..
Samba Filesharing
As said earlier: You should look for Samba Filesharing (i found it somewehere on XDA, but not in X10 subforums). It does exactly what you're asking.
I'm using it alot. When at home, i simply enable wifi, which triggers Sambafilesharing to be enabled as well. Then, from PC i have a mapped networkdrive to \\android\sdcard.
On X10 the user and password can be changed.
It takes the IP adres from Wifi, if you map a network drive, then you may want to use static ip.
[Edit]
fileExpert is the other way round. You can acces samba shares with your phone. But TS wants to access phone as a drive.
That's it. Real handy. Good luck!
