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..

Hi, I'm a noob. I have a work email that I think uses exchange (it's a big corporation and we have outlook/entourage in the offices). I can also access my email from anywhere via https://webmail.*****.com/
I can't figure out how to sync my mail app with that email. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try the "Exchange by TouchDown", I'm sure will help
Are you using the default Froyo Email app? or something else?
your username/password combo should be your normal login credentials to login to the webmail service. If your company requires you to append the domain to the user name then it will look like this: domain\username
The server address will be the url of the webmail service for OWA. You may need to also allow all SSL connections for this to work properly.
Hope that helps.
there also is a chance that your company has not provisioned you for Exchange ActiveSync. If none of the above work, give your IT department a call and verify that youre mailbox is enabled for EAS
in the default htc app choose for exchange and put these exactly like underneath
e-mail adres [email protected]
server adres webmail.*****.com
password the password you use to log in to webmail
yes, your server requires an encrypted ssl connection
No domain name is required!!!
Hm. I tried everything above and still cant get it to work. Will talk to IT, thanks guys!
Hi
I had wifi in my office where we could use net without any problem, now proxy server has been set up. I know all the settings but cant figure out how to configure these on my HTC Legend (using stock Rom).
Kindly guide me how to configure my Legend to use internet through proxy
And how can I join a domain to access my folders on the network and use internet?
Any help will be highly appreciated

Use a Proxy program
I am assuming you are on a windows domain. I suggest you download a program called Proxy Droid from the marketplace and setup the details on it. the reason being that windows domain requires NTLM authentication that very few program provide.
Cheers,
Vikram.
I'll try and hit back
proxy Droid works for me
We use an IPSEC VPN at work, through Nortel Contivity Extranet Client, now know as Avaya VPN Client.
The authentication uses a Group ID and Group Password, as well as an username, password and a response only RSA token.
Are there any Android VPN clients that I can use on my phone to connect to the VPN?
Bump, anyone able to help me out?
Hi,
is there some app that would let me fill proxy url (with authentication) and then run traffic through that proxy? Or at least some add—on to some browser, something like switchy omega is for desktop chrome.
I have found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.assets.androidproxy but this doesn't support authentication.
I know there should be some solutions for rooted phone, do I need to get root access for this to work?
I also know that I can setup proxy for the access point, but that means always fill username and password by hand.
Thanks
