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
to connect:
0.0.0.0<00>/XXX.XX.XXX.XX <- my computer IP
jcifs.util.transport.
TransportException
java.net.ConnectionException:

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 have a problem in creating vpn for wifi connection...
our university use vpn over wifi to connent...means that first you must connect to wifi and then run vpn,type your user and pass and then you can connect to internet...
the question is how can i do the same steps on my win mobile phone?
my ppc is touch viva...
thanks...
Is you VPN client web based? That is, after you connect, do you open a web browser to enter username and password? Or is it a separate program that you launch?
hi.thanks...
it6¥6s a saparate program...just like dail-up connection window that we enter usermame and password...i think it had a domain tab also that was empty...
thay create it for xp,vista and seven that can6¥6t be opened in win mobile...
If it's a separate program than you need to find out if there is a Windows Mobile Client available. A program that runs on a Windows XP machine will not run on Windows Mobile.
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
There is an app that uses internet to connect to a server, I need to know what server it connects to. Is there anyway to find out?
I configured my pc to be remotely controlled using the tablet, using rdp. The software im using is parallels. Also, tried the ms remote desktop app. Both works wonders over lan. But i want to access my pc when im outside, through internet.
I know there are apps like teamviewer and splashtop. But they require me to install a server app in the pc. Paralells dont. So i configured a no-ip host, port forwarding, ddns in my router and firewall in my pc, to accept incoming remote desktop connections through internet. But it seems the only way to do it in android is by installing a server app in the pc. Which i think is useless because i already have everything configured to do it without extra software and i dont want to create a teamviewer account.
Any ideas or suggestions?
