Just a quick one, is it possible to see diamond as a device in my local network? It connects to internet throught my router but it is not visible as another device, same in the other way, i cannot see shared folders in my network from my diamond.
Any suggestions please.
to access your shared folders on your net - use TotalCommander (has a plugin-folder in root-directory)
to access diamond from net - share a folder
no seriously - have not had any need for it (and don't think its really useful either) - but I would try to find an ftp-server for wm or something...

Hey, i just got my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday and i'm already loving it. Well i was looking around to improve it even more and found a couple of things like the tweaks and stuff but how would i go and put them on my phone? like .CAB files, Gsen, Diamond TF3D Config, lightsaber, and disabling 3G and... w/e that other one was that connects to internet other then wifi. Thank you if someone could answer my questions
Easiest would be to copy them via activesync / Mobile Device center, or just connecting the Diamond as a Storage device. Just connect the USB cable to your PC.
So i pretty much just drag and drop them into a folder of my chose and it'll work? Also do i do the same with tomtom7 application and maps?
hmm.. I did what you said and i just put the unzipped files into the harddrive in my program files but it didn't work i tried opening setup but it's and opera file.
on another not where can i get the cab file for no 3G ?
I have a local file server accessble via wifi (or should be) its "\\server"
WHEN Wifi is on and connected and I put that in File Manager "\\server", it says cant connect, but if I put that in PIE it goes there.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get this to work? It used to work in WM6.0.
You should try Resco File Explorer; a LOT better for that purpose. I have been in a similar situation in mapping the drive and it works flawlessly. There's a 15 day trial to check it out; think you'll be pretty impressed.
Try "\\servername\sharename"...
try to access a particular share instead of getting the shares list by using the "\\servername" convention...
try something like "\\servername\sharename" and see what happens...
alternately, i highly recommend schap's rip of the HTC Network Plugin v1.0 Build 30468...it will make the steps of accessing commonly used local shares a whole lot easier by allowing you to map the drive into the "\Network" folder on your device...see 4th post in this thread:

enjoy!!!
I dont want to buy Resco, but it does work nicely.
\\servername\sharename fails as well and \\servername\sharename\ etc..
I will try the plugin and see. (Update) I instlled it and cant find it anywhere.. How do I "use" it?
Thanks!

Total Commander is free and does this well.
It also has a registry editor, text editor.
Did I mention it is free.
Another thing to check...
maybe your wifi connection is set up in "Internet" mode as opposed to "Work" mode...might explain why it works via PIE...
i think i remember experiencing total failures accessing local shares if my wifi connection was set up as "Internet"
on Settings->Connections->Wifi, edit the particular wifi connection you use and on the first page in the second combo box labeled "Connects to:", make sure the value is "Work"
give that a shot and let us know!!!
That was it!! Thanks! Odd setting really.

woohoo!!! i'm a noob WinMo user as of May 2008 with my Tytn2...coming from 5 years of using something from motorolla that was equivalent to a nokia 3310...totally basic PHONE in the truest sense...no color screen, no camera, big and clunky, pathetic interface...useful ONLY for voice and sms
but my point is that coming from decades of using Windows, somehow WinMo makes sense in a microsoft kind of way with all its occassionally cryptic features and inexplicable odd behaviors...i'm a geek and i'm lovin' it
before this thread is closed, the network plugin is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...i used to use resco for mapping drives but found its behavior to be erratic when my wifi signal was weak...sometimes taking ages to try to open a share just before the wifi icon would show that the connection had dropped
network plugin, IMHO, seems to work a bit better...YMMV

check in Settings->Connections->Network Plugin
while resco's network drive mapping configuration is accessible only from within resco (even though the shares resco mounts are accessible system-wide in any application whether resco is running or not), the network plugin gives a better "integrated" feeling with WinMo even though it is not much different from resco's capabilities
Got the HTC network plugin working. Now I have 2 ways to access the share.
Hello, is there a way or a program that allows you to browse your network shared documents from the Diamond.
For example I want to log with the Diamond in my home WiFi and play music and videos from the hard disk of my PC.
Thanks in advance.
Of course - standard explorer have this abbility
Just there is option to open path - use it

He wants to use his Diamond as a mediacenter.
I also would like to use my diamond as a mediacenter to watch all my divx right away on the diamond by streaming.
Grtzzz
I use Resco Explorer - but in "MY NETWORK" there is nothing even when I am connected to the network and there is shared folders on the PC - can you tell me how to share under Vista so I can see the folders on the Diamond. And also is there a way to configure the network settings on the Diamond - such as WORKGROUP.

You need to map the network drive i.e. long press on 'My Network' and then select 'Map Drive' and choose the folder/drive on your network (after you have shared the folder/drive on the desktop)
i'd recommend Network Folder plugin v1.0
it integrates network drive/folder mapping on to the inbuilt file explorer.....its more like an update to windows rather than a 3rd party app.
and yes, it works like charm...just share a drive from ur pc , get your firewalls set and you are ready to go....
Total Commander is a good option.
I have my Tilt connected to the internet @ home via my Router using wifi..I have some files (mp3s, videos) shared on the network via the router..how do I access these files from my tilt? Do I need a special program or what?
nobody knows how? I just want to be able to access my shared folders on my home pc through wifi..I can't seem to get it..
I personally like resco file explorer. Unfortunatly haven't been able to use it to get on my Windows 7 computer though
I have resco explorer 2008 and I go browse under NETWORK and nothing shows up..do i need to configure anything?
Have you looked at Remote Desktop ?

I am glad you asked i have always wanted to do this too. and i just found out how.
crap it is pay ware if anyone can find a similar thing that is freeware please post.
Ok I just found out why it wasn't letting me view the shared computer...it was Norton360 firewall..as soon as I disabled it..it let me access the files from the pc on my phone..my question now is how do i tell the firewall to let me see the files..because I do want it on..but still want to access my files.
euklid, are you behind a router to the internet? if so you basically have a hardware firewall (it doesnt pass on traffic to ports unless u specify it to do so) Norton is crap imo.... Windows Firewall does what it needs to do...
i use network folder plugin. cant remember where to get it from i've used it on wizard hermes and now the tilt. it does exactly what u want. it installs in start>settings>connections just go in there u just have to map it to ur shared folders.
Hi, I hope someone can help me.
I was struggling on why opening a Pocket Excel file became so slow on my X1.
Today I realised the reason why: it opens a network connection and downloads (or uploads) some KB of data.
The same for the other Office Mobile applications.
Does anyone know why and, most important, how to prevent it ?
Thanks in advance.
Solution
It was due to Resco File Explorer: if you map a network drive and flag the option "make available to other applications", when an Office Mobile tool starts it searches for available files also on the network drive.
Unfortunately, if the only available network connection is the GSM, it establishes a GSM connection to search for.
Hoping it helps someone else
