Hi all,
Has anyone sucessfully maped a network drive from their home PC onto their diamond using resco?
at the monet i can create a vpn with my home PC, then lauch total commander.
In the top line i type \\mypcname\shareddrive and i can view the contents of that shared folder.
this is all well and good but i much prefer using resco to total commander but cant map the drive.
if i go resco>file>network>map network drive and fill in the appropriate details i am greeted with a message that the drive is either not avalable or i do not have permission to access it.
both of these point are incorrect becase accessing the drive with TC proves it does exist and i do have permission so whats the story with resco?
if anyone has any experiance with this or can think of some details i should have added ill be glad to hear from ya.

I am trying to access files in my shared folders on my desktop running XP.
My wireless router sees my Tilt and my Tilt see my computer.
When I use Resco file explorer, go to Network and map the desktop drive I see four folders:
My Pictures
Shared Music
Shared Video
SharedDocs
When I try to access these folders by tapping on them nothing happens. There are files in them and they are set to share.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
For sharing, you have to have XP or Vista pro. The home ones don't support remote sharing. Found that the hard way :\.

Kareem, that is incorrect. XP home does support sharing (don't know what you mean by "remote" sharing, because sharing will always be remote, right? )
I have XP home and share all the time with my wizard. Don't know what to suggest about this right now, but if you are having problem with this method, then there is another brilliant way for a better solutiong. Search for "mocha ftp server" on google. This is a freeware that sits on ur pocket pc and runs an ftp server. You can access this server from ur desktop for writing files to ur handheld "AND" to read files from it as well (i.e. it allows 2-way sharing) which otherwise impossible over network without installing specialised software over ur desktop (like microsoft portrait)
why not use resco file explorer.. much easier...

he uses resco, read the first post
i think it's a problem with the rights-management on your shared folders
check if they are readable for everyone, cause i don't know if resco file explorer is able to authentificate with your prefered credentials

I am able to open network shares from my Kaiser using Total Commander. I can access shares on XP Home Desktop and Vista Home Premium Laptop. Vista will not allow me to be logged in as the same user on laptop and Kaiser at the same time but XP does seem to allow this. The user/password prompt can take a while to appear initially.
Have you definitely enabled sharing on the PC?
Can you access these shares from another PC?
Another option which might suit your needs is Orb. This is brilliant for me I can access files and webcam and TV whilst out and about on my Kaiser and from any PC.
hey there,
im using my day off to play a little bit with my td. now i would like to build network connection via wlan through my router to my desktop so i can move files from pc to ppc and vica versa. problem is that im not able to see my desktop on the phone, nor to see my phone on the desktop. i cant even get into any filesharing option(s) on the diamond
since now im using resco explorer...
help needed
What have you tried so far?
In Resco Explorer, try Menu > File > Network > Map Drive and then enter the computer name and share in the format \\computer\share.
You may find there are no computers/shares listed in the bottom window (hence why you have to manually enter it above) however in my case I'd always put this down to me using Samba on Linux but perhaps it just doesn't support this sort of network 'browsing' to find what shares are available.

yeehaaw thanks a lot! that made it. still a a bit uncomfortable but i think once added i dont have to reenter the path.
so now i just have to figure out how to make this work vice versa... wonder if it is as easy as it sounds i'll let you know
thanks so far!!
I don't think it's possible the other way round... but that shouldn't matter as from your phone you've got two-way traffic right now.
You're right about not needing to reenter the name - just hit My Device at the top (or traverse up to the tree to the top) and you'll find a My Network at the same level - inside here is your previously mapped share(s).

Hi,
I have tried to map my Vista laptop via Resco as stated above but comes up with error :
Cannot map network path, network resorce cannot be found.....
As I dont fully understand what I am doing can someone do a walkthough please?
I have tried to search the forum, but can get it to search keywords.
Thanks in advance
PS Can I map the internal storage via windows explorer?
You guyz should try Total Commander, it has a plugin for LAN. Works very good, even transferring big files. Running Vista Ultimate.
Greetings.
Thanks Sergio for your reply, I have total commander but have no idea how to use it, Can you offer any step by step instructions to connect to my vista laptop.
Thanks

Sure no prob do this:
-Turn your WiFi connection. (usually best performance settings works best)
-Access Total Commander.
-In the main page, where you see Internal Storage and device. You should see a folder named \\Plugins. Access this folder.
-Then access the folder named LAN.
-Then access the <new server> option.
-Name your connection.
-When asked for the server name, type in the computer you want to access (you can find the name by going in your PC to the network file and check which files are shared on your computer, click on them and you should get the name of the server "pic attached")
-You are done enjoy.
-Vista kicks assss.
Greetings to all.
Thanks Sergio,
I have followed your steps,Now I can connect to the Laptop folder in the network Directory which is the location \\LAPTOP. I can connect fine but the folders are not visable so appears to be empty in Total Commander which we know its not.
I also have a NAS drive which I can connect to following your steps with ease. Trouble is I dont want to use this as it is by Back up drive.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks again.

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.

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.
my shift is liberated but i wanted to install shift pack since i only have a few tools on wm side but i need LNK file i checked the thread on liberating shift
do i have to liberate it again.
how do i know if the usb tool is working .because the wm side dosent give much info.
if u hv problem with WMDC sometimes connecting & sometimes not, dont worry. the usb tool is always working when u set to attach to WMDC. I personally dont use WMDC with very annoying big dialog box.
What i did, disable any connection with WMDC/ActiveSync(WinXP)
Share a folder, use total commander (or resco etc) to access the shared folder (and create a hotlist for quick & easy access) . And I also have ftp server access using total commander. so we have external storage either on Vista/Seven harddrive or online ftp
