Okay, I'm going to make a bunch of assumptions, so here goes;

You need to make sure you have shared folders on your PC for starters. You can also share a whole drive if you like, but as long as you have a good firewill that will prevent outside access. (Right click the folder, Sharing and Security... and Share it)

Once you've got it shared, then you can open up the stock explorer and type in \\$computername , so for me, I would type in \\Meche . This will then prompt for a user/pass, however, if you haven't done anything, then simply pressing OK should get you through it fine.

Enjoy.

Go to Treeview(or keep pressing the up button lol), where you can see My Device, My network, Recycle Bin, My Reg, My FTP

Tap and hold on My Network then click on map Drive and pick the folder you want to view on your ppc

if that doesnt work(didnt just now on me lol might be due to a new version of resco after updating my Vario)

in Resco tap on Menu then go to file, then to network, then Map Drive :)

sometimes this works, sometimes it doesnt. it happens with me alot. nothing to do with XP but the way the wireless works on the mobile device

I think it is a service problem though as when i right click a folder to share ,it comes up with an error saying the service is not started

just not sure on the service :)

[Guest PayableOnDeath]

I have looked thou my XP and I think it would be the "Server" service

[Guest Tech]

ah ok - sorry i misread in that case! My apologese.

[Guest J273]
