Mobility Site - View Single Post - Help needed to browse the network wirelessly

Hi guys,
I tried to search this forum and others, and I've also read the wifi faq's around, but I can't seem to find a solution to this problem.

My pda: Axim x51v with WM 5.0 and built in wlan card.

At home we have a wlan network operated from a winxp pro sp2 server with a Linksys wrt54g Time router. It's WPA encrypted.

Now, I can connect to internet, browse sites and all that stuff, but I can't seem to be able to browse the network files.

I use Resco file explorer, and have tried to map my network drives. I can connect to my own laptop through the network, but I cannot connect to other machines, or the server itself (which has all the goodie files

.

When I press the little plus sign next to the computer name I get a logon screen where I must input username and password. On the server I have a login name + pwd, but whatever I try I get login failed. Do I also need to fill in the domain?

I have tried to use both autodetect mode, and manually printing the ip + netmask, but to no use.

If I try to map it without pressing the plus it gives this message (ok, I know it's lame to try, but gave it a shot):
"Cannot map network path. Network resource cannot be found or you do not have a permission to access the network. Contact your network administrator."

This is driving me crazy. Have been working on it the whole evening...

Any help would be appreciated :D
