Hi everyone - I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me what I'm missing as I try to connect to a windows file share over an 802.11b wireless connection. I had no problem getting general wireless network access set up, but have yet to be able to connect to a windows file share. I'm on a large network (1200+ APs) and am trying to access the share across different VLANS. I know that the APs are passing Windows File Share data over the network (I'm able to connect to a share via my laptop) but I'm unable to connect via my Axim. I've tried using Resco and the other products discussed here in the message boards but have had no lick

I'm beginning to wonder if the issues is routing related. Has anyone been able to use the Axim's sharing capabilties across different subnets on a large network?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sharing across SubNetworks?

As far as I know, the default windows IP fileshare cannot span subnetworks. You need a protocol such as NetBUIE or IPX to do that. Neither of which I have found a driver for PPC.

I believe PPC just scans the Subnet it is attached to for the Windows share ports. If it gets a hit, then you can connect. In fact, this is interesting cause teqnically you can span workgroups on the same network.

But then i don't know alot.

I know it can suck, but how about editing your PPC's hosts file and adding explicit names/ip addresses.

Thanxs,
