Mapping shares and drives in MM2003
Hi, I am considering buying a Axim 300 model. One condition I have is that I can properly access fileshares on my desktop win98 and 2k machines while in my living room watching tv and just lounging around with WiFi. Can I do this? Can I also map printer to the MM2003 device or is that impossible?
Thanks have a good evening. I'm contemplating buying one...its so hard to decide!!!!! great for keeping me organized, joting down notes, mp3 and NES emulators too I hear ![]() hummmmmmm help me decide | |||

\\server\share is all you need to do...
You should have no problem doing so. Printing is a whole other issue. You'll need a third party utility. I'm not sure what works with WM 2003... | ||||||||||

Pockerlan makes connecting to shares easy and keeping them saved and ready to go. Right now I am in my living room listening to mp3 off my desktop, surfing the web and checking email...

I actually use Resco File Explorer Explorer to map drives. Much better than the standard File Manager, but you can map without buying anything.

Does playing mp3s off a share, as another poster is doing, require additional software? | |||||

Playing music on a network...
From what I just read, you can use Resco File Explorer to see shared files on a desktop in your PocketPC. I read on Microsoft's MM2003 site in their support link that Windows Media Player can play files stored on a network by typing the network path.

I use Resco Explorer and it maps drives no problem and shows all computers on the network. You can then create a short cut to specific foloders on those drives with no problem.
I tried useing MWP to stream audio over the wireless, playing WMA was no problem, playing MP3 sucked as it had buffering problems. So I use PocketMusic and have the buffer set for 1mb - works great. I've created playlists of the majority of my music on my desktop and Pocketmusic knows where the files are. | |||||

OOPS SORRY for the typos !!!!!!
I use PrintPocketCE from fieldsofware.com to print to network printers. No you can not run programs from a Shared Drive, since they (programs) are not PXA255 executibles. Hope this helps. | |||
