I have a dilemma.

Basically I want to be able to set up an Ad-hoc wireless network between my windows laptop and x51v so I can share files between them while I'm on the go. I realise I need a network share, and that's easy to set up on a windows computer but how do I access that share from my pda?

Do I need specialised software like Resco Explorer, or are there free alternatives out there which can map network drives?

Thanks in advance

I am using Resco Explorer right now to access files on my server.

but do you know any free software that can do it?

Try Total commander? I don't know if it can do this, but it's free and very stable.

You can do it with the file manager that comes on the AXim. Use the Menu -> Open Path in open path type \\computername\sharename the backslashes are neccessary but use your real names. Using this method I could copy and past files.

 

talking about this total commander?

it's shareware. not free.

oops, sorry, that's the regular version. the pocketpc version is freeware. cool

It is freeware. It does work. I'm using it right now. Haven't had any problems with it.

there's a tutorial, lost the link, basically if you are having problems, you want to check and make sure your connection is set to "work"...that clears up a lot of stuff.

If you just want to view media files, I am now able to open them directly from TCPMP player. I can see the files, but not launch them, using the regular file manager. Total commander allows launch. You still do need to know your computer name and enter with "\\"
