Aximsitewifiicon Access to a shared folder in another segment of LAN

Hi everyone.
My LAN looks like this:

I would like to access a shared folder on the PC computer with my WiFi-Enabled Axim X51v. As you can see, the PC is in a different segment of network (different subnet) than PDA. I use Resco File Explorer to map network drives and have no problems with getting to shared resources on my notebook (also WiFi-Enabled, so it's in the same subnet). I can also use the Internet on my Axim. However when I try to connect to the PC (no matter if I use NetBIOS name or IP address) I get a message, that network path cannot be found. I tried to use Total Commander for PPC and Windows File Explorer, but the result is always the same.
I read somewhere (MSDN I believe) that Windows Mobile devices use NetBIOS (not IP) to get to LAN resources. Is it possible to connect using IP protocol? When I do a 'net use \\192.168.0.2\' on the notebook it completes successfully and I can get to PC without any trouble.
In fact the PC also runs a HTTP server and when I type 'http://192.168.0.2' into PocketIE it shows the page correctly.
Any ideas what shall I do?

Is the laptop able to access the PDA? I would try to troubleshoot it in that direction first. Have you tested this if all is on teh same subnet?

I can ping the PDA from the notebook. It doesn't matter if I use IP or device name - it always responds fine. I can't access the Axim using Windows Explorer on laptop (network name cannot be found) but I believe it is because Windows Mobile can't host shared folders (can it?).
