Problem viewing network computers/shares

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I have also had this problem, although on a smaller scale.

I am running Windows XP Pro on a home wireless network, and an iPAQ 5550, I
can connect to the "All Users" share on Win XP from the iPAQ, this gives
read only access. I cannot connect to any shares that are private, despite
knowing the id / password required to access them, as I am not prompted for
this information. Does anyone know if you can pass the id and password in
the path?
