Wireless network browsing of file shares

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

Have you went back to basics.....ie...made sure all network features (for
shares etc...) are set up correctly? When you enter in the share name in
explorer, are you sure you're putting in the correct sharename? What about
the correct slash  
it should default to the correct one, at least it does on my PPC, but don't
know about yours "\\" instead of "//" ? Are you making sure that you're
putting in two (2) slashes at the beginning as above? Just go back to
basics with your network.
One thing you might try before all that (to save you time) is if you have a
firewall, make sure you have it set up right to allow traffic through/from
all your shares. I have Norton, and it is pretty straight forward as it has
a 1 specific area to go to to set it up, and it is pretty much automated
(thank goodness for me   ). Anyway, I hope this helps.

If you're running windows xp, also make sure that "simple file sharing" is
disabled. You can find this option under
Tools>Folder Options>View then scroll to the bottom of advanced settings.
