if your really serious about using your files on the network share. you
should really consider Resco File Explorer. the default file explorer on
your PPC (once connected) will only let you copy and paste files from your
file share. it will not let you "open" files stored on the share (so to
open a word doc, or picture, or mp3 you have to copy it to your pocketpc)
With Resco, you can actually leave the files on the share and open them.
they have a free demo of the product, and it is well worth the money.

Resco is a good product, but if you run into hassles too bad then check out
GSFinder+, a free explorer that also allows persistent network connections.

Good Luck
