Hey folks - I am using NetUse and it works great for me, up to a point. I have a Jornada 568 with a linksys wireless cf network adapter. I connect to my home network through an ad hoc connection with a linksys usb wireless adapter which is connected to my pc. My PC connects via ethernet to the rest of the network which is, inturn, connected to a cable modem. I am using Internet Connection Sharing in XP to connect to the internet through my ethernet network.

I can access the shares on the pc that I connect to with my pocketpc but can't seen any other shares on the network. Does anyone know how I can access the shares on the other computers?

Thanks!

Well, I answered my own question. I bridged the wireless and ethernet connection in XP and now they are in the same subnet (had to assign ip's manually but already was doing that on my network). I can see everything now in my network browser :-)
