I've got a wireless router, and I have 3 out of my 4 computers linked together with mapped network drives. These computers are in the "MSHOME" part of "My Network"

Now My Mac and Pocket PC on the other hand.. are in two of their own categories.

The pocket PC is in "Unkown" and the mac is in "WORKGROUP"

How do I get the pocket PC into the MSHOME directory of my network?

(If that didn't make any sense at all, its because I'm writing this late at night. ;p)

As far as I'm aware, you can't make a PocketPC 'visible' as part of a workgroup of other machines on a network. The NetBIOS file-sharing server implementation isn't there, though you can connect to Windows networks as a client.

ADBrown is right - it's not possible to share your PPC contents over a LAN.
