I have a small network in my house. I have a Ipaq 3970 with BT. I use the Belkin BT access point. I can surf the web just fine. Is it possible to connect to a network share (I have a MP3 share that I want to connect to). The computer doing the sharing is not the same one that I sync with. I sync with Win XP, but my share is on a W2K Server box. Any ideas???

Thanks in advance,

Don

Depends on what you want to do once you are connected. You should be able to connect, but you'll need to copy the file to your 3970 to play it. Bluetooth is NOT fast enough.

Hello,

What I would like to be able to do is copy files from my MP3 share on my W2k server to my IPAQ via BT. However I'm unable to see the share. I can ping my Server by IP address and FQDN Suspect some kind of authenticatin problem just not sure what? I tried using netrunner with no luck. I used Vxutil for test pinging. Still stuck... :(
Any more ideas??

Thanks,

Don
