is there a way to stream mp3s over a network drive using a wifi card? I have the 2210 with the D-link CF card, can view my network shares just fine so that's setup properly.

Make sure your network is viewable as a folder. I use PocketMVP and create a playlist. The PPC will load the files when it is their turn to play.

OK \\laptop\music is the share that I am trying to access... I can get to it in file explorer, but how do I set it up so it's browseable like a local folder so PocketMVP will let me access it?

See the posts below about Net Runner and Net Use as a way to map the shared folders onto the PPC. Also Resco File Explorer can do this but at a cost $.

It has a feature "Show the network folder" where it adds a folder to your device called \network that applications see.. The network folder looks/acts like it is just a storage card in your iPAQ.

For playing mp3s, I use PocketMind's PocketMusic http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm open a file in poocket music and when it gives you the tree style view, you will see a folder \network to navigate and open MP3s or play lists..

I'm trying this netuse program, and I can't seem to find any network drives. I have a shared folder on my desktop computer (C:\MP3s), which I have set to shared, but I can't see it in net use.

Also, I can't figure out how to ActiveSync wirelessly. It just goes from "Connecting" to "Not Connected". All I can do wirelessly is surf the web. Can anyone help with configuration? Thanks in advance!
