Accessing A Network Share From a Pocket PC

[dinorider]

Firstly, I do not actually have a Pocket PC. I am using Microsoft's Pocket PC - WM 5.0 emulator to test a Pocket PC app built in VS2005 (VB.NET). It is a test application that Microsoft included as part of a SQL Server Mobile Edition tutorial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/med302_msdn_sql_mobile.asp.

The problem is, I can't get the Pocket PC to access any network shares. The source *.sdf file resides on a network share.

Is this a known problem with the emulator?

I'm using ActiveSync 4.1...DMA connection....the device is connected OK. I can transfer files to the "Mobile Device" from Windows XP Pro. I just can't browse the directories on the PC from the Pocket PC emulator.

Any help would be appreciated.

- dinoriderIf I understand correctly, you're using the emulator and while able to browse the emulated ppc...you can't browse the PC from the emulated PPC.
If you are using Activesync conduit, you won't be able to even with a PPC. Activesync supports TCP but not IP...or the other way around...I forget.
You'll need an actually networked PPC to test the requirement.
