WM5 and 6.1 cannot connect to a shared folder on our network
We have been unable to use a Symbol MC55 running WM 6.1 to access a shared folder on our network. Permissions are right, handheld can pick up and send email through exchange 2007, you can ping everything all day long. You just cannot access a shared folder on a server. At this point, even Motorola doesn't seem to know what to do. I know somebody out there has tackled this problem.

In File Explorer, select Menu > Open Path > New Path.
When it asks you for a path , enter the name of the PC whose shared folders you want to see. When it asks for a password, enter the password you use to log in to this PC.
Now you should be able to see the shared folders on this PC. You cannot open them from your Ipaq , but you can copy them to your Ipaq, then open them.
There is a program, Resco Explorer - which will allow you to open shared files on your PC from your IPAQ. I use this to watch DVDs that I have stored on my PC.
Hope this helps.

Laura- I had already tried file explorer with open path. That method provided only an error and never a network login challenge. Using resco, I was challenged for a username and password, but to no avail. It even allows you to browse by netbios name on the subnet you are on, but using a correct network login doesn't work. I did read that you had to have the microsoft handheld console in order to be athenticated on a secured network?
Here are the first few lines from the Mobile Device Manager website:
Is it true that this is the only way to get authentication without lowering security protocols?Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 Service Pack 1
System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) enables Windows Mobile 6.1 devices to be deployed and managed like PCs and laptops in the IT infrastructure, providing them network access to corporate data and making them first-class citizens on the corporate network. MDM provides customers the ability to set and control policies using Active Directory and Group Policy.
David You need to have shared folders.
Laura- The folder we are testing with is shared to the "Everybody" group with all permissions set to full control for any authenticated user on the network.
David - Is the computer with this shared folder running XP or Vista?
Laura - Server 2003. We use it to share folders throughout the network.
David - By the way, I was finally able to map a network drive to a PC if the handheld was on the same subnet as that PC but only using Resco as was recommended by Remo Knops.
David - Hi,
Has this issue ever been resolved.
I get exactly the same problem on my device running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1
Resco works fine, but File Explorer cannot connect to any device on the local network.
Looking at previous posts on other websites about this issue indicates this may be a regression as it was working.
Can we please escalate this problem and get it fixed.
