I have a number of SMB shares configured in my A101 (Settings > WiFi > Shares). These shares exist on my LAN. Usually they are made available on the tablet automatically under /mnt/storage/network/smb.
But occasionally, they are missing and I cannot find a way to make them available again. The shares *are* browsable using FE under 'network', but not via the /mnt/storage/network/sbm folder.
Any idea what I'm missing?

Is there a way to add my TItan to my home network via Wifi (not 3g) so I can access shared files on my PC? And vice-versa?
Turn on wifi and connect to your home network...
Not sure if there is software that supports Windows' file sharing though. You might have to use something like FTP instead.
The titan has built in wi-fi... you can connect it to your network that way.
If you wish to access files on your PC, you'll need an application capable of doing that. I dont think the built in file explorer does it. I use resco file explorer. There is an option to map network drives. I find that once you enable wi-fi and try to connect to your PC it takes 60 seconds, and is pretty fast after that.
I know you can also use activesync to connect to your device over the wireless. this should get you the functionality fo connecting to your device from the PC.
Edit::
I had to use pocket hosts to make my device talk to my PC.. and it was tricky to setup. This was another device with Windows mobile 2003 on it though... havent tried with WM6.1.. Maybe it got easier.
Install the attached cab file. Add any shared folders from your home computers onto your Titan. Add network shared folders from Start | Settings | Connections | Network Plugin.
This will let you access your network files on your phone. Not sure about the other way around. You can try \\your.wifi.phone.ip\program files\ to see if you access your phone's folders through your home computers.
Not at home right now, so can't test the home computer to phone mapping - let me know if this does work for you.

I keep getting a "Map Drive failed" error.
Here's my settings:
Remote Path: \\ASUS-F3JM\Public
Local Name: Public
When I click "Map Drive" I get the error. Any ideas?
I was thinking it had to do with Domain/Workgroup settings on the phone. How do you specify those? However, when in the settings of HTC Network Plugin, I can browse to Network Neighborhood--> ASUS-F3JM, but there's no folders showing up under my computer. I already checked and made sure sharing is on on the laptop (it shares just fine with the other pc's on the network).
ps - i'm using Vista Business 64bit on the laptop
Some more history - this used to work pretty well under WinMo6.0, but was causing the below error on occasion in 6.1, and also on the TouchPro. I always have a FTP server (http://filezilla-project.org/) running on all my machines at home, and end up using a browser (opera mini) to connect to my home drives via the ftp method. Works well if you are downloading off the home machines.
I haven't found a decent ftp client for winmo that allows true add/delete files across both connecting systems.

Yeah, I have the latest version of dcd's ROM, obviously using WinMo6.1, so maybe I'll have to try the ftp thing when I get a free minute.
As far as I know Resco File Explorer will allow you to browse FTPs as if they are local files and Mocha FTP is freeeware now (it is an FTP server for Windows Mobile) so you can use that to copy files to you phone from other computers.

I use Resco File Explorer to access Shares on my Home PC's via my WiFi Lan. It works very well. It can save links with user names and passwords so I can just turn on the WiFi and make a quick connection.
A follow-up: I had the fortunate experience of having to hard reset my Sprint TP, and went through the process of installing the HTC Network cab listed above. Mapping a shared drive directly, without going through the browse feature failed.
However, it did work, when I browsed to the machine, selected the shared folder, and provided the correct login credentials (domain information not required - at least in my case, as all machines are in the default: Workgroup).

Hi! I have a problem regarding bluetooth transfer. I want to send files from Atrix to my laptop but it won't work even if it showed paired and connected to media. However, I can send files from my laptop to Atrix using bluetooth without a problem. Do i need to be rooted to do this?
No you shouldn't have to be rooted to transfer files via BT. Have you tried the Phone Portal app that came on the Atrix? Open the app and select "connect with wifi", in your computers browser enter the ip address shown on your phones screen. Thats it! You should now have access to the files on your Atrix via your web browser.
Thx.. somehow i fixed the bluetooth issue myself. and, using bluetooth to connect atrix to laptop is way faster than the phone portal one
Good you got it working! Its takes me about 20 seconds from opening the phone portal app to typing the ip in my browser, not bad. The advantage of phone portal over bt is the 'file explorer' - bt only allows transfers not exploring; with phone portal you can see the files/folders and thats a huge advantage to me.
I can also use bluetooth to explore my files on atrix also. Somehow opening the ip address is very slow for me
How do you do explorer over bt? Is it software on the computer or?
I downloaded the "bluetooth file transfer" from the market which enables FTP. Then i go to device manager and find my bluetooth card and enables the FTP in it. When I enabled tthe FTP, it will install a driver. Then go to control panel-> bluetooth devices-> MB860, press connect in the phone operations then "browse files on your phone" will show up. Then you just click it and then you can explore it.
Hi all,
A few variations of my question seemed to have been asked but I've not really found anything that has helped me.
I would like to clarify with any of you network guru's the correct setup between my PC and Prime for browsing network shares (or indeed just my entire PC if poss).
Currently my Win 7 PC sharing settings are as follows:
Network Discovery: On
File and Printer Sharing: On
Public Folder Sharing: Off
Media Streaming: Off
File Sharing Connections: 128 bit
Password Protected Sharing: On
I have a number of shares already setup from when I was using my Home group (which is now disabled as I use a separate app for managing media across the home network). I've tried variations of the above settings with no luck (e.g. Media sharing on, password protected sharing off etc).
I've fiddled with the permissions on some of the folders so that either 'Everyone' or my Windows user account has Full control however the Prime refuses to see these shares. It detects the PC (I've tried ES File Explorer and File Expert, which in the past have worked with other Samba shares which puzzles me even more) but refuses a connection as either Anonymous or with my Windows credentials entered in both apps. Other network apps connect fine (Splashtop HD, Plex, SABnzbd+ etc).
Help? I'm pulling my hair out at this stage as I just don't see why this is so hard... As mentioned, my Prime has worked with other SMB shares (I used to have a NAS for example), File Expert even worked briefly when I had the homegroup enabled but I don't want that running anymore as I want greater control over my network shares (realistically, the only person I want viewing/editing files/folders on my PC is me and likely only from my Prime).
Sigh...
Just as the title states, is there/whats the preferred app for mapping a network drive location via VPN in webOS so that I can access those files? I would like to setup the tablet to be able to access my work VPN and network folders remotely, the VPN right off the settings menu seems to connect fine and it says I am secure, but I have no way of actually browsing the VPN itself.
No one has the answer? I would like to know too
AT&T Galaxy Note II
I cant connect nor find my samba network drive from Android whatsover... I have tried using different apps (ES File Explorer, AndroXplorer and AndSMB), but none of them are able to connect nor to find my shared folders....
On the android client side, I am using anonymous login and I have tried using both the ip address of the samba server in the hostname field and the hostname itself. I also tried with the domain set or empty. I have a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2.1
On the server side, I have the following configuration ( add V0BRW3vK to pastebin address -> sorry I cant post links) and I can access it through windows, ubuntu and even through my playstation =D But not with my android device... Therefore, I dont think it is a server issue (unless if Android connects in a different way).
It is also perhaps worth mentioning that my samba server has a static IP and it is not on the DHCP list of the router. However, Im not sure if this should influence something as I'm even trying to access it directly through its IP.
Is there something I need to do in the android device beforehand in order to connect to the network drive? Any hints of what could be going wrong? Most of the issues, I read about it seem to handled in my config and have been discarded due to the fact that I can connect to the shared folder with other devices. The only other thing that comes to my mind now is to either find an open source application that connects to a samba shared folder and run it with logging (and get more info about it), or to develop one =S
Use this tutorial, worked for me:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/ta...roid-to-windows-and-samba-shared-directories/
I've done it without success.
The phone does not see the networked pc (fig C of the tutorial) and even after filling the details (fig D), I cant see the shared folder.
problem with port
it was actually something related to the ports. I had some conflicting rules on my firewall which I think it was allowing just TCP and on ipv4 local ips on the 445 port, and denying the rest. After I got a cleaner port filtering configuration it worked.
