Windows 7 Setup Windows 7 so X51v wireless PDA can share files?

[spamme0]

I have two computers wired thru a Westell327W wireless router/dsl modem.
I have all the hard drives shared and life is good.
Computer 1 is XPsp3, computer 2 is windows 7 ultimate.

My Axim X51v Rom12 WinCE5.0 can see and read/write files to the XP system.
Also works when talking to a vista system.
The Axim can surf the web.
The axim can ping the win7 machine successfully.
I'm using totalcommander on the axim.
When I point the totalcommander server setting to the win7 machine, the window
that normally shows the drives is blank.

If I run tightVNC server on the win7 machine...
I run tightVNC viewer on the axim.
if I point VNCviewer at the IP address of the win7 machine, it works
with the win7 firewall ON.

I just can't see any drives or files on the win7 machine from the pda.

I've messed with the windows7 firewall and even turned it off.
Still nothing. If I put the xp drive back into computer 2,
I can see its files on the axim.

Probably some security setting in the win7 machine, but I can't find it.

Help!!!

Thanks, mike

It seems like you are encountering issues accessing files on your Windows 7 Ultimate machine from your Axim X51v running WinCE 5.0, despite successfully pinging the Win7 machine and using Total Commander and TightVNC. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue: 1. Network Discovery and File Sharing: - Ensure that Network Discovery and File Sharing are enabled on the Windows 7 machine. You can check this in the Network and Sharing Center. - Make sure the network location is set to "Home" or "Work" for easier file sharing. 2. Permissions: - Check the shared folders on the Windows 7 machine and verify that the appropriate permissions are set to allow access to the Axim X51v. - Make sure that the user account you are using on the Axim has the necessary permissions to access the shared folders. 3. Firewall Settings: - Even when the Windows Firewall is disabled, security software or third-party firewalls can still block access. Double-check any other security software on the Win7 machine. - Add exceptions or rules to allow Total Commander or direct file sharing access through the firewall. 4. Network Credentials: - Try accessing the Win7 shared folders from the Axim X51v using explicit credentials (username and password) of an account that has access to the shared resources on Windows 7. 5. Workgroup or Homegroup: - Ensure that both computers are in the same workgroup or homegroup, which facilitates easier sharing of resources. 6. Advanced Sharing Settings: - Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings. Check that Network Discovery, File and Printer Sharing, and Public Folder sharing are enabled. 7. IP Configuration: - Confirm that both devices are on the same subnet. If the IP configuration is manual, ensure that the IP addresses are set correctly. 8. Router Settings: - Check your router settings to see if there are any specific configurations that might be blocking access from the Axim X51v to the Windows 7 machine. By checking these settings and making adjustments as needed, you should be able to troubleshoot the connectivity issue between your Axim X51v and the Windows 7 Ultimate computer for file sharing.
