Windows Mobile File Explorer and network shares

I am having no luck whatsoever getting the file explorer to browse network shares.  I have tried \\<ip address>\share and \\<computer name>\share.  I keep getting "The network path was not found." followed by "Network resource cannot be found or you do not have permission to access the network."  I can however communicate with the computer network share is on by browsing web pages hosted by the same server.  I am 100% confident that there are no firewall issues on the server side that are preventing me from accessing the share.

Re: Windows Mobile File Explorer and network shares

Are you connecting though wifi or though the cell?

Re: Windows Mobile File Explorer and network shares

If the connection type is WiFi, tried setting the Connection to "Work" rather than "Internet"?

Re: Windows Mobile File Explorer and network shares

Thanks, I had already tried that after seeing it on other posts on other sites and sure enough that is the only way it will work.

Re: Windows Mobile File Explorer and network shares

Hi all.. I've the same problem, but only with shares on Win Server 2008 R2 Ent.

I can easly access to share on Win 7 or Win XP, from Win Mobile 6.0+6.5..

  • "the network path was not found"
  • "Network resource cannot be found or you do not have permission to access the network"

Any suggestion ?

Re: Windows Mobile File Explorer and network shares

@Danilode Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I'm having the exact same issue & the information in those shares is absolutely critical to our operations. I'm banging my head against the wall over here trying to get this thing fixed.

Re: Windows Mobile File Explorer and network shares

No way... I gave up.... I switched my app to FPT, with an FTP Mobile C# Client.. So: workaround the problem..

Re: Windows Mobile File Explorer and network shares

Danilode - I gave up too. I moved my shares out to my NAS.
