[Mogul, XV6800 General] qu1nn:
Hello,

Problem: Cannot get my pda (HTC Mogul) to connect to a samba share.

Behavior: Resco File Explorer (V7.03) keeps asking for a password when I try to map to a samba share.

Basic Setup Information:

ROUTER: Dynamic Type Configuration acting as a DHCP Server. The DNS is Automagic from the IP.

LAPTOP (windows xp): 192.168.1.38 / 255.255.255.0

SAMBA_PC (Suse 11) : 192.168.1.36 / 255.255.255.0

PDA (Sprint Mogul, Windows Mobile 6 Pro): 192.168.1.37 / 255.255.255.0

-----Below is my current smb.conf---------------

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented

# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the

# samba-doc package is installed.

-------------------------------------------

Additional Questions:

1) how do you find the machine name on the PDA similar to how the LINUX-PD = 192.168.1.36?

2) why is the wireless router name showing up when I ping?

I am at a loss.

I will be posting to a Resco forum as well.

Any suggestions helping this newb would be great.

Thank you for your time
