Hi, Thanks for that - all very useful but here's my problem, perhaps I didn't explain it clearly enough.
While connected to my LAN via wireless connection, I went to File Manager and selected Directory. I browsed to Network and selected to browse the entire network. I was prompted for a user name and password for my XP desktop machine, which I supplied and could happily browse down to the Shared Documents folder on my XP desktop machine. I was also asked by PK to provide a name in computer braille, which I entered test, since that was what I was doing! Now, every time I browse the entire network, I get asked to enter a network place, PK is offering me a network place called test, and I wish to remove it! Where is it stored and how can I get rid of it please? I'm not too familiar with Win CE so any tip would be most helpful and you clearly know the system quite well! Cheers. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sabahattin Gucukoglu Sent: 08 November 2004 03:06 To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Network Resource Problem in PK Hi Paul, It sounds to me like your PC has changed IP address since you first connected to it on your network. You can either search the network again by sending out a network broadcast for the machine's response with a new IP address and keep doing this habitually, or else fix the PC's IP address so that future establishments with an existing IP address will not result in connection errors on your PK. How you fix your PC's IP address depends on your general proficiency with networks, but normally your router has the ability to set aside a specific IP address for a given MAC address so that the DHCP service on your router (if it exists) makes the same offer each time that client connects, and you should therefore pick an IP in your subnet's range and/or within or outside of your DHCP's IP pool and affix it to your PC for good via its MAC. This also helps the BrailleNote when you use ActiveSync, since the BrailleNote depends upon WINS for NetBIOS name resolution and this must always be available on the host you are connecting to if a WINS server does not exist elsewhere on your LAN.
