View Full Version : Connect from PC to PPC over wi-fi

Hello,

I'd like to be able to connect from my PC to my PPC using wi-fi, nit USB/ActiveSync. This is part of an effort to establish connection between all networked computers - one PC and two PPC, including the possibility to connect from one PPC to the other. I am not sure how much of this is possible, and will appreciate advice.

Currently I have:
DHCP enabled wi-fi router and assigned static IPs to both PPCs, e.g. 192.168.2.100. I try to access this via FileZilla by typing the IP or the host name (WM_Cheeseus). I never get beyond:
"Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Could not connect to server".

I can ping the device, but I cannot see it from Windows Explorer's Network Places (only see other PCs, not the PPCs).

From the device, I can ping the PC (192.168.2.102) but I get "request timed out" when trying to ping the second device, 192.168.2.109.

I think I am looking for the WM version of "sharing" my PPC's folders on the network.

So, what settings should I be looking for? Thanks!

don't think ppc support smb server role
you can put a ftp on it and do it that way

Um... what do you mean by "put a ftp on it"? Will Total Commander's FTP/LAN plugins do or do I need something else? I have tried to connect to the other PPC via TCMD's LAN plugin but I can't.

Thank you!

Mocha FTP did the job - as far as connecting to the PPC from the PC. Unfortunately, it is still not possible to connect between the two PPCs by starting Mocha FTP on one and typing its IP into the other one's browser.
