[Samba] problems accessing samba server from Pocket PC with Windows Mobil e 2003
Hi all, when accessing a samba server version 2.2.8a from a Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 2003 you can give a password and tell the Pocket PC to remember it. But, if you switch off the device or remove the LAN-card the stored password is lost (or send in a different way as Pocket PC 2002). Maybe the procedure of sending the stored password has been changed, because Pocket PC 2002 works fine with samba, and accessing a W2K works also fine with Windows Mobile 2003... So, I tried accessing a samba server version 3.0.0 from a Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 2003, but I always got the error message: "Cannot find file '\\' (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." I tried to connect to '\\hostname' or '\\hostname\path' but it is alway replaced with '\\'. When I tried '//hostname' or '//hostname/path' the same error message appears with '//hostname' or '//hostname/path' instead of '\\'. With Pocket PC 2002 or W2K a connection to samba server version 3.0.0 is established without any problems. Any ideas how to manage this? Torsten

Hi Torsten, Sorry I am able to offer a solution to your problem here. Instead, myself has encountered the same problem since switching to samba 3 and is hoping to hear from you if you have got any progress since then. Thanks alot, Looking forward to hearing from you.
