As with so many of you, I just can't this app to work consistently. I set up shares on my W2k3 server and Vista Home workstation, and was able to connect to them just fine. However, I've spent the past 2 days trying to connect to shares on my XP SP3 computer. 90% of the time I get the "cannot find the server" error. A couple times I've managed to get it to connect to my computer, but not specifically to a share - but then when I try to browse that connection I get the incorrect username/password error. That's only happened a couple times, though - mostly it can't find the server, even though I can ping the IP address from the phone, and I can connect to the share from other PCs.
Does anybody have any idea how to get the product to work? Alternately, is there another app out there that actually does work? I would really love to be able to access network shares via the phone - not just on my network but potentially client networks as well.
UPDATE: Well, you're not gonna believe this. I went into the share on my XP box and gave full permissions to the Domain Admins group. Went back into my ES connection for that share and changed the username and password to my Domain Admin account - touchdown. Is it possible that trying to access the share using the name and password of the user currently logged onto that computer could somehow make the process fail? That doesn't really make sense, and it doesn't seem to work that way on my server - I accessed another share using the domain admin username and password (how I'm currently logged in to the server) and didn't have any problems. Again, this doesn't really make sense, but I'll keep testing and see if anything changes.
In the meantime, my questions above still stand - particularly about another app that might be more stable.
