Q: How can I see my ADS WinCE device on a Microsoft network? Is there a Network Neighborhood feature I can use?

It's possible to write out to the file systems of other computers on your network by using the file name convention of "\\computer_name\folder\file_name.ext". However, those servers cannot do the same back to your device.

Windows CE 3.0 doesn't include functionality to show up on Windows networks. However, some third party products are available to do the job. One such product we've tried on our devices is VisualityNQ. Details can be found on their site at http://www.visualitynq.com .

If practical in your application, you might also consider using the the CE web server. This server is available in the larger ADS builds of Windows CE.

We also have CE 3.0 images that include the HTTP Web Server. If you look at the CE Image Download Pages you will see an item in the list of components called "HTTP Server". If checked, then that image contains the web server.

Dose the web server version allow a desk top pc
to display an icon of the ADS GM in it's network
neighborhood ?,and is there a way to move files
from the GM to the desk top without Active sync?
I am only moving ASCII files so convertion is not
a problem. I am using the ADS 3.2 build and already
have http but would like to stay away from active sync
if possible.

The web server simply gives you an HTTP web server, meaning the device can host HTML pages and ISAPI extensions. CE does not have the necessary infrastructure to allow it to be in a Network Neighborhood.

If you want to avoid ActiveSync one option is to write a socket application to transfer the data to the device via the network.

An ISAPI Extension would do this quite nicely.

You could have password protected web page list available files as links, and links could point to ISAPI Extension.
