 Windows Mobile access to Server 2003 UNC Shares
Network connectivity, UNC, UNC shares, Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile Device, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008
What do you need to do to browse UNC shares on a windows 2003/2008 server from a windows mobile device? I have verified network connectivity, can ping the server and I can browse shares of a Vista & XP Machines on the same network. The server systems (2003 & 2008) dont seem to allow it. I have also seen posts about disabling "Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)" and this doesn't seem to help. What is the trick?

Thanks for the answer. However, the article you cite is describing how to publish a folder as a secure web site and then access it from pocket internet explorer.

Unfortunately this is not what I’m trying to do. I want to access a shared folder from File Explorer on the pocket pc. While what is described here works it doesn’t allow uploads.
