Point 1 - They can't see *each other* - while the PDA should be

to browse shared folders on the PC, the PC cannot see the PDA.
That's
by design.

I'm not too sure you're totally right on that : If you have
ActiveSync
3.8 (rather than one of the crippled version 4 AS) then once you're
synced over wifi to the PC, you can browse the file structure on the
PDA from the Mobile Device folder in windows explorer.

Very fair point indeed as far as the machine that you're syncing to is
concerned, good clarification. I meant visibility as far is it being a
Microsoft Network client, which it won't be visible as. But of course
where you have the option of making an ActiveSync 3.x connection,
you've indeed got the Mobile Device folder. Visible only on the
machine running ActiveSync of course, not the rest of the network, but
if there's only one PC on the network, I guess that's not an issue ;).
