Re: Sharing folders in Windows CE 5.0

Hi Axexander,

Athough I can ping the device. When I try over and over again to map
\\AXYZCEDEVICE\Windows or any of the other shares using Map Network Drive
under the tools menu in Windows explorer on XP. I get the following error:
The network path \\axyzcedevice\Windows cannot be found.

Out of curiosity, when the first access denied message comes back on the XP
side, if you try to access the share again, are you able to get access?
Perhaps you are experiencing an access denied error, but in fact this isn't
the case and subsequent access requests succeed?

Hi Alexander,

It is still necessary to use RemoteAdmin to share the \Windows directory
since its permissions come up in the deny state. I appreciate your help
and
look forward to another suggestion.

Hi Alexander,

I checked that my common.reg file does not have that line in the same
directory where nk.bin is being built. Do have any other suggestions?

I think that there are a few more things we can try here:

First you do not need the Remote Registry Editor or the RemoteAdmin
tool
to
configure the SMB Server. All you need are to add the registry
settings
I
outlined into your project.reg file. Each time you boot the device
these
settings will be used to initialize the SMB Server. IF you do change
the
registry settings when the device is running then you need to restart
the
SMB Server.

If you open a build window from Platform Builder and go to the
%_FLATRELEASEDIR%. Make sure that your common.reg file doesn't have a
UseAuthentication=dword:1 line in it. It shouldn't but I just want us
to
be
sure.

Also, what platforms are you connecting here. CE client to CE server,
XP
client to CE server? I can see that you are trying to share out your
hard

Hi Alexander,

I followed the instructions at the following link:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa450272.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa451153.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms899610.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms899601.aspx

The following is my Project.reg file. It is still necessary for me
to
use
RemoteAdmin to unlock permissions on the shared drive. I do plan to
follow
the instructions that you gave. But I do doubt this method because
you
say
to change the registry with the Remote registry Editor. I don't
think
I
have
a registry which remains after a Power Cycle. Does this double have
any
merit? Do I need a Registry that remains after a Power Cycle to make
this
work?

You do not need the RemoteAdmin tool to share folders over
ethernet.
Please
help me to understand the precise steps you are using to recreate
your
problem.

I have posted the steps that I have used to share a folder and
disable
authentication on it, here:

Hi Alexander,

I have now recreated the problem in Windows CE 6.0. How do I fix
it?

Hi Don,

I have verified some things with respect to UseAuthentication=0

5.0.
Unfortunately this does not work and it is known broken in CE
5.0.
We
did
make the fix for CE 6.0. There are no updates for this issue in
CE
5.0.

What errors are you seeing from the Remote Admin component?

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your help.
I went through the process of creating the file server and
still
I
believe
the registry key

[KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares]
"UseAuthentication"=dword:0

Is not working.

I then went back to the documentation concerning this as a
known
issue
that
has been resolved.
Apparently the issues has been solved in the april update for
Platform
Builder. Since in this documentation it suggests that the
update
will
not
work unless all previous Platform Builder updates have been
installed.
This
got me thinking that I have been making a mistake by not
installing
all
the
updates for Platform Builder 5.0. The other thing is I had
all
ready
installed the april update before reading it carfully. I am
not
sure
if
you
can install updates out of order? So intalled the updates
that
come
as
one
file for 2005. Then I installed the updates from 2006. I
