I have two computers wired thru a Westell327W wireless router/dsl modem. I have all the hard drives shared and life is good. Computer 1 is XPsp3, computer 2 is windows 7 ultimate. My Axim X51v Rom12 WinCE5.0 wireless can see and read/write files to the XP system. Also works when talking to a vista system. The Axim can surf the web. The axim can ping the win7 machine successfully. I'm using totalcommander on the axim. When I point the totalcommander server setting to the win7 machine, the window that normally shows the drives is blank. If I run tightVNC server on the win7 machine... I run tightVNC viewer on the axim. if I point VNCviewer at the IP address of the win7 machine, it works with the win7 firewall ON. I just can't see any drives or files on the win7 machine from the pda. I've messed with the windows7 firewall and even turned it off. Still nothing. If I put the xp drive back into computer 2, I can see its files on the axim. Probably some security setting in the win7 machine, but I can't find it. Help!!! Thanks, mike

Hi, Firstly, please ensure that Windows 7 and this PDA can ping each other. Please try the following in Windows 7: 1. Open Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\ 2. Create LMCompatibilityLevel (DWord) and set the value to 1 For more information, please also refer to: LmCompatibilityLevel Hope this helps. Thanks. Nicholas Li - MSFT

Thanks, that works. In the general case, how does one find out about these little gems of wisdom? I've googled myself silly with no result. I've posted this is half a dozen forums with no result until now. Also discovered in a linux thread that you can share a directory below the root level and see it on the PDA, once you figger out the format of the command to use on the PDA. Thanks, again, mike
