Pocket PC Networking >> how to ping from Pocket PC 2003

by bWNydXo » Tue, 17 May 2005 01:03:33 GMT

hi, I have an ipaq 5550, with Pocket PC 2003. I have started the WLAN card
and it shows connected to my access point. How do i find out the IP assigned
to my iPAQ from (1) the CE GUI (2) programmatically (C# perferred).

I have tried (from the CE GUI), Start, Settings, Connections ... various
screens under this. but nothing seems to show the IP of the ipaq.

Also how can i ping? Is there a "console" for the Pocket PC where I can
just type "ping <ip>"?
thanks

Hi Maria Cruz,

Make sure that you have the WiFi Started, GPRS Stopped (if available in your
PPC), Remove it from the Cradle and do the following.

Start -> Settings -> System -> Self Test -> Deselect all options except
Wi-Fi, Click Start

You will be taken to a Page where all information regarding your Network
will be Displayed and also you will get the provision to Ping an IP address

Hope this helps you

8. Pocket PC 2003 does not save password when connecting to samba share

When using the file explorer under Pocket PC 2003 (Windows Mobile) to
connect to a Samba file share, if the "Save Password" box is checked,
the device DOES NOT save the password.  After authenticating
correctly, if the device is soft-reset, or simply turned off and on,
and an attempt is made to re-connect to the same share, it prompts for
the password again.  This was not the behavior with PDA's running
Pocket PC 2002 software.  Under Pocket PC 2002, when the "Save
Password" box was checked, the password was indeed saved.  The PPC
2003 device has no problem when connecting to a share under Windows
2000. It does save the password for W2K shares.

After turning on logging in Samba, the only difference I could see
between the Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2003 connect dialog, was that
when the PPC 2002 machine was supplying the "name2" parameter, it was
set to the Device ID of the device (changeable under the setting for
the device).  When Pocket PC 2003 tries to authenticate, the dialog
show that "name2" is being set to:
_CERDRXXXXXXXX where X=Hex Digit.  For Example: _CERDR859D5730
I also see the "remote" parameter is being set to the same thing but
in all lowercase.  I don't know if it's the leading underscore that
has something to do with this or not, but if the correct password is
put in, it DOES authenticate the share, it just doesn't save it like
it did on Pocket PC 2002.
I don't know where this _CERDR859D5730 is coming from since the device
name is set to something else.  Also, if the device is soft-reset it
contructs a different _CERDRXXXXXXXX string to send.

Any help is appreciated with this problem.  I do not know enough about
SMB or Samba to solve it.  Thanks
