Hi everyone,

How can i mount either Samba or NFS network drive into Windows CE/
Mobile?
I have set up Samba server on linux and i managed to map the drive
into Windows XP.
Thus, i would like to map a Samba drive into either Windows CE 4.2 or
Windows Mobile 5. Is it possible?

Thank you in advance.

I don't know anything about the protocol used to communicate with the Samba
server, but I'd guess that the answer is no for most network file systems
(there's definitely no classic NFS client in Windows CE). Windows CE can be
built with support for use as a CIFS/SMB client (and it can be built without
that support, so there's no answer that will be right for all Windows CE
generic devices). You'd use the WNetXXX calls to do the mapping, see
WNetAddConnection3() in the help for your device's SDK. That should tell
you if it's supported on your device.

Hi,

I have setup Samba server on Linux machine(Redhat) and i have no
problem to mount samba drive on my windows XP machine with username
and password created in Samba server .

However, with the same username and password my PDA (WM5 & CE4.2) not
managed to access the samba drive.
I believe the PDA have successfully connected to Samba server but fail
during Authentication stage.
May i know is there any explicit setting that need to be applied in
PDA and should i enable password encryption in samba server. I have
tried to disable it but didn't workout .

Thanks in advance

So what? The protocols provided for use in a given operating system are not
the same. Windows CE != Windows XP. As I said before, "I don't know
anything about the protocol used to communicate with the Samba server". You
can call/email Microsoft support and ask them or maybe ask on the Windows CE
Networking team blog, http://blogs.msdn.com/cenet/.

Samba=SMB, at least they should be compatible. If not an analyzer like
Wireshark can be helpful.
