Does anyone know if its possible to configure my pocket pc for file sharing (with windows or Mac Pc's) over a wireless LAN & vice versa?

Do I HAVE to use a 3rd party software? If so is there a free solution for WM5? I'm hoping I don't have to.

Would appreciate any help I can get.

Cheers

If you are connecting via wireless LAN, then you can access your PC's folder shares from a Pocket PC. You will need to run something like Resco Explorer to be able map the network shares. You can't access Pocket PC files on your PC over LAN though, because the Pocket PC does not support the server part.
