This package deserves more than 5 stars. Revised from previous, MP3 tracks now playing from my LAN PC, cool. Thks for great support.

Wow, great application. Pretty straight forward set up. Using an XDA 2 on O2 in the UK, Windows Mobile 2003, with Sandisk SDIO WiFi. No problems connecting to my home network, can view, and transfer files, even create folders and move files onto my PC from my PDA. The only thing I have not been able to do, which is the only negative for me is being able to play MP3 tracks from the LAN. They show in File Explorer ok, and I can copy and paste etc. but they wont play ? Still great product none the less.

5 Stars here !!! This is a great little app. No problems what so ever on my Dell Axim w/ Dell CF Wireless 802.11 Card. We need more great apps like this one for Pocket PC.

"Couldn't live without it. Use it to pull files off a Windows 2003 server. Works great."

PocketLan a must have for all network techs

"I purchased PocketLan to trouble shoot my network, it was prefect tool to help me trouble shoot network and mapping issues, also it helps me with router issues, a MUST HAVE for all POcket PPC that want to browse the network!"

Does exactly what it promises to do.

"I had a simple idea - to use a Pocket PC as a media player, with the files kept on a desktop PC acting as a server. Sounds easy enough? Well, it isn't. Firstly, there was the grief of configuring my new iPAQ 4150 to access my Wireless LAN. That particular Everest was conquered. I could see the shared files via File Explorer by manually entering the path to the server and the files. Sadly, Windows Media Player stubbornly was not interested in finding media files anywhere but on the Pocket PC. I tried many, many solutions; alternative media players on the Pocket PC, streaming audio from the server, File Explorer replacements. All attempts were unsuccessful...until I found PocketLAN.
It adds Network functionality to the Pocket PC that really should be built into the operating system, but isn't. Installation was essentially straightforward, albeit quite tricky compared to other Pocket PC programmes. Nonetheless, the instructions are clear and accurate as to the steps required. I had one glitch during installation - after the required soft reset of my Pocket PC, I lost network connectivity until I realized that the wireless LAN had turned itself off when I reset the device.

In use, the program is truly excellent. It does exactly what it promises to do - makes network shared files available to the Pocket PC - and it does it well and efficiently. I'm over the moon with this application and highly recommend it as THE solution for anyone that wants to access files on a server rather than having to copy them to their Pocket PC every time they want to use them. I'm using it at present to access a large media library on my server and also to access digital photos - the iPAQ makes a great digital audio player and a great picture viewer. The enhanced functionality of simple and straightforward network access is truly a pleasure."
