How do I add a network HD to the N800? Is it possible? Might be a stupid question since I don`t even have a N800 yet to test this on so it might be a very simple task. but just to check before I get it.
I have a Mybook that I have with fixed ip. Could I just map it or something?

With the current OS (OS2007) it's possible to mount SMB/CIFS shares (a.k.a. Windows or Samba shares), although it requires that you load a kernel module and isn't really "integrated" into the system. However, with the new OS coming this month (OS2008), SMB/CIFS share support is built-in.

I have recently got my N800 and I have installed OS2008 on it. Its working fine. I was trying to access my Laptop (windows XP Media center edition) shared files from N800, to do so I have opened File manager and found few other network machines/folder but not mine laptop. I have turned off my Norton Internet Security Firewall (windows firewall is already tured off by default, since its using Norton firewall), then tried it again but could not see my sahred files/folder from laptop. However I can see the same shared folders from other Laptop/Machine (windows XP) and even from my Archos 604wifi.

My laptop is listed in "workgroup" (not in domain), I have full privilges on my user ID on laptop.

Could somebody help me to get the network shared files from my laptop on N800. I don't know why its not listing my sahred folders in "file manager".

I also wanted to reverse, I mean if I could access my N800 from my Laptop, is it possible? I appreciate your help.

Thanks.
Arun.
