I'm trying to connect my iPaq 3650 (running PocketPC 2002) to a network share via a D-Link DCF-650W Wireless Adapter and a D-Link DWL-1000AP Access Point. I keep getting the error message "Pocket PC Networking: A device with the same name is already on the network. Tap Start About click OK on that dialog I get the following error message "File Explorer: Network resources cannot be found or you do not have permission to access the network. Contact your network administrator."
This is the only device on the network with the name POCKET_PC. Could the underscore be creating a problem? I get the same results on every network share available. I've also tried creating a new shares with full control for everyone to no avail. I can access the Internet just fine through this same configuration. I'm using DHCP from the same Windows 2000 server to assign the PocketPC an IP. Any ideas?
I tried to set WINS to my broadcast address (in my case 192.168.1.255), but it didn't help. My wireless network is setup with WEP 128 and a specific key that I set up on each device, so it's probably something else.

For what it's worth, I have exactly the same problem here. Same hardware (ipaq, D-Link DCF 650W), same symptoms. The network connection is up (IE works fine), but I can't open shares (same error message). Also, I can't possibly out how to ActiveSync through the network... My network config uses a fixed IP, it it matters...

Chris,
Thanks for the reply. I have entered the IP address of my desktop machine in the Primary WINS and I can sync perfectly. I also tried setting up a network share on the desktop machine vs. the server and I can't access that share either. My desktop machine is Windows 2000 Pro and the Server is Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I get the same message pertaining to the device name already existing on the network. Any other thoughts?

I still haven't had any luck with the network shares either. I haven't had the opportunity to try the suggestion from JeffMc though.
Do you have your wireless connection setup as secure or insecure. Mine is currently set as insecure and I was wondering if that could have something to do with it.
Let me know if you get it going.
Thanks in advance.
