Hi Dennis, While it is true that Microsoft do not allow the browsing of work groups in Windows CE 4.2, you can still access the files residing on the computers connected to your network. At the network server prompt, you need to type the exact network name of your PC instead of pressing space to bring up the domain prompt, used for logging on to a domain server.
If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact me.
