The name resolution is absolutely necessary in order to access enabled resources (drives, directories,
printers) of a computer with the Windows operating system. Access via IP addresses is not supported
by Windows CE.
The name resolution under Windows CE is executed via the NetBios name (UDP, Port 137) service.
The following must be observed on the computer:
• The options «File and Printer Sharing» and «Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)» in the network
settings must be activated.
• If a domain controller is not used: The option «Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP» must be
selected. This setting is carried out in the Network Settings «Internet Protocol TCP/IP –
Properties – Advanced – WINS»: Network Settings – Internet Protocol TCP/IP – Properties –
Advanced – WINS: Option «Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP»)

Management – Services and Applications – Services. The «Computer browser» setting must
be activated.
