I have a Motorola Q (original) with the latest patch firmware. I am able to
connect to my work over a VPN connection I setup and sync with my Exchange
2003 server fine an connect to one or two other computers, but I can't seem
to get to the rest of them by computer name.

When I open IE and change the connection to Work I can get to the computers
by IP address, but naturally this can be a pain to remember. Most of the
things I need to get to have static IPs so it is not all that big a deal to
maintain a HOSTS file, but I am not sure where to put it on WM5.

I'm not aware of a Hosts file, but you could use "Favorites" to store
the addresses "Menu > Add to Favourites" to save, or "Menu >
Favourites" to recall.

Used to be third party solutions to this. One is at
http://www.handango.com/PlatformProd...roductId=54305
Worked quite well. Don't know of any that specifically indicate they work
with current versions of the OS, but I didn't look at all the hits for a
'PocketPC hosts file' web search.
