2.1.1 NAME RESOLUTION IN WINDOWS NETWORKS
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»)
The following settings must be set in the local security policy. These settings are located at Æ
Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Local Security Policy – Local Policies – Security

The relevant rules for user name and password must be observed. When using a domain
controller, consult your network administrator. On desktop PCs, these rules are found under
Æ Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Local Security Policy – Account Policies –
Password Policy.
In a network without a domain controller, the service «Computer Browser» must be started to
support correct name resolution. See Æ Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Computer
Management – Services and Applications – Services. The «Computer browser» setting must
be activated.
When using several network cards, the used network card must be installed at the first
