Oh... and usually you can connect to a device using the host id, netbios name... whatever you want to call it.

Well, I couldn't resist giving it one more try. It doesn't work using the computer's network name, but it does work using the numerical IP address. As others said, though, the view seen by Freda is currently not useful, though I'm sure Jim will fix that. Still, in all, though it seems it might be useful in some circumstances, really it's easier just to copy the books to the SD card. Probably it's a more useful feature for phones than for my PDA.

I mostly leave the wireless turned off on the Axim. Don't have much need, and it sucks down the battery like crazy.
