Aaarrghh!

Nice idea Pedro.  I d/loaded TS client, did as you say & end up with
a bunch of cab files in a directory under ActiveX.
Okay, so I browse to there from the ePods, double click
and....nothing.
In the windows directory on ePods is WCELoad.exe which, when run,
just tells me to double-click on a .cab to install it.
It doesn't work, moaning that it can't execute or open the file
so.... I think hmm - maybe the .cab extension needs to be associated
with wceload.exe?

So I set up a file type and....Aaaaarggh!  (which is where I started
this email!)  Now I browse to my C drive on my PC and I can only see
two files.  that's it.  no directories, no nothing.  Yet they _Are_
there.
Quick test on the ePods - I can browse to most directories - except
the Windows directory!  Try browsing there & I get nothing - the
screen doesn't even update :-(

I soft reset a few times - no joy
I delete the file associateon - no joy.

EPods seems shagged:-(  Heeellllppppp!
