I tried successfully once, then I upgrade TC and the plugin.
But after that, I failed the access , who can tell my why?

Thanks very much.

This is unfortunately a problem with the used JCIFS library - it cannot always find computers by name. The problem seems to occur when there is only one PC on that router, and it's idle for a while. Then it seems that Windows doesn't send out name announcements any more.

thanks ghisler, can this be fixed in TC for android 1.0? 2.0?

Sorry, I have no idea how this could be fixed. I can only hope that the people maintaining the JCIFS library will fix it one day. I'm using the IP address myself here to avoid the problem...
