the validity of your RS-232 connection by typing the host name of
your host PC in the Address Bar of your Windows CE Explorer.

successful, you will see the network shares that are available from
the host PC.
4.4 Simple Networking via a Hub
If you want to connect your TPC-650 and the host PC only through
RJ-45 ports, you must use twisted-pair cables to connect both to a
central hub. Note that this network configuration is essentially the
same as Ethernet, despite a configuration of merely two end nodes.
After you have established a proper connection, you can verify the
network communication by following the procedure described above.
