Cause we tried command "ping <ip adress>" wich was Ok but "ping SPS" did not
work.
DNS is configured but has ip-adress 10.31.xxx.xxx while the ip-adress of the
panel is 172.22.xxx.xxx. Can this be the problem?
Can it be solved with making a hosts file like in XP?

I think, after stepping back to Saturn, admiring the rings for a while, then
returning to Earth, I may have figured out what's going on here. You're
trying to get at
\\<someIP>\SPS?
right? In that case, the SPS is *NOT* the device name, it's the share name,
the name of the *thing*, whatever it is, folder, printer, whatever, on teh
*device* <someIP>, that you're trying to get to. For example, when you
share a folder on your desktop PC so that someone else can access it,
C:\documents and settings\paul-t\shareme, for example, you might call that
share "shareme" and access it over the network via:
\\172.16.12.1\shareme
because the IP address of my PC is 172.16.12.1. However, my PC can also be
accessed via its name, FARSIDE, ("Here we sit without opposable thumbs!"),
via:
\\FARSIDE\shareme
This is what *I'm* trying to get at, Windows CE will not access the share
shareme via \\172.16.12.1\shareme, but it WILL access it via
\\FARSIDE\shareme, because it *understands* the name, but not the IP
address. However, that's not what you were trying to tell me.
I think that *you're* saying that you're trying to get Windows CE to use a
share that is in a location that can only be accessed via a *routable*
protocol. That is, the server is not in your subnet. Well, Windows CE is
only using NetBEUI, *NOT* a routable protocol, so, no you can't, without
doing it yourself, get to a server for file shareing located beyond the
local subnet.
Now I feel better (although you probably don't). You could do what I
describe, have a local PC on the device's subnet, that it *can* access and
have that PC act, in effect, as a gateway to remote resources. Other than
via a TCP-based protocol, however, FTP, HTTP, etc., I don't think you can
share remote file server data; the protocols and support just aren't there
in CE.

I faced the same problem after around two years, and your response provided me the quick solution. I was trying <IP Address> instead of the <host-name> all the time.
Thanks,
