[Q] Accessing Home Network - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

While connected to my home network via the wireless router, is there anyway to access files on my drobo drive that is connected to the router via Ethernet cable? I know I can remote into my laptop and do it that way, but I want a better solution then that.

Try ES File Explorer - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
In the LAN Tab add server and scan, or enter ip address Your drobo drive.
You can copy files and even stream movies.

Tried it, but it didnt work. It saw the ip address just fine, but when i tried to access the drive it tried to load the file list and failed.Do i need some smb client on my prime?

No, es explorer has a build in smb client. I don't know why it not working. Looks like a some sort of incompatible... With mac and win es work great.
Try the other clients, for example, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ghostsq.commander + https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ghostsq.commander.samba

Browsing desktop web server from xda

Hi all,
I know we can connect to the internet using desktop connectivity with ActiveSync.
Now, I want to develop some simple WAP application and place it in my http://localhost (desktop IIS) for testing purpose. How can I browse it this site from my xda?
Anyone can help? TIA.
try http://<ip-number of Desktop PC>
It doesn't work at all. Beside, I use dial-up connection in my desktop, so the desktop doesn't have any ip before connecting to the internet, and I want to develop the application offline.
I tried to assign permanent ip address to my desktop in without connecting and it still doesn't work.
internal network
I doubt you have networked computers but here goes...
If you have a network card in your PC for networking. Then you have an IP address with this. normally "192.168.???.???" so you could use that.
Hope this may be of help ..
or http://127.0.0.1
You will need to be connected to the internet on your PC before you try to browse, or you will need to configure internet connection sharing while your xda is cradled for it to work.
Though I can't test this (no webserver running), it's gotta work:
Put your XDA in the cradle, and the go in VXutil and go to info. There, under the adapter called "Serial on USB," you should see some IP config info. The "Default Gateway" should be the IP of your machine (as your XDA sees it).
Just for kicks, mine turns out to be 192.168.55.100
I've tries http://127.0.0.1 but since my desktop computer is not network and I don't have any ethernet card installed, I cannot assign IP address to this machine?
What is Vxutil anyway?
Thanks.

Add my Titan to home network via Wifi?

Is there a way to add my TItan to my home network via Wifi (not 3g) so I can access shared files on my PC? And vice-versa?
Turn on wifi and connect to your home network...
Not sure if there is software that supports Windows' file sharing though. You might have to use something like FTP instead.
The titan has built in wi-fi... you can connect it to your network that way.
If you wish to access files on your PC, you'll need an application capable of doing that. I dont think the built in file explorer does it. I use resco file explorer. There is an option to map network drives. I find that once you enable wi-fi and try to connect to your PC it takes 60 seconds, and is pretty fast after that.
I know you can also use activesync to connect to your device over the wireless. this should get you the functionality fo connecting to your device from the PC.
Edit::
I had to use pocket hosts to make my device talk to my PC.. and it was tricky to setup. This was another device with Windows mobile 2003 on it though... havent tried with WM6.1.. Maybe it got easier.
Install the attached cab file. Add any shared folders from your home computers onto your Titan. Add network shared folders from Start | Settings | Connections | Network Plugin.
This will let you access your network files on your phone. Not sure about the other way around. You can try \\your.wifi.phone.ip\program files\ to see if you access your phone's folders through your home computers.
Not at home right now, so can't test the home computer to phone mapping - let me know if this does work for you.

I keep getting a "Map Drive failed" error.
Here's my settings:
Remote Path: \\ASUS-F3JM\Public
Local Name: Public
When I click "Map Drive" I get the error. Any ideas?
I was thinking it had to do with Domain/Workgroup settings on the phone. How do you specify those? However, when in the settings of HTC Network Plugin, I can browse to Network Neighborhood--> ASUS-F3JM, but there's no folders showing up under my computer. I already checked and made sure sharing is on on the laptop (it shares just fine with the other pc's on the network).
ps - i'm using Vista Business 64bit on the laptop
Some more history - this used to work pretty well under WinMo6.0, but was causing the below error on occasion in 6.1, and also on the TouchPro. I always have a FTP server (http://filezilla-project.org/) running on all my machines at home, and end up using a browser (opera mini) to connect to my home drives via the ftp method. Works well if you are downloading off the home machines.
I haven't found a decent ftp client for winmo that allows true add/delete files across both connecting systems.

Yeah, I have the latest version of dcd's ROM, obviously using WinMo6.1, so maybe I'll have to try the ftp thing when I get a free minute.
As far as I know Resco File Explorer will allow you to browse FTPs as if they are local files and Mocha FTP is freeeware now (it is an FTP server for Windows Mobile) so you can use that to copy files to you phone from other computers.

I use Resco File Explorer to access Shares on my Home PC's via my WiFi Lan. It works very well. It can save links with user names and passwords so I can just turn on the WiFi and make a quick connection.
A follow-up: I had the fortunate experience of having to hard reset my Sprint TP, and went through the process of installing the HTC Network cab listed above. Mapping a shared drive directly, without going through the browse feature failed.
However, it did work, when I browsed to the machine, selected the shared folder, and provided the correct login credentials (domain information not required - at least in my case, as all machines are in the default: Workgroup).

[Q] How to explore laptop with es file manager via wifi

I am new to android world.Plz help me with this problem. I am using connectify to make my laptop as a wifi hotspot. And using my laptop's internet connection into my Htc DHD without any problem. Now the problem is,today i am trying to access my DHD files via wifi using SwiFTP,it's OK but i cant access my laptop's files from my DHD using es file manager.It shows nothing on scan.I am going to LAN option then menu->new->scan it shows nothing.Plz help me brother.And forgive me for my bad English.
I'm assuming that you are using connectify as you don't have a wireless router.
SwiFTP FTP only sets up a FTP server on your phone so other machines can connect to it to access files. It doesn't work the other way around.
To see files on your laptop from your phone you need to set up a windows/samba share on the laptop. Then scan should pick that up.
Hope that helps, if you have any more questions just ask.

2 Devices WiFi Browse Okay, No Lan with BS Player or ES File Explorer

I'm able to connect to my home wifi and use multiple browsers on both my Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Tab 10.1
I HAD been able to connect in LAN mode to my PC on both BS Player & ES File Explorer to my computer.
When I do a scan for the servers my PC IP address shows up but I can no longer connect.
I am using a server name instead of just the address numbers.
I have folders shared on the PC and have a user name and password set up in W7.
I've uninstalled the Android apps & reinstalled. No good.
Frustrated.
What now?

Access Windows files and stream+copy Directly via WIFI without router possible?

Hey guys i have been trying to figure out how to use this wifi streaming and copy thing for the past month but cant really get anywhere....
ALL i want to do is access my windows shared folder from my phone and play movies or even copy them...and maybe send my phone files to pc without usb via directly WIFI
but the many tutorials are always referring to use a router which i dont have
all i have is a laptop with wifi bluetooth and my htc one x
SO my question is if i can enable the wifi to turn into hotspot why cant i use that same wifi to create a Wireless LAN for my hox to connect???
i know android doesnt support Ad-hoc yet but there is a way to create a LAN via access point right??
SO far i used connectify to create a Wireless LAN then use ES file manager to get access to my shared folder....but its sooo slow and when i open a media file it says server time out
so how exactly is the wifi supposed to be used as a substitute to USB??
Please guys any help is appreciated
