Hi guys,
I would like to access some shared files with my SGS2 in my home network through wifi. So i first looked up for some information. I installed the ES File Explorer and configured a folder on my harddisk to be shared.
Once i opened ES File Explorer, i thried to add a new server. So i filled in my ip-address and my username and password from the computer. But ESFE wasn't able to connect to it.
So i went looking on the internet for some information, and what i learned from it was that it worked through a smb connection, but i don't have any clue how to let it work.
Could anyone explain me how to set up such an smb connection and what are the different steps so that i can access the shared files on my computer with my SGS2.
Thx for the help.
Hi, depends on what operating system you use on the computer.
If your running windows make sure you have file and print sharing enabled in networking, and a shared folder. Appart from that smb is running.
Make sure when you connect your connecting to the shared folder as some file managers wont connect to just the pc.
If your runnin mac os or linux itl take some config so youl have to look that up.
Hope that helps!

I'm running on Windows 7 Enterprise edition 64 bit. File and print sharing is enabled.
I turned Windows Firewall off and instead i'm using the AVG firewall. Do I have to configure something in the firewall options?
I installed Astro File Manager and the SMB file module.
I had no problem accessing the windows shares on my local network - just entered IP address, share name, user name and password and it connected straight away.
Ok i found the (provisional) solution for my problem.
It worked to connect when i turned of the AVG firewall, so probably i have to configure something into AVG.
Yeah firewalls tend to like blocking smb. Somewhere you should be able to allow either port 445 or smb or file sharing in AVG not used it so i dont know where but it will be there! Glad you found a solution.

I have also been facing same problem.could not solve as above,my pc is running win 7 and i'm on checkrom3.1.1 with siyah kernal.How to share files on LAN apart from Kies Air( i have not installed it in my ROM.Pls help
It's there a way to access my phones files without it being connected to my WiFi network? Maybe an app that can run as a service?
Sent from my overclocked LG G2x
Currently NO, there isn't any Service or App yet that can do such thing !
yes it IS POSSIBLE - since the beginning of android
try Termux with sshd ( openssh ) - free on the PlayStore
if you don't want to, just root it, setup buisybox and make a reverse Tunnel over SSH
you can read everything about that when you search on google for "autossh linux setup"
you do the same, but without AutoSSH
if you dont want to do this, you can make yourself an openVPN server and connect your phone to it - thats pretty easy . then just use SSHDroid or Termux to set up an SSH server - After you have done this, connect your PC to the VPN network and ssh into the phone - if you dont want to connect your pc to the server , shh throuch ssh to the phone from the server
you don't need to rent a server yourself - if you run linux just install opennssh and run sshd and forward your ports. If you are on Windows, idk just google
I use this technique since 2011 to remotly controll my phone with an internal meterpreter session - so i can wipe everything or spy the guy who stole my phone when its lost

hope it helped - if you aren't too techy its maybe a little hard
Hi,
I want to develop an application which runs a Http server without any external modem i.e. both server and wifi tethering should be in same device.
Example lets say android devices A, B and C are there. Now device A will be tethering (wifi hotspot enabled) as well server has to run in it. So that device B and C can connect to it forming a client which can access the server. How do i do this. Pls help...
I tried using server ultimate app, but ended without success since it is working only when i'm connected with external wifi modem/mobile data.
Pls let me know if there are any application exist like my requirement.
Please provide me solution, I'm in need of very urgent.
Thanks in advance
I have several android boxes which run Hola VPN, but my friend gave me his CS918 box to install it on it. This box will not allow me to run any VPN at all, it just keeps disconnecting all the time, even with a paid VPN I have on trial
Hola throws up a message about superuser access denied, but I do not have this installed on the device at all
Can anyone help me please?

I'm afraid, Hola need Rooting on Android versions below 4.0. It's because Hola's Android API is not available on older versions (Android 2.3.7 and below), so Hola requires Root access to handle these requests.
If you don't want to root your device, I suggest flashing your current router with DD_WRT firmware.
DD-WRT is a free open source project aimed at developing a Linux based firmware solution that removes the restrictions placed on routers by their default programming. Fortunately, it has the option of selecting different VPN configurations like: PPTP, L2TP or OpenVPN and Once configured, users on the network don’t need to enter a log in process when they need to activate the VPN. It just starts automatically, so any device connects automatically and easily, giving you all the benefits of using a reliable VPN service.
In order to check whether your router is DD-WRT supported or not, please check your router here : http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
And here is a configuration guide that will give you better idea of how you can config it on your router.
Hope it could help.
Does anyone have this working? I am seeing no information about it, and ran into a road block when trying to do it myself. Something about failed to initialize the virtualization engine or something.

My problem is that I can't get VirtualBox to install. It gets 3/4 way through installing, then "rolls back" and tells me there was a fatal error.
The problem as of current is the install of network virtual adapters on non-beta in Virtualbox. As genymotion completes install with the no V.B. install. And I don't blame the folks for waiting for Windows 10 to be final and stable before tackling it. You are beta testing Windows 10, as am I, So there really isn't a proper channel to apeal too. You should never install a beta OS on your main machine, at least not as the main OS, and expect everything to work smoothly. Im afraid to say it, but there is nothing we can do yet, just wait for M$ to straighten their end out, as it worked via build 10056, but M$ broke it after that. I am currently trying to get the beta Virtualbox to install via editing ORCA. I'll update when I have more.
Update
Virtualbox 5.0 beta 4 installs, no problem. However Genymotion refuses to see it installed as it is a beta, so until V.B. is finalized for 5.0, and Windows has been closer to completion, well see more. Whatever I tried in ORCA, I had no success. Ironically when Genymotion broke in Windows 10 build 10056, so did my sound but the most recent build, 10122, brought my sound back and allows VB betas to work but not the stable version.
if you want to try the beta for virtualbox 5.0 Beta 4 resides here :

Hi,
does this mean you installed the beta 4 on TP 10122 *with* the virtual network adapter without rollback?
Yes, however Genymotion doesn't recognize it.

Thank you, I will try the new beta.
I miss Genymotion too but I have a installed Win10 guest where I need the virtual bridge network (NAT is running ofc).

Sorry, but as expected the beta 4 wizard "ended prematurely" as before.
I had to reinstall VB without the virtual network bridge again.
For those interested, w10 build 10130 and genymotion (2.5 just launched today), still issues.

I think this is VirtualBox issue, not Genymotion`s
Virtualbox runs fine on Windows 10 build 10130. However genymotion seems to have problems initializing it. I believe this is a genymotion problem.

Well, i have "virtualization plugin not found" issue. It comes because of virtualbox can`t properly install "Host-only network adapter" driver on win10.
Sorry you are right about that. The problem is Virtualbox and host-only network adapter. I had created a VM in vbox and ran it so I thought it wasn't the problem.
What is really annoying is that it actually does create the adapter. If you go to Device Manger -> Network Adapters -> you will see Virtual box host-only adapters listed there.
So it's really close to working just something fails at the end of the process.
I was able to get genymotion working in Windows 10.
It is failing trying to create the host-only adapter, so you must do it yourself manually, and then it will use that.
- Run virtualbox as administrator
- Go to File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host Only Networks
- Add a new network. IP address 192.168.1.201, mask 255.255.255.0. Go to DHCP server and enable it. IP address 192.168.1.100, mask 255.255.255.0, lower bound 192.168.1.101, upper bound 192.168.1.199
- Save all and exit
- Now run genymotion.
It works!

Hello,
I can not add a new Host Only Networks on my PC. So I modified the existing network with same IP above but I can not run Genymotion.
I also tried to stop, start vboxdrv service (used sc.exe start vboxdrv on cmd) and it still was not success.
I restarted my PC many times and it still was not success too. But I saw that everytimes I run Genymotion, it had new network in Host Only Networks of VirtualBox. I think Genymotion didn't use my network that I configed before.
So I go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings. I saw 2 VirtualBox Ethenet. I disabled once and configed the remain likes network in Host Only Networks of VirtualBox.
I run Genymotion again and it's works. I use Windows 10 Build 10162, Genymotion 2.5.0, VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC2. Please see my picture.
Sorry my English. Hope this help.
Thanks grennis .
@nguyenthanhhai
Your solution sounds awesome but I can't figure out how to do it.
If you could please post a step by step instruction with screenshots (all the way from installing virtualbox). Or just record yourself doing it (screen recording), that would be purely amazing !!!
Thanks so much for your help
The idea is to setup a host-only network the way genymotion likes it whether you do it from vbox (run as administrator!) like I did, or from WIndows network settings like nguyenthanhhai did.. Then it won't try to create a new one. Give the adapter IP address 192.168.1.201, mask 255.255.255.0. Go to DHCP server and enable it. IP address 192.168.1.100, mask 255.255.255.0, lower bound 192.168.1.101, upper bound 192.168.1.199. I also have genymotion running just fine, this does work.
At last
Yep, win 10 build 10162 works fine
At least, Genymotion working on build 10162. Thank you very much grennis and nguyenthanhhai.

Thank you for your help.
Now I could at least start Genymotion player again and my virtual guests too.
But I have nowhere internet access.
How should I configure the Windows VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter, especially DSN-server and gateway?
I cannot use DHCP because of VMWare installed with an own DHCP-server.
I am running VB 5.0 RC3 and Genymotion 2.50.
Thank you.
