2. Get the computer name or IP address of your PC.
3. Turn on WiFi on your phone. If it automatically connects you to your home router go back into your Communications settings. Hit the Settings button on the bottom right and select Wireless LAN.
4. Hit the Change Network button on the settings screen.
5. Select your router again but in the "Connects To" dropdown, chose Work. Hit next through the end.
6. Now in the built in file explorer you can go to Menu->Go To->Open Path. Put in "\\YourComputerName" or "\\192.168.1.XXX" (your local IP address)
There ya go. It's alot easier than it looks.

OK, so if it's so simple, why can't I do it? [Insert your insult here

I get "The network path was not found" error. I've tried everything listed in this forum, except that I have not installed any of the "rescom" type explorers; seems pointless unless I can connect. BTW - In case it is related, my phone will not connect to my pc any more via usb, so I can't ActiveSync or Data connect any more. I have worked through all the tips to fix that, as well, with no luck.
Thanks from a frustrated WM user.
