Re: Transfer files using wifi?

Set up your computer with file and printer sharing turned on. Share a folder on your computer. Make sure your PPC is connected to your home router and is on the same subnet as the computer. Go into File Explorer on the PPC and pick Open from the menu. In the open dialog type "\\computername\sharename" and press enter. The computername is the netbios name of your computer and the sharename is the share name you gave to the file share folder when you shared it on the PC. Remember to share a folder on the PC you need to right click on the folder and select properties and use the sharing tab.

Re: Transfer files using wifi?

I use Resco Explorer and it has the ability to map network drives. I have a shared folder on each of the 4 PC in my house that I use to move files around. After attaching to the network and mapping these shared folders, I am able to move a file to and from my Omnia (using the Omnia). I have not looked to see if the PCs can see the PPC, but this works for me.
