Can someone give me an easy way to "add server". I assume this is how I can file share with my home network? Laptop?
Right?
Step by step is you don't mind

I'm using XP so I don't know about Windows 7 but I would assume it would be the same or similar.
1. First get your computer's IP address...
Windows XP, without using the command prompt
Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000, using the command prompt
- From the Start menu, right-click My Network Places, and then click Properties.
- To view the IP address of a wired connection, double-click Local Area Connection. To view the IP address of a wireless adapter, double-click Wireless Network Connection.
- Click the Support tab, and then click Details... . The window that appears will display the IP address.
2. Open EStrongs on your Droid > click on Remote > press Menu button > New > Server > add you IP address....
- Click Start, and then select All Programs (Windows 7, Vista, and XP) or Programs (2000). Note: If this doesn't match what you see, refer to About navigation settings in Windows.
- Click Accessories, and then Command Prompt.
- At the command prompt, enter: ipconfig The IP address (or IPv4 address, if you are using Windows 7 or Vista) will be a series of numbers following the pattern xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (i.e., 156.56.27.32).
You must have a username and password login for you PC set. (when you load windows it asks you to enter password.... you have to have a password set in order for this to work.)
3. Enter you username and password in the provided fields. This will give you complete access to your PC.
**If you don't wish to be able to view all folders on your PC, and you only want to be able to view certain 'shared' folders... when you add the IP address, at the end, add "/My Documents" (My Documents is an example... add what ever folder name you wish to have access to.)
4. Select to remember your username and password. Now you should be all set!
this is for what? to share files between the droid and the computer through your network? what do I need es file explorer thats it?
thanks
I'm working with my laptop...I have the IPv4 address. What name and password, one isnt required for me to start W7 on this laptop. I'm a bit thickheaded sometimes Appreciate the help!
Do you know why music that I transfered through my network using estrong over to the Droid shows up on the SD card when looking using Estrong but in the actual stock music player the files arent there?
I now re-transfered using the usb cable and the stock media player now sees the files.
