If my laptop is connected to the web via wifi, then to connect to my laptop do I still use the ip address, or do I use the gateway? Ive been trying the ip address and it gives me the timed out path not found message.

I am able to access folders within the "users" folder. Pics/docs etc but not able to access the admin folder on my laptop....why is that?

you have to set your entire computer as 'shared' not just certain folders

Ahh, I see!

Today's update allows a FTP connection! Can anybody tell me how to connect this way as well? I assume this is for remote connection via internet. right?

Haven't gotten it to connect... sent an E-mail to the developer for a troubleshoot list or instructions so I can check against that. Will post back when I've got the answer.

either way here's a good step by step guide how to set up FTP. (it's for XP but you can search for whatever OS you're running )

this isn't your fault... it just recently changed ... used to be called remote... now it's labeled "LAN"... it's the middle tab.

Can't get this to work. I either get timed out or the user/pw are incorrect (and I'm sure they're correct).

I've read the notes on the dev's website.

I've tried turning off my firewall and toyed around w/ permissions, but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas?
