How do I get my Droid to the wireless and connect to my home network to download stuff when I'm at home and not use the data connection. I get connected to the network but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Also is there a way to actually see the files on my computer via my dorid besides using logmein 39.00 program?

thank you

Settings --> Wireless --> Turn on Wi-Fi. Then go to Wi-Fi settings and add your home network. Once you're connected, that's it.

Yes, besides using LogMeIn, you can set up a VNC server on your home computer using something like UltraVNC and then access it with android-vnc-viewer on your Droid, though this requires more messing around than LogMeIn, including forwarding ports on your router and stuff like that. I won't go into detail on that, as you can get that information easily by looking at your VNC program of choice's documentation.
