connecting to home network

[Mister Bletch]

I'm a bit of a tech novice so please bear with me.

I have a DHD and a WiFi router to which is connected a network media drive. What do I need to do to connect my DHD to the home network so I can exchange files with my network drive without involving my computer?

Do I need to set up a VPN? If so the phone's asking for a load of data I just don't understand.

Sorry if this is absurdly basic and thanks for your time.

I use Estrongs File Explorer to access my network share (NAS) over WiFi.
VPN is not necessary in a home network.

I had a problem using Estrong until I found some instructions, which were as follows:

click on local in the top left of the screen
change view to lan
select menu > new > scan

it will find your shares for you!

You learn how to spell correctly. Have no idea what you wrote.

I still have issue with this on Windows 7. Can't work out the user name and password EStrong is requesting.

LOL... you must not chat online too much i guess.. anyways if you can help i have no problem in typing it all out again just for you

I have my DHD connected to the home wifi..
but despite the phone showing the signal strength as excellent neither can i connect to any website nor does any of the apps recognize the signal..
is there any other option except a factory reset??? any suggestions???

hope that you get it and the spellings are good enough for you now...

@ Harry 2 & drhunter...

Thanks guys. Estrongs finds everything sure enough but it won't play any .avi files stating they are incompatible. Hmm.

@ brewer & punk...

Sorry I've no idea

Try your .avi on your SD card with the stock player.
If the stock player doesn't play it, Estrongs won't do it too.
And note that Estrongs couldn't stream videos.

But if want to play your .avi video on SD card then install RockPlayer from market
RockPlayer Universal - Android

With Windows 7 you should set a user name and password in Windows
(I assume you haven't yet ).
Then try with Estrongs again.

Use your pc user name and password, if you don't use a user login password on windows leave it blank, Estrong works great for me
