hey,
until recently i was able to connect to my shared files on my computer running win-XP via wi-fi connection with my magic. i used programs like es explorer and such. after i upgraded to win7 i cannot longer connect via wi-fi. the massage says something like: "smb://..... could not find the server". i checked everything i can: parameters of my router, shared options in win7. driver updates etc.
i gave up, but today i saw somewhere that linux systems have a problem to connect to win7 systems because of a problem with the smb server.
pls, does anyone know how to fix it?
pls if anybody is able to access their windows 7 shares with android' could help me do this?
the strange thing is that i could do this with the win7 but after the first updates of the sys' it stopped working.

Ok i just got a new laptop which is loaded with the new (but crappy) microsoft vista operating system. first off let me say this, vista is an ultra headache to deal with! i dont recommend anyone using this operating system, unbuntu (linux) is way easier than vista.
anyways, back to where i was going.... my other laptop, which is loaded with windows xp, succesfully installed the usb modem drivers for the apache 6700. but whenever i try to install the same exact driver on my new laptop it says "windows cannot find the specified file"! i pointed the driver file , .inf, to the correct directory and everything. i downloaded another dialer and driver file and put it on the desktop, still windows cannot find the file even though i point windows to it (cot damn vista!).
this leads me to believe that this driver file does not work under vista. can anyone else confirm this or tell me what im doing wrong? i tried many different ways of install the driver, but vista fails. please, can anyone help me?
no body huh?
vista and dun
i too have the same problem with vista... i have read and tried several "solutions" to this but none have worked for me- my computer keeps installing a treo driver which doesnt work- funny part is i can do a BT DUN @ about 115.2kbps but if i push it too hard the phone freezes... i have been thinking about installing xp on my brand new laptop that came with vista.
Anyone figure out how to install USB drivers on Vista, mines also installs Treo Drivers on its own i can't stop it from doing that, any insight?
I am using a PPCGeeks Rom (LennySH i think) and it has an application called internet sharing. When connected with my Vista laptop the laptop uses it automatically for internet no additional drivers needed.
It also has a bluetooth setting that Vista will use to connect to a "personal area network" and your online without the cable. However the usb connection is faster.

**using Helmi not LennySH
Had a search and found 1 or 2 things but they never worked for me. Anyway I have complied this driver for Windows XP so all you need to do is add it to your Internal Storage, plug it in to your computer copy it to your PC, then set your phone to internet sharing. When it moans that it dosn't know where the driver is, point it to them and it should work.
I just tested it on an XP machine and it worked so hopefully it will work for you.
If there is already a solution for this please let em know.

4.2.6 USB tethering
I downloaded the drivers but don't know where to put them. I think I'm not doing something right.
1. Plug in phone via USB (dont' have "Wireless tether for root users running")
2. settings / wireless controls/ "click" internt tethering
3. go to PC and wireless network connections, select G1Tether and click connect. it will not connect
is this a driver problem? do i need "wireless tether for root users" running?
help
thanks... vista and windows 7 has the drivers inbuilt but not for windows xp..
Driver works on Magic 32A with SuperD 1.5.1, WinXP SP2.
Thank you very, very much
Maciek.
Worked beautifully for me!
Worked great for me!
Thanks,

I cannot get these drivers to work. I'm using an xp machine and every time I turn on the usb tethering, it automatically installs drivers identified as "HTC remote ndis remote device" and it has a big yellow ! next to it. I tried pointing at your folder for the device wizard and it says it couldn't locate better drivers to install. What am I missing here?
I have the same issue with you, waiting for the solution.

Try tell it that you will select the driver manually. Then click the "Have Disk" button and point to the inf of this driver. That should install it regardless of what Device Manager thinks is the best drriver.
Been having trouble getting wired tether to work also. In device manager I had a yellow "!" sign on USB composite device, installed the driver from this thread and the caution sign disappeared - still no tethering though
I suppose I'll just have to make do with wireless tether.
when I point that file as the driver it tells me it isnt for that device.
Connect your phone, then when it says it has found new hardware but cant install it, go to the device manager, double click the and click reinstall driver.
Point the folder to where ever you saved the driver too and it should install.

Works
Worked for my Nexus 1 Cyanogen 5.0.5
Thanks to you for posting this and to the user who posted the info about vista and 7 having the driver already. I was scratching my head as to why this worked on my home laptop (vista) and not my work laptop (xp).
i got an old fossil
Windows 2000.....is this possible?
Thanks you! Something that finally works!
I have a question. My PC at work still has its normal LAN connection through a network card. Now I have this second connection through my G1. If I make a web request with Firefox, which connection will it use? Do I have to disable the LAN connection to guarantee that it uses the G1? Or is there someway to make Windows default to the G1 if it's attached, and use the LAN otherwise?
Works for USB tethering using Android 2.2 (Froyo) and Windows XP
Thanks for the driver. FYI I was able to use it with Android 2.2's built-in USB tethering and Windows XP SP3.
Unrooted Nexus One with stock Android 2.2 (Froyo)
this worked for me, thanks!

"all you need to do is add it to your Internal Storage" The file you posted is to get the driver on your computer working, right? Am I copying ANY file at all to the phone or?
Hi
I have been trying to install Kies, but I after step 3 of installation, Kies intaller says "Cannot access the file server. Please check the network settings."
I'm connected to internet, no firewall, no nothing.
Pls help, thx.
Same with me on WIN7 64bit The latest Kies version from samsung site. Did you solve it? Any solution?
I couldnt get it to install on my laptop or desktop which are both running Vista. I upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 32bit and it finally installed.
SOLVED
I have found the solution. Disable all network connections except one that is directly connected to the internet. I had VMware and BT connections beside my local area connection. Strange and stupid but its true.
I disabled all connexions ant it still wont install. Any other options?
Galaxy S is not connecting to the PC - not even on mass storage mode.
as unusual as it may sound, on my laptop running XP w/sp3, i had to first install
.NET 4 framework from microsoft (google it and download direct from microsoft), then reboot
then when installing Kies, believe it or not, it would not install until i connected to the internet by tethering via PDAnet so it could download something
inspite of the fact that Kies is a 316 MB file, it still needs to download more files, and apparently a big something cause it took about 25 minutes watching the progress bar), and then it completed perfectly
and even more curious to me, when i look in Control Panel under "remove programs), it only shows to be a 212 MB file - go figure
now the only issue i have is, on my desktop running Vista Home Premium, Kies will connect perfectly and read everything including my ext SD card ( and i haven't formatted my external SD card)
while on my laptop, it will not complete the MTP connection, but it will tether which is all i care for it to do on the laptop
and btw, it seems to browse faster while tethered via Kies

I was having the same problem here, XP SP3 on VirtualBox. The solution I found was to temporarily disable the Windows Firewall; after this, the Kies software could contact its server and installed without a hitch.

Thanks, turning off the Windows Firewall worked for me. Samsung needs to test this stuff more thoroughly before releasing. Having your installer error out because of Windows Firewall on default settings is not good.
Thanks!
Turning off the windows Firewall in a XP SP3 VMware System helped
I can't get kies to install on Win XP SP3 either
If I install from the disk it comes up with a dialog box asking for .net 3.5 and the only option in the dialog box is "e:\", which is my cdrom drive if i click ok nothing happens if i click cancel then installation is aborted. there is no option to browse to another location and I have also tried installing .net 3.5 manually and it has the same problem.
if I download kies from samsung then it takes ages to download, then eventually aborts and gives an error about not being a valid 32 bit application.
I have also tried disabling the firewall as well. I am really annoyed with this P.O.S software!!!
Does anyone have any suggestions for me before I attack the Galaxy with a sledge hammer?
Kind Regards
Kiwi

Theoretically it might be possible, if you already have all the pre-req already installed in the system
i'm installing KIES on a clean XP SP3 and to my surprise it needed:
Microsoft Installer 3.1
.NET framerwork 4.0
Windows Media Player 11
now it's trying to download an Outlook2007 add on
because that's the outlook installed in the system, it will try to add some add on for Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 and probably even Outlook XP
can't figure out where it's trying to file from, because it always gets stuck at 2% downloading and it's driving me nuts.
i can easily find the full file elsewhere i'm sure if i know which file it needs
I had same problem, I solved unistalling Norton Internet security an voilà, install it whith no problem, Norton sucks!

I have two issues with my MetroPCS LG K20 Plus and my Windows 10 computer.
The phone has debugging mode enabled, but is not rooted.
(1) I cannot see any Android files on Windows File Explorer via USB. The device shows up, but no folders. I also do not seem able to use any Android-to/from-PC apps that communicate across the USB cable.
(2) I am struggling to find a portable way to cast my phone screens to a Windows 10 PC. I have tried Bluetooth, but the related Android Settings options appear to be missing. I can pair to the PC successfully. The PC shows the Bluetooth connection as "Connected", but the phone shows "Connecting" for a while, and is then unconnected.
Can you suggest ways to enable this functionality?
I cannot install PC software to do it because I might be in an environment where I do not have access to the WiFi network, or am unable to install software or browser extensions or drivers on the PC. I cannot use WiFi for file access for the same reason. Cloud access from a public PC is a security risk.
It seems that LG (or perhaps MetroPCS) is deliberately trying to thwart casting and USB file access, and I cannot think of why they would do that.
I also have an issue with connecting this phone through usb. Windows 10. Says device can not be reconized. May have wrong lg usb driver version not sure. Needd it to read so that i can unlock the bootloader.
I 've been trying to connect my new S10+ by USB to my Ubuntu (Linux) laptop to transfer some files. After connecting, ensuring MTP file transfer is the selected USB option, and allowing the connection, I cannot browse the phone's file system or transfer any files from my laptop. I also sometimes see an error that the MTP process has died.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Any solutions?
