I tried a few different remote access programs to access files on my phone and all of them failed to work properly. Programs I've tried include the following:

Is there some kind of "firewall" that might be blocking access on my phone? This seems to happen on different ROMs so it doesn't seem to be an isolated issue.
I even tried different browsers on my Windows 7 computer (Firefox and Internet Explorer) both of which failed (page not found).
Anyone else has similar problems or know of a solution?
Thanks.
Does anyone have a similar problem? Stuck with this now. Thanks.
Most of those kind of apps require your phone and computer to be on the same WiFi network, is that the case?
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the last one (Wireless File Transfer) actually won't work unless I'm connected to WiFi. Once I have the connection, the button is not blocked allowing me to enable it. I waited over a minute to see if I can connect from my browsers (Firefox & IE). Both say page not found. I can't even ping it which is weird.
The remote desktop seems to work directly via 3G. It gave me my phone's IP which I tried connecting to and once again, got a page not found.
Can anyone try any of those programs on their HD2 to see if it works? Not sure if it could be the ROM I'm using, but it's the HD2ONE ROM using Clockwork Recovery.
I'm using HyperDroidGBX NAND ROM and still experience this problem. Remote desktop apps (whether it's to connect to a desktop or have a desktop connect to the phone) are not working. I can't enable file sharing apps either (ex: File Expert).
I also want to use the wireless tethering feature. Since I've seen most of the ROMS don't have this working properly, I downloaded the Android Wireless Tether and have the same issue with it working. My computer could connect to the phone without any issues but I can't get any webpage...I could however ping them (ex: google.com). I tried the suggestiongs at that webpage including changing channels and removing the encryption passphrase.
Is there some kind of limitation by the phone or computer? I tried this both using WiFi and on the phone's data service with no luck.
Thanks.

I seem to have this strange issue where I can do many operations over WIFI (e.g. FinchSync), except connect to network shares. Some other people have mentioned this, but mine has a different twist: I get a message saying that I can't connect to a network path with my current connection settings, yet I have my WIFI working.
I run an HTC Diamond (WM 6.1 Pro) on Telus CDMA in Canada.
Any idea? I've tried everything, but I can't get my head around this. I tried changing the settings, but I don't want ALL my internet apps to connect through my Wifi, because obviously I'm not always around it. Still this seems to be the only other option.
tried using total commander?
Hum... for mobile? No I didn't know it existed. However, there must be a way to have two Windows OS to talk to eachother without third party software, isn't there?
Same problem
I have the same problem. I tried Totalcommander today and it didn't work. Ik got error 53 and thats all. Other idea?
I got so fed up with network shares on my phone that I disabled it.
Non branded hd2 on stock wwe 1.66 rom on t-mobiles network. For some strange reason I can connect to Marketplace via t-mobile but not through my home wifi, on wifi it says unable to connect to server, pls check your connection (the that it has encountered a serious problem), but my connection is fine as I can surf via wifi no problem. I uninstalled marketplace, soft reset, reinstalled, still ith problem persists, anyone else have this?
BUMP
some mobile programs require a cellular data connection to work properly. I'm guessing marketplace is one of them.
On second thought, looks like I can access Microsoft Marketplace on wifi. Are you sure that your wifi is working and doesn't require going through an approval process? (Some wifi's have a home page that you have to agree to terms on before you can access)
I had the same problem with Active sync with a cable I could surf the internet but couldn’t access market place downloads (Marketplace could not cannot connect to a server) so I disconnected and just connected to the modem Wi-Fi and no problem with Market Place all downloaded.
Strange
Had this issue myself with T-Mobile,
After months of searching it would appear that the problem was that Marketplace requries and authentication code and at some point when using the phone this was switched off.
From what I read the person didnt know how to change it within the phone but could view that it was turned off, they put on a new ROM and Marketplace flew into action.
I followed this and also slapped on a new ROM..... has worked for me and am using Marketplace to the best of its abilities.
Basic answer....flash a new ROM!
I have a Wifi only Xoom running android 3.1.
I'm connected to my internet. Tried rebooting xoom & Router
Today when I connected only the browser seems to work. Tried many different websites all load fine.
Any time I try to access the internet via another application it shows no internet access. Android Market just keeps saying no internet connection.... Ive tried 3 different apps besides the market. Nothing....
Any idea's ?
Is there a option in the settings that would disable app internet connections ???
I have the same problem, and I have not found a solution to the issue. I notice that some apps can find the internet just fine (Beautiful Widgets), while apps like CNN say I must connect to a network. *Despite the fact I am on a super fast WiFi network*
backup all your files(music,movies,etc) and restore it back to factory. What happen was the update didn't take 100%. I had problem but everything is great after a factory reset.
Creating a new topic, because the other one is tagged as solved, but it doesnt solve my problem however.
So my wifi is not working, it's connecting to any wifi hotspot but not sending data thru that, which ends in failing loading any pages on IE, cannot download any apps from market and so on...
Anyway this is what I tried so far:
1. Flashed to stock rogers (also tried different Tango roms)
2. Did hard reset procedure via hardware keys (Format all Yes)
3. Did hard reset procedure via About menu
4. Did hard reset procedure via Samsung Diagnosis code sequence
5. Logged to my wifi network, everything looks fine at this point.
6. Opened IE and entered google.com:
"We're having trouble connecting to this webpage" (sometimes no error message but white page with scrolling bars appearing on touch)
7. Tried to access my wifi router via IP address (192.168.1.1) - the same results like above
8. Tried to ping my Samsung Fous IP (192.168.1.18) from my PC with success
9. Disabled wifi network security on home wifi router, the Focus still not working
Additionaly tried a method that fix issues with wifi after using latest wp7 tools, but it didnt help at all.
When using my providers APN there is no problem with opening pages on IE etc., but it's not Wifi.... Internet is also working if I have USB cable plugged in, but again it's not wifi.
Cannot use warranty, the phone is from the USA and I'm in Europe... without any warranty service.
What else I can do, maybe there are some diagnosis codes that can actually help with real diagnosis on what happened with wifi on my phone?
Hello again (from the other thread). For completeness, add the following:
- current OS version
- did/not use WindowBreak
- when did the problem start (if you can identify an event and OS version/revision) - or you noticed
There might be a test for wireless in the "diagnosis codes"... Good luck!
After you use the diagnosis fix, it might take some time, mine didn't work immediately but after some time, it detected my home network. But it seems you are able to connect but internet does not work, this is certainly issue with router/DNS settings in your phone, because I have faced these problems in iPhone, it might wrongly mapped to unreachable ip, but never faced this issue in Windows Phone, you might try changing the default gateway/dns settings, you should also reset your modem/router, and try basic setup before WPA/WPA2 setup

Hi there
Currently using 7.10.8773.98, (MAGLDR 2.0) but tried different versions, even vanilla pre-mango ones, they didnt work well with wifi on my phone either. I checked it at friends home wifi, which is totaly different network and routers.
I never used WindowBreak, never had to because my phone was already unlocked long time ago with ChevronWP7 application.
Noticed the problem about 2 weeks ago, but I didnt use wifi too much, so it could started much earlier. Last installed application was WP7 Tools 0.8 alpha, and all I did back then was using some built-in tweaks (3G?) if there is any, cant remember to be honest but for sure I wasnt editing registry or anything like that, I just play some games from time to time, cant event tell why I installed it, maybe because I noticed there is a new version. I cant tell because I never paid attention to it especially with rare wifi usage at a time.
I have isolated the problem I guess, and it's not the phone's fault. Something wrong with the main access point (Mikrotik) at my place. This is weird because everything is working just not on Samsung Focus. I digged thru many options and couldnt find anything that blocked or stuff like that. Well took it to totaly different place and another wifi network, and guess what - it's connecting to wifi with data flow...
Anyway consider this topic as solved.
I have had my Samsung Galaxy A20s phone for several months. One of the first apps that I usually install is "WiFi File Transfer Pro", which is an older app, but it still works well for transferring files over WiFi. When the app is started, I can just type something like:
http://192.168.0.191:1234
into my laptop's Firefox or Chrome browsers, and I get the complete list of folders on my phone. Then I can download or upload files from and to my phone, by using laptop only. No cable connection is necessary, everything goes over my WiFi router.
Well, this worked normally until today, when I wanted to transfer some files and started the app on the phone, went to my laptop's firefox and when I tried to open the above mentioned address, I got this message in Firefox:
Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.191:1234.
I get a similar message in Chrome on laptop as well:
This site can’t be reached
http://192.168.0.191:1234/ is unreachable.
ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE
I don't remember that I made any major updates to my phone in the past month (which is when I used the Wifi file transfer app for the last time, and when it worked). I may have installed some new apps in the past few weeks, but, as far as I know, those apps are unlikely to mess with wifi (I could be wrong here, though).
Strangely enough, if I open Firefox or Chrome browsers on my Samsung A20s phone, and go to the above mentioned address, I DO GET the list of folders from Wifi File Transfer Pro app, as if everything is working fine!
However ,on my laptop, it looks as if the phone's web server (I believe that is how it's called) is not reaching it at all.
I had a similar issue before because one app on the phone used to block the web server from being seen on other devices. It was "Open VPN Connect", which I use to access my VPN provider. However, now even when that app is not working, the web server from my phone doesn't reach my laptop over WiFi.
I tried many other similar apps that enable one to transfer files by using the web or ftp server, and none of them now works with my laptop. However, they all DO work on the phone's browsers.
Could someone please help me diagnose and fix this problem? This phone definitely worked well with these file transfer apps, and they worked normally with my laptop.
By the way, on my laptop I have Manjaro XFCE with the latest updates.
I've just found the solution!
It seems I ticked an option in my router settings a few days ago which messes with this file transfer function (and then kinda forgot about it). The setting is called "All the wireless client device is completely isolated". This should be switched off, and I have probably ticked it inadvertently.
