Using computer's internet connection with Wi fi on ELM

Hello everyone.

I dont know how to set us ip address in both computer and my phone to use my computer's internet connection by Wi Fi on the phone.

I can connect with my phone by Wi Fi to computer but I can do nothing then. I also shared the internet connection but i cant use it on my phone and the cause is incorrect IP configuration, I think.


I also want to transfer my files on the phone to my computer (and vice versa) by WiFi but I dont know how to do it.

Would u pls hlp me

I found answer for using com's INT connection in ELM with Microsoft Windows 7 on the following post { http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/10123 }. In fact I tried connecting USB cable and disconnecting that for several time and at last (in the 5th try) it connected to the internet. But not yet for wifi and also bluetooth connection (as the subject {Using computer's internet connection with Wi fi on ELM}). May you help me in that? A furthur question: How to  transfer files . . . between PC & ELM using WiFi?

Hello again. My problem by WiFi connection to COM's INT is solved; but the matter about transferring files usig WiFi still remained unsolved. May anyone help me?

First you need to add this wifi network as a Favourite in your phone's wifi settings.Then you need to go to your phone's Connectivity settings and enable Network sharing for that network.After that go to your PC's Network, wait for your phone to appear, double-click on memory/memory card drives and you can then transfer files between PC and phone by copy/paste or drag/drop.Hope this helps.

Thank you for answering. I did so but i think I didn't get exactly what you said. Although, I openned control panel and typed network (in MS Win 7) but even when having access to PC's internet in the phone, no any network is shown in  {map network drive} section and the phone storages are not shown. I  think that: what you said may be true in Win XP; but what should I do?  (having Win 7 and its exceptional conifigurations)

1) Actually I was going according to Vista OS.If you go to: Control Panel--Network and Internet--Network Sharing Centre--Sharing and Discovery: Here make sure that Network Discovery,File Sharing and Media Sharing are all turned ON.(The set-up might be a bit different for Win 7)

2) On your phone, make sure that you have a Wifi connection to your router, that you have set this as a Favourite network in the wifi settings and that you have turned Network Sharing on in the Connectivity settings.

3) Once all of the above have been set up, then go to: Control Panel--Network and Internet--View network computers and devices: Wait a little while until your phone's icon appears, double-click on it and then you will see the phone memory and memory card folders.
