thanks for the info, rintintigger!

now if we can only find a way to browse a shared folder on our pc from the droid. i know it (the droid) probably already does, or will do soon...

Got this setup last night...pretty nice option to have to transfer files over.

So how do you refresh the the content on the SD card after adding or removing stuff? I have to plug and then unplug the Droid to a USB cable before it shows anything added/removed.

 

[RinTinTigger]

Yeah....

that is the only problem i got right now.
I just reboot the phone which only takes a minute or less.

But i am working on a solution atm

 

[synctek]

Kewl!!! I think the USB cable sync works but then whats the point of the wireless
Theres an option to un-mount the SD card, if they could just add the feature to mount it.......

 

[synctek]

Is there an app or a way to manually set the IP address on the Droid?

 

[RinTinTigger]

Not for 3G ...only for WiFi

 

[synctek]

What is the app that changes the IP on the wireless adaptator?

 

[RinTinTigger]

You dont need an app for this...

Just hit the menue, settings, wireless, WiFi, and there set static IP and Netmask ^^

There's a widget called SDMounty that'll do that with just a press.

BTW, does anyone have any idea why I'm unable to FTP or ping my Droid either via the direct IP address or using the DynDNS address? It works fine when I connect via my internal WiFi, but it isn't working over 3G. The attempts just timeout.

Any tips would be great as I'd love to get this working remotely.

Edit: I notice that when I try to run tracert on my IP, it times out after the third hop on a myvzw.com address (12 hops total).

Hey i followed the steps to get this to work and everything was fine except i cant use my static ip for some reason. When i open up FTPServer apptheres an ip address already on top and unless i use that one it wont mount.

Any reason for that? I went into my wifi settings and changed the settings to use static ip, made a static ip that isnt being used (checked for ping) i added the gateway ip and also the subnet mask ip and i restarted the FTP app and it still uses the ip address they gave me at the top.

Thanks

im also having a problem with moving files from one folder to another while its mounted through wifi, sometimes netdrive pops up saying error in something and other times it doesnt say anything at all but anytime i leave the folder it acts as if nothing has happened at all. Even when i rebooted the phone after i took files from one folder to another its as if nothing ever happened.
