Samsung Omnia tips – Share Internet and Files via WiFI
I did a lot of research on this but this is my final solution for sharing internet and files from a Laptop (WinXP) to Samsung Omnia (WM 6.1) over WiFI. Samsung Cell Phone tips & tricks
1. To make it clear you need to have a cable LAN internet connection going in the laptop as well as a WiFi card fully installed; Samsung Omnia
also the WiFi has to be activated on the Samsung Omnia Phone.
2. SETING UP THE LAPTOP (WIN XP)
A. For Internet sharing use this tutorial: http://cnettv.cnet.com/2001-1_53-28619.html
(the Win XP part is in the second half of the movie)
B. For Files sharing:
– Create a second user account on WinXP (not administrator)
– Disable simple file sharing from Explorer>Tools>Folder Options>View
– Right click on any folder in explorer and share the folder
(first time press on “just enable file sharing”)
– if you need to send files also in the oposite way, from Samsung Omnia to the Laptop u can also activate in the same place Sharing>Permissions>Full control for that specific folder
3. SETTING UP THE OMNIA (WM 6.1)
A. As soon as the internet sharing is in place on the Laptop, Samsung Omnia will find the WiFi network and try to connect (select the same options you did on the Laptop; Shared Network, same 5 characters network access password)
Open Opera>settings>connections and make sure it’s set to “Automatically detect settings”
B. Now, for seeing the files shared by your computer install this "V-Mobile Software Network Browser v1.3" on your phone

Once you opened the “Network Browser” you will see your computer in MSHome Network. Using the same user account and password you’ve set up in the WinXP accounts you can now connect and access your Laptop shared files from the phone.
*Alternatively, you can use also Resco File Explorer>Menu>File>Network>Map Drive to search for the shared folders
If anybody can’t do it, or they have any addition to make to this tutorial, or even other solution please reply to this post.
*** Please note that this tutorial has NOTHING TO DO with sharing Internet and Files from Samsung Omnia to a Laptop over WiFi.
