Hey gang,

I must admit, I'm as much a newbie about home networking as I am about rooting. I figured rooting out, with help from you guys, so I'm sure I'll be able to figure this out with your help.

I want to be able to access the files on my phone SD card on my home PC over my WiFi and vise-versa. I only have one home PC (hence complete noob about home networks) and a Linksys WRT54g wireless router and my PC is running Win7. I currently use ES File Explorer on my phone. So is there a way to get my phone to "show up" as a network device in Windows Explorer on my PC, and is there a way to get shared files on my PC to show up in ES File Explorer on my phone?

Thanks for the help!
 
There is an app called wifi file transfer that allows you to view your SD card and I think even your system files from your PC browser over a wifi network.
Someone also hacked the motorola app called Zumocast to work on any phone. That allows you to view your PC files from your phone over 3g or wireless network from anywhere.
I'll post links when I get home.
 
I use one called Wifi File Explorer that I like. You bring up the contents of the Inc2 on a browser on the PC. I also use it to transfer files over to my Android tab from the phone the same way.

I think there are a number of these apps that do the same thing.
