[Q] Files from LAN

---

While I was playing around with the Sylvania MID 7" from Sears, I found that it was able to search my local area network using ES Explorer and find files on my Windows devices (including my main Windows 7 machine). That device went back for a variety of reasons. Now with the G Tablet under ES Explorer, I can't see my PCs or NAS devices and I can only type in IP addresses which don't seem to work (even my Linksys NAS which runs a version of Linux doesn't connect). With the other device I was able to find video files and play them. This device isn't allowing me to do that.

Are there some settings or tweaks I need to be looking at?

Just checked my es expolorer and under lan I can see my network by IP.

Running DLink DIR-655 router.
I can see my dlink nas and other PC

I can even login to see my Home sever (HP Media Smart Server)

I have a TonidoPlug running Tonido and was able to add it as a new server in ES Explorer. I am able to browse the entire server and play media, open images, and open Word docs, etc from it. SUPER EASY!!!

It won't play avi's, but it will play mp4 videos streaming.

Thanks for the tip on ES. I didn't know it could connect over the network.
