“I couldn’t believe how amazingly easy WiFi File Transfer was to use … I was equally impressed with the speed the transfers seemed to possess. I was also able to effortlessly create and manage new folders from my BlackBerry and from my computer.”

“..great solution that I am surprised nobody thought of before. It simply lets you browse your BlackBerrys file system over Wi-Fi and copy, paste, add, remove and rename files back and forth just using your computers browser. This essentially means you do not need media manager and desktop manager just to copy a new MP3. … pretty slick!”

Make sure that the BlackBerry and the PC are on the same WiFi network

Check the name of the wifi network (SSID) from both the BlackBerry and the PC.

Get the IP address of both the BlackBerry and the PC

To get the IP address of the BlackBerry, simply start Wifi File Transfer and look at the popup. The address should look something like: 192.168.0.3
The PC’s IP address should be exactly the same as the BlackBerry’s IP address except for the last digit – in this case, something like: 192.168.0.
(If this is not the case, please check again whether the BlackBerry and PC are on the same network).

Check the connection between the PC and Blackberry by sending a Ping

Send a ping to the PC from the BlackBerry by going to “Manage Connections” on the BlackBerry home screen, then “Wifi Options”. Click the menu button and select “Wi-Fi Tools” -> “Ping”. In the “Ping to” field, insert the PC’s IP address and start.

Send a Ping from the PC to the BlackBerry by typing “ping 192.168.0.3″ (replacing the IP address with your BlackBerry’s address) from the command prompt.

If the ping is not successful in both cases:
- Try turning the BlackBerry’s wifi connection off then on again.
- Try turning the PC’s wifi connection off then on again.
- Check your wifi router’s settings and make sure communication between members of the network is enabled.

If the ping test fails…

This means that the PC and Blackberry cannot make a connection over your wifi network. Note that this test has nothing to do with the Wifi File Transfer application itself, but is a property of the WiFi network itself (In fact, it is not necessary to have the Blackberry application running during this test).
The test could be failing for a number of reasons, here are a few things to try:

- Make sure that Wifi is turned on properly on your BB. Try turning off all connections except Wifi.
- Try turning the BlackBerry’s wifi connection off then on again.
- Try restarting the Blackberry with a battery pull.
- Try turning the PC’s wifi connection off then on again. Try restarting the PC.
- Confirm that the BB and PC are actually on the same WiFi network by comparing their IP addresses (The addresses should be the same until the last ‘.’).
- Check your wifi router’s settings and make sure communication between members of the network is enabled.
