I had paid attention to port number, but still no luck - I didn't do anything with my router, should I?
I'm just trying out one of the free apps on the Android Market, so I'll see how that goes and let you guys know.
EDIT: I used a free Android Store FTP Server and so far everything seems to be working perfectly - not tried it on a different network yet, but at the moment, I'm just scrapping all my movies on my laptop,
