Actually i have windows pc connected to my D link DSL-2750U through an "ethernet RJ45 cable.""

My query to the experts out there is that i want to share my folder on my windows 8.1 pc so that
my movies,songs can be accessed on my android phones, kindle.

whenever i try to create a home group and search it on LAN in es file explorer it says not detected when we all are connected to the same wireless router.

my friends tell me that i should consider buying a wireless adapter for my pc but i want to use available resources first .

can some give me solution for this situation

your help will be greatly appreciated

Not sure about windows 8.1, but i can do that with Total Comander + windows lan plugin (also from total comander), and i can browse all the files in the designated share folder of my PC running windows 7. I don't think it has anything to do with whether youre connected via cable or wifi as long as youre connected via the same router(network). Also you cant expect to simply browse files from youre pc from youre android device as they are not within the same ecosystem. Hence the need for a program (file browser) that will bridge the ecosystem gap, in my case that is where total comander and its plug in comes into action.
