Hello Balaji,
I recommend you use an app called Dukto to send files between your phone and your pc over wifi:

If you don't have WLAN (i.e. wireless network), then set up an ad-hoc network on your pc (google it), on which you connect your mobile phone.

Is your PC connected to the internet through a LAN cable, or through wireless?

Is that a USB modem?

In any case, it is possible to share internet through an ad-hoc network.

It shows how to share LAN internet through wireless.
It also has links for Vista & XP.

I hope this solves all your concerns. =)

Hello,

I also got a lumia 800, 3 days back.

i tried all the tricks in the book to connect my lumia fone to the the ad-hoc network created from my pc.(connectify,virtual router, manual network) however the fone is unable to discover the network at all and after all the searching, it shows no network found. it is amusing that a less powerful symbian fone from nokia is able to work well on the ad-hoc network.

When i took the fone to the dealer (Croma in Mulund, Mumbai) they were unable to address this problem.

I would like to know, whether Its  a general flaw in the Lumia series( window 7.5) or some problem with my handset in particular.

Please let me know since i wont mind replacing it soon for the very reason.

 

Earliest response will be appreciated,

Rohit Nerurkar
