Is there an app that will allow an Android phone to access a windows network?

Astro File Manager has an additional SMB module that you can download separately to use with AFM. I remember trying it way back when and it force closing on my old D1 but it may be working better now.
Samba wouldn't be that hard to set up either, I'm sure its already been done

ES file explorer and file expert are both free and do not require an extra plugin to access network shares. I've used then both and prefer es file explorer.

Thanks for the help. I think our guy wanted to actually log onto the server and control it like you can from a work station. I don't think that's possible.

You can use an RDC client. I have Windows server 2008 r2 on a pc and I have remoted in to it with ny thunderbolt. You would have to figure out the networking issues related to this setup but it can be done.
Is he talking VPN and remoting in via the mobile network?

I haven't tried a similar solution over WiFi but logmein ignition over the internet has saved me a few trips to an actual workstation. For me, well worth the price. Requires an agent on the controlled computer though.

I have been using Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client to do this and it works well.
The main problem is that it doesn't play well with VPN connections. It will access machines remotely that have the RDP service advertised on the external side of the network but you can't make a generic VPN connection and access machines across the tunnel.
The solution can be done two ways. One is to set up RDP Gateway on one of your servers and externally publish that address and port. The other is to externally publish EVERY address and port of each machine you want to access from the outside.
The first is easier than the second, but it still leaves a potential security risk. I wish that Xtralogic would fix the VPN issue. Even though it's a good RDP client they still don't seem to have the enterprise user in mind given this major design flaw.
I'd love to use this app but feel like I'm in over my head trying to configure it. Can this be walked thru?
Firstly, do you have a hosted server (typically configured with sshd and nginx / squid), which is accessible from the Internet?

I DL'd the SSH Tunnel app (top 10 rooted app recommendation on a random site) and was hoping someone could help me with the necessary parameters to set it up. Is that possible? If promiseofcake's question is any indicator, I'll assume SSH isnt for me?

SSH is a protocol which allows one machine to securely connect to another remote machine, and in this situation, use the remote machine's internet connection. The benefit of this is that all of the data transferred to your phone appears to be originating from this remote machine of yours, and not all of the sites and services you are in turn using, Google, Facebook, torrent services, etc. Now if this server was hosted at home, your home internet would be the one which Google, Facebook, and torrent services would see using their services. Imagine that as a baseline.
In order for the above example to work, one will need a remote machine to use as a gateway for this traffic. Therefore, unless you have a computer setup and configured properly with a semblance of a "static" connection, there will be nothing for your phone to SSH tunnel into.
I would look into paid services so you don't have to deal with the hassle of setting something like this up.
Thank you very much for clearing that up!

Yeah, I use SSHTunnel everyday, the benefit besides the fact that everything is appearing to come from the remote machine you're running SSH on is that everything is encrypted, so the carrier or wifi lan you're using can't see what you're doing either other then sending encrypted traffic to your remote machine, this can protect against droidsheep attacks and if you're using your providers 3g/4G and you tether the traffic is masked as encrypted and your provider can't really tell what you're doing, SSHTunnel IS a good program if you have an SSH shell to tunnel the traffic through.
I have problems with this app too. It connects successfully to my server but the "Individual Proxy" option does not work. I sent a mail to the author asking if iptables needs any specific options enabled (such as --uid-owner) for this to work but did not get any replies. I don't know how different the iptables on android is compared to that on desktop distributions.
I'm using CM9 and tested this the default kernel and Siyah kernel.
Greetings! For some time, I've been wanting to setup a VPN server at home so I can "dial" in from Wi-Fi hotspots out in town and secure my traffic.
My first thought was to build a VM on my desktop and leave it running 24/7.
A low-powered solution might be turning my old Android phone into a VPN server.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I have a Nexus One that is just laying around....

This is exactly what I am looking to do, but in a little different sort of way.
I want to leave my old phone hidden in the rafters connected to a wifi from a haircutting place next to where I work. Then tunnel to the old phone from my various other devices encrypting my data through their .IP. I all ready use their wifi for all my torrenting needs but think that not having to be there navigating on the phone would be nice
did u tryed app droidvpn?
It would be great to setup a vpnd on our Android. I'm looking for the same solution.
DroidVPN is a VPN client, we are looking for a VPN Server on Android.

Any Luck with the attempt? I've also been thinking of the same thing.
We just released Servers Ultimate which in the latest update allows you to turn your Android device into a VPN Server
So now you can leave an (old) android device at home and connect to it when you're on the road. Have a look here:

Here is the same. In my second apartment the internet site is not block and it wise to keep my old android phone in my second apartment and install VPN server. and installing VPN client in my home pc, office pc, and even other smartphones. In this way i will able to access all web sites. any idea how i can accomplish this.
One of idea i though would be small notebook that running windows and installing VPN server in it such as Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z/R
I turned a rooted Android phone into a VPN server by using the Linux Deploy app and UNIX tools "busy box app" then running CentOS on Linux Deploy. I installed SoftEther VPN Server on CentOS through SSH on the phone.
I wrote about it in a forum. If you google "Turn a flashed to verizon phone into vpn server" it will come up in Aspkin forum and you can see me work through it.
This way is 100% free and SoftEther will tunnel straight through a firewall using port 443 unlike any paid app so you can leave the phone hidden anywhere connected to WiFi and as long as you use SoftEther Client and the DNS host name to connect to the server. It wont work if you use a openVPN or L2TP/IPsec client without opening ports on the router of the wifi connection, or the server IP address (which would be a local ip if connected to wifi hidden somewhere).
As you all know most US (and i believe other) carriers try to charge us more for the data we already pay for if we want to use it in any method besides from our phone. There are a lot of apps that claim to get around it and it works for some and not for others, after some extensive google-fu and research i have found out that most if not all carriers use one of two methods of detecting tethering. 1.if the built in tethering is used the phone will use a separate tether specific apn 2.they look at the TTL of a packet, if tethering is being used the TTL will last past the WAN of the phone.
So i set out to try and find a way around this and a method of tethering that would work safely for all and get around TTL detection and i believe i have now found it.
Things you will need:
-Root
-ConnectBot
-ProxyDroid
-PDAnet (or any other tethering app)
-Something to SSH into
I will post more detailed instructions with screenshots and such if anyone wants but for now ill just keep it simple. Make sure your phone is on 3/4G. Open ConnectBot and connect to your ssh server, bring up the options menu and select port forwarding. Setup a dynamic (socks) proxy on port 8080 (or w/e you feel like) now open proxydroid and set host to 127.0.0.1 and make sure to enable global proxy (this does not work on all phones if it does not work for you then there is not much you can do) now open up a browser and go to any of the various ip checking sites and make sure your ip is showing up as the ssh servers ip and not a mobile one. Now enable pda net and do the same from the tethered device. If the ip is showing up as the remote servers then congratulations you are now tethering and they cant see the packets going to anything but the phone because everything is contained within the SSH session. Meaning the TTL on packets will end at the phones WAN as they expect them to.
I have been doing this on AT&T for some time now (around a month) and so far they have not found out and all is well, hope this helps at least a few people good luck!

Has anyone been able to get this working. Whenever I select "Global Proxy" in ProxyDroid, I get no data. I changed the host to 127.0.0.1, but should I leave the port to default 3128 and Proxy Type to HTTP? Is there any other changes I should make in ProxyDroid? Thanks

Make sure you set the user agent on your computer browser to mobile. Had to do tethering for a client few days ago, and that was the problem. For Firefox and Chrome there are plugins for it.
Thanks for your response....I haven't gotten to the PC as yet. I am don't get any internet connection when I enabled ProxyDroid in with Global Proxy checked. And the OP said to make sure it is selected. So this is where I am stuck. Not sure whether I need to do any other configuration in regards to ProxyDroid. But thanks for your help.

You could try downloading an AV program off of Google Play Store, but you may have to factory reset.
You are not infected, but your router is. DNS is changed, go into router settings and put manual DNS from Google

What does working for a isp company have to do with anything ?
adfoc.us is nothing more than 'bundling' malware not a virus (to be technical a redirect virus) that highjacks DNS and hosts files on windows machines also adds other malware hence it's called 'bundling'.
Its real name is adfocus.us browser hijacker, it's distributed by hook
A Hook is programmed as DLL file that it is capable to block the message of solicitation to a desirable site and achieve redirection, then a cyber criminals may use Windows Socket Layer Service Provider associated with SPI to get user’s transmitting data no matter you are using Firefox, IE or Chrome
If you have a "wide open" type of router, you shouldn't be using a computer or phone period
Been removing rootkits, virus, malware off of windows machines for many years, don't need a isp worker to tell me it's a router
Well, ISP worker tells you, from first hand experience that some Chinese routers can be manipulated regardless of web password and DNS can be changed.
That means ISP worker has seen DNS changed from our DNS to some address in Germany. And wide open router is something most users know nothing about especially regarding cwmp protocol.
And we have reports from our customers that every network device opens adfoc.us it's not really rocket science is it ? And windows is crap we get that but I'm somewhat sure my version is the correct one, especially because adfoc.us tried to install some apk file (see original post) Not sure if apk files work with windows

And I'm talking exactly about this (ZTE, and TPLINK). And you must know that almost all xDSL routers given to customers by large(r) ISPs have custom firmwares (because of ACS configurations, port mapping, etc) so the potential for unintended WAN access is huge. And the ISPs always will buy the cheapest and fastest available router, so it's not surprising at all.

I am not opposed to the idea, its not new, but, first of all, this article is just about a year old, and new firmware has been out since then, have the users switched to the new firmware, who knows, 98% of windows people are point & click, that is the biggest problem, especially using android.
Second, like I said earlier, and what the article says also, remote admin should be disabled and change the default username and password, here in the states, dsl kinda faded out 10 years ago and those routers you list aren't common here, not saying this can't happen, but, OTOH a little common sense goes a long way.
Javascript is a popular way to get infected from websites, running things as noscript, ghost, etc, should help out a lot, there is a lot you can do to prevent this stuff from happening, most people are clueless or lazy or click happy.
Another way to help is to get rid of windows (every operating system can be hacked) (flame) but others are more secure by design, or for banking needs use a live linux cd/usb stick, 99% of people won't bother or even research the idea.
I look at this as pebak, and not knowing enough of the internet or their equipment and just clicking on anything, hence the point & click.
I run a few servers, none are windows, we do have windows clients. I try my best

Hi,
Its definetely the wi-fi rooter that i have w hich is TP Link.
I called my proveder they said there is a problem with the DNS. They reset my rooter online and it was fine for couple of days.
But now same thing happens. On both my wife and mine mobile phones surfing is impossible.
It automatically swithches the link to a porn site. Same thing happens as a pop up on my PC as well.
Any solution to fix this or I should get a more expensive rooter?
Thanks a lot.

I would recommend the following:
1) Hard reset all your devices. Back up your data but then completely wipe the phone (/sdcard as well).
2) Disconnect your PCs. If you are savvy enough I would recommend running a Linux distro for a few days (so you can at least still use the computer).
3) Get a CD (not usb stick due to writableness) and download several AV tools (quick Google will yield some results). Take the PC offline (unplug ethernet/disable wifi), put the CD in, run a few scans and get it cleaned out.
4) Manually take your router and disable DHCP/DNS interally, forward your DHCP requests if you decide to keep DHCP on to a known good DNS server like 8.8.8.8.
5) Ideally, swap the router out for a new one or use your own instead of #4.
Something is causing it.
