It didn't work to me; I've followed all steps described, identified Ipv4 number of my PlayBook when connected thru USB, and used that address to create a remote folder into my lan, but Dolphin (Mageia's default file manager) failed on connecting the so called 'remote server' (identified as "smb://169.254.0.4", in my case...); neither the WiFi connection, nor using Tablet Network Name worked, again the remote server didn't reply... What did I do wrong?...
Another question: why to run bash command "ifconfig -a" ? I suppose I should use some info replied, but such detail is'nt explained in this tutorial...
