Last time I needed to transfer files between a laptop and my 9500, it
was straightforward. I can't remember all we did, but the basics were to
create and ad-hoc 'Internet settings' account with an IP address to
match the laptop 10.0.0.1 for the laptop, 10.0.0.2 for the 9500. Netmask
255.255.255.0 for both. No default route, no DNS.
Then run Apache or similar on the laptop and browse to it with the 9500.
File upload if you want it. Voila!

Thanks a million - haven't tried it, but d/l'ed apache and will give
it a try. It sounds like it just might be foolproof.
