'Latitude E6430' is shipped with multiple wireless cards. Please share the details of the wireless adapter installed in the unit; need to verify if the card is tested to work with 'Wifi Direct' technology. If any confusion, you may open 'Device Manager' and expand 'Network Adapters' category to capture exact details of the network cards installed in the unit. (A screen shot of that section will be useful).
It is important to establish connectivity between the two compatible devices, before sharing the data between them. Please follow the steps listed below:
1. Connect your device to another device - In the application list, select 'Settings' > 'More settings' > 'Wi-Fi Direct' > Drag the 'Wi-Fi Direct switch' to the right (as in image below) > Select 'Scan' (your laptop should be detected as it is a 'Wi-fi Direct capable unit' > Select it and send a connection request > Accept the connection from your computer > The devices are likely to get connected. You may also refer to the image below:
2. Sharing Information with a Connected Device (from the mobile phone) To share Videos, Photos, or other information with the connected device, use this procedure:
- Display the information to share; For example, to share a photo, locate the photo and display it in the camera viewer, then tap the Share, Share via, or Send via option - Tap the 'Wi-Fi Direct' option > Tap the connected device name > Tap OK when the other device receives a prompt to receive information > The file transfers and the device displays a screen notification that a Wi-Fi file was received
