Using ES File Explorer with wifi

I am using ES File Explorer to connect my Galaxy S2 to our network server at work. It works perfectly if I am at work and on wifi. If I disconnect the wifi and try to go through cellular data, it cannot connect to the server. I get the message that 1. WLAN is off. 2. SMB server out of network scope. Etc....

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yup, unless you're in the same network or your work server has a public IP address, there's no way to acess it. I'm not sure but I believe ES only works within the same network, I don't think you can specify server IP's...
