Keep any passcodes secret and in a safe place separate
from the devices.
To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN Internet
access point in your device, see ‘Access points’, p. 122.
If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home
network with a compatible device, enable one of the
encryption methods in WLAN security mode when you
configure the Internet access point. This step reduces the
risk of an unwanted party joining the ad hoc network.
Your device notifies you if another device attempts to
connect to it and the home network. Do not accept
connection requests from an unknown device.
If you use wireless LAN in a network that does not have
encryption, switch off sharing Nokia N95 files with other
devices, or do not share any private media files. To change
sharing settings, see ‘Home network settings’, p. 67.
Home network settings
To share media files saved in Gallery with other compatible
UPnP devices through wireless LAN, you must create and
configure your wireless LAN home Internet access point,
then configure the Home netw. application. See ‘Wireless
LAN’, p. 25 and the wireless LAN settings in ‘Access points’,
p. 122.
The options related to Home netw. are not available in
Gallery before the Home netw. settings have been
configured.
When you access the home network application for the
first time, the setup wizard opens, and helps you to define
the home network settings for your device. To use the
setup wizard later, in the home network main view, select
Options > Run wizard, and follow the instructions on the
display.
To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on the
PC, you must install the related software from the
CD-ROM supplied with your device.
Configure settings
To configure the home network application, select Tools >
Home netw. > Settings and from the following:
Home access point—Select Always ask if you want the
device to ask for the home access point every time you
connect to the home network, Create new to define a new
access point that is used automatically when you use
Home netw., or None. If your home network does not
have wireless LAN security settings enabled, you get a
security warning. You can continue, and switch the
wireless LAN security on later; or cancel defining the
access point, and first switch on the wireless LAN security.
