Nokia N95

pseudofinn · #1 02-19-2007, 05:45 PM

I was wondering if anyone might have any idea if we'll be able to connect to the Wifi on the N95 with other devices... such as connecting a PSP or a PDA to the N95 via wifi and browse the net on the connected device using the cellphone's internet connection?

Any speculations/knowledge of such a feat?

There are a lot of previews out there... maybe someone had heard something that I hadn't.

The fella who posted after you had some info I did not.

At any rate, this is very good news.

HI i have wanted to surf the net from my pc using the wifi connection on the n95.
I havent found it possible using the PC suite's Connect to Internet option.
That option only connects to the network providers internet connection.
But i guess there should be a way out there to tweak some settings and gain access to the wifi connection on the n95.
Any one gaining info on this please let me know.

PSP has WiFi AFAIK so that's pointless.

But if you had a PDA with bluetooth and no WiFi then I think it would be possible using the same method as you would use to connect a laptop via 3G or GPRS.

The WiFi access point is defined alongside the mobile data account(s), just set the WiFi AP as the default AP for the modem.

<sigh>

Homer- It's not pointless- you're just completely missing the point. I want to connect my PSP to the N95 via WiFi, and use the N95's data connection. Does that make sense? I want to browse the Internet on my PSP, or stream video/audio over the Internet when I'm not at a Hotspot. You know?

This situation would be no problem if the PSP had included bluetooth- which I have NO idea as to why it did not. Bluetooth controllers... headsets... connection to the Internet through a cellphone.... GPS... really silly IMO that the PSP doesn't have bluetooth.

At any rate, I'm not even sure what you thought I was trying to accomplish... whatever it was, I'm sure it did seem pointless, I'm just not sure why you would assume that I'm trying to do something pointless, instead of the very valid task I've presented. Perhaps I wasn't clear in my original post.

I want to use my data connection, Cingular's MediaNet, on my PSP.

Hmmm... unless your comments are directed at the guy that has kinda hijacked this thread, I'm not sure how I can clarify my goal anymore than I already have.

For the purposes of this discussion, let's forget all about bluetooth- let's forget about PCs, laptops and PDAs... anything running windows software. I assume what is needed is for the N95 to operate as a router for it to share the data connection with any ad-hoc wifi connection to a device that does not have any internet connection sharing software, such as the Sony PSP.

Although it's not "pointless", I assume it's impossible.
