10 meters (33 feet) and that there are no walls or other
obstructions between the devices.

this does not help, restart your compatible PC and your
device. If the connection still does not work, reconfigure
the WLAN settings in both your compatible PC and device.
See ‘Wireless LAN’, p. 26, and ‘Connection’, p. 127.

Q: Why can't I see my compatible PC in my device in the home

network?

A: If you are using a firewall application in your compatible

PC, check that it allows Home media server to use the
external connection (you can add Home media server to
the firewall applications exceptions list). Check from the
firewall settings that the firewall application allows traffic
to the following ports: 1900, 49152, 49153 and 49154.
Some WLAN access point devices have a built-in firewall.
In such cases, check that the firewall in the access point
device does not block traffic to the following ports: 1900,
49152, 49153 and 49154.
Check that the WLAN settings are the same in your device
and compatible PC.

Memory low

Q: What can I do if my device memory is low?

PC connectivity

Q: Why do I have problems in connecting the device to my PC?

A: Make sure that Nokia Nseries PC Suite is installed and

running on your PC. See the user guide for Nokia Nseries
PC Suite on the CD-ROM

pages at www.nokia.com.

Q: Can I use my device as a fax modem with a compatible PC?

A: You cannot use your device as a fax modem. However, with

call diverting (network service), you can divert incoming
fax calls to another phone number.

Wireless LAN

Q: Why can't I see a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point even

though I know I'm within its range?

A: The WLAN access point may use a hidden service set

identifier (SSID). You can only access networks that use a
hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID, and have created
a WLAN Internet access point for the network on your
Nokia device.

Q: How do I switch wireless LAN (WLAN) off on my Nokia

device?

A: The WLAN on your Nokia device will switch off when you

are not trying to connect, or are not connected to another
access point, or scanning for available networks. To further
reduce battery consumption, you can specify that your
Nokia device does not scan, or scans less often, for
available networks in the background. WLAN will switch
off in between background scans.
