Connect N95 to Internet Through PC via WiFi

POSTED BY Jack on Mar 31 under N95 Usage

Let me explain the title first. Sometimes your PC or laptop has wired internet connection but there is no wireless (WiFi) around to allow your N95 connect to the net. What you’d like is to connect N95 to the net using the build-in WiFi through the WiFi capable PC/laptop. In another word, make the Laptop/PC a wireless hotspot, sort of reversed way of connection as I wrote about using N95 as wireless hotspot.

If you do understand what I mean and have such need (I do), here is how you do it.

Dotsisx at Symbian Guru gave a very detail steps on this topic. According to Dotsisx, there are basically two steps if you are using Windows XP:

Enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

Create protected wireless network shared through the ICS

That’s it.

    Hi guys, nice post and nice blog by the way, I’m a novice owner of an N95, I just followed the steps detailed here and works perfect, but I’d like to know if there’s a linux setup to achieve the same.
    I googled it but with no results :(

    Thanks and keep up the good worK!

    I have set the netwoek on the pc, but the N95 doesn’t “see” it… Did i miss something? do I have to do something on the phone?
