Q: Why can’t the other device see the files stored on

my device in the home network?

A: Make sure that you have configured the home network

settings, content sharing is turned on in your device, and

the other device is UPnP compatible.

Q: What can I do if my home network connection stops

working?

A: Switch off the wireless LAN (WLAN) connection from

your compatible PC and your device, and switch it on

again. If 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.

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 application's 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.

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 switches off when you

are not connected or trying to connect to another access

point, or not 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 switches off

in between background scans.

To change the background scan settings:
1 Select

Menu

>

Tools

>

Settings

and

Connection

>

Wireless LAN

.

2 To increase the background scan time interval, adjust

the time in

Scan for networks

. To stop background

scans, select

Show WLAN availability

>

Never

.

3 To save your changes, press

Back

.

When

Show WLAN availability

is set to

Never

, the

WLAN availability icon is not shown in the standby

mode. However, you can still manually scan for

available WLAN networks, and connect to WLAN

networks as usual.
