I have N80 and i know how to use it to surf the net using WLan
but i have a problem in sharing the files and media between my cell and my PC
any help about home network and how to set it up in both cell and PC would be appreciated and thanx in advance .....😃 😃 😃 ::con? :con? :con?

u can buy a UpNp addaptor for ur music system, phillips make 1, i was gonna get 1 but cudnt afford it at the time.

thx guys ,what about home media server software it is free from nokia simple centre site it talks about sharing files between N80 and PC so whats the UPNP adapter for does it mean have WLAN on our PC or what please more specifications ,i heard about sharing via WLan just like Blutooth using home network .
thank you biggzy
LOVher 🙄 🙄

All of that are different frequences... Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and UpNp. So the adaptor for UpNp must be specific, like the USB sticks for bluetooth.

as long as the wifi adaptor uses b/g it will work, the wifi audio adaptor plugs into music system then u stream music to it from n80

Right the way the Nokia Media Server works is that it allows you to stream your media FROM you phone TO your PC. It also allows you to display media that is stored on you PC via remote control. It will not allow you to show media that is stored on your PC on your Phone however you can copy media from your PC to you Phone to be shown there later. If you wish to stream media from your PC to your Phone then you need ORB which is also free and available from www.orb.com

I'm considering building a VMWare virtual machine based on linux with the Twonky Vision media server so that you can easily deploy a box on any old machine and have an instant remote control Hi-Fi/Video Player...

elaverick have u seen the wifi upnp audio adaptors? was thinkin bout geting 1 so i can stream music from n80 to sony hi-fi system, wud it still need to go thru the router or wud n80 connect directly to the adaptor thats connected to my hi-fi? thanx

I cant get orb to work i can view all my files on my phone i goto play a mp3 it opens up realplayer that i have connecting to my wifi and it just says disconnected what am i doing wrong?

Biggzy: Yes I've seen them. I had considered getting one but figure with the spare PC's I have lying around it would be cheaper to build my own.
You should be able to use the audio adaptor without the need for a router provided it supports Ad-Hoc connections, almost all WiFi devices do, but it's worth checking to make sure.
The Phillips Streamium looks good btw and that does support Ad-Hoc connections.

Brierley: I had been having problems with Orb since I upgraded my firmware. To fix it, set your streaming type to 3GP in Orb and in RealPlayer make sure its set to use the right connection type (for me that's my WLAN connection). It should work fine from there

it still will not work realplayer just disconnects i set it to what you said and i have realplayer to connect to my wifi whats gone wrong?

thanx 4 the info and that phillips audio addaptor is the 1 i had my eye on, its 100 quid but im sure it wud b cheaper, also how do u conect via ad-hoc mode? thanx

The Phillips manual should have details of how to set the Streamium up for ad-hoc mode. The N80 can be set for ad-hoc mode in the wireless LAN settings. More details can be found on page 96 of the standard N80 manual.

Well you might like to double check the Orb settings, I've had mine ping back to previous settings without explaination. The other thing to check if you're not using a UPNP router is that you have the right ports open. If possible open a range of UDP ports from 6970-32000. See if that helps
