Hi
I' d like to play musicfiles, photos etc on my N80 without saving it on the phone. I DON'T mean a service for witch you have to create a useraccunt and than you can acces your pc from everywhere. i just want to use my computers harddrive as a kind of networkdrive or server wich my phone can access and brows when the computer is on and connectet to the wlan. i just want to acces the files when i'm at home over the local wireless network? you undersand?
I'know this is possible with the nokia homemedia server but with this tool you can't just play the files, you allways have to save it first on your mobile.
greets, heleon

i'know this service but this IS one of those for wich you have to create an account and so on... and you acces youre files via a website of the serviceprovider on wich you have to login. i just want to acces my files without anyones service. like ftp or something like that. and JUST inside my lan and Just when my computer is on. as you can do it with another pc that is connected to the lan and owns the reading/writing rights.
