can i use the N95 as a wifi access point for my pc?

thats a good question mate!

with my limited networking knowledge i would say no,
afaik, the N95 doesn't have the internals to transmit wifi access like a router would, also it would be required to act differently, it currently acts as a client and not a server (where server = router)

....thats a guess though, so someone with more of an idea might shoot me down

cheers for the swift reply!

ummm, maybe i should have explained better lol. i mean can the phone act like a wireless reciever for the PC, instead of using a WiFi card.

maybe that sounds better lol

in that case it might be possible (bit of an expensive alternative to a PCI / USB card but hey). I think the Nokia connect software will only use the GPRS / 3G / 3.5G connections when a PC connected to it but might be worth connecting to a WLAN before trying the client and see how it works.

as an access point - I doubt the N95 has the TX power to work well as an access point

For PC Suite Connect tool, it uses the Modem profile of Bluetooth/USB connection. If you connected your PC using it to the Internet through your smartphone, the phone opens a connection named Modem. Try to establish Internet connection using any app like Web, the phone opens a normal backet data/UMTS connection concurrently with Modem connection still working. Vise versa is true. If you open a connection using the phone first (packet data of WLAN), then try to use PC Suite to connect PC, PC Suite will establish its own connection regardless of what connection is already established in the phone.

I think that we need to contact Nokia for such issue.
