Hi - I have succesfully setup a connection with my PC on the N95. However, although I can see my music and pictures everytime I go to open a picture the only option I have is VIEW VIA HOME NETWORK and then it says NO DEVICES. Am I doing something wrong? The only option I seem to have is to copy the image/music file to my phone.
Viewing files on N95 via home network
The 'View via Home Network' option is used to send gallery files to a UPnP device - these are things like media centres, which isn't quite what you want I think? It sounds like you've connected the N95 to a PC and now want to transfer files from the phone to the PC. Is that right?

Thanks for responding. Actually it's the other way round. If i'm downstairs for instance I want to be able to view my pictures on my N95 from my PC on the home network instead of having to save them to the phone each time
Right, got it.. the best way to do that is SymSMB, I think; it should be available at http://www.telexy.com/ but that doesn't seem to be working right now, so try:
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/software/item/SymSMB.php
This lets your phone connect to your home network and see shared folders on other computers. I've not used it myself so I'm not totally sure if it will do what you want, but there's a free trial, so it might be worth a try.
SymSMB doesn't allow you to preview a file on a remote computer, so you're stuck in the same boat, I'm afraid..
Look for Orb 2.0 its free. Create a login/pass setup what you need then have it running in the background, Then log onto web using your phone. Go to orb.com and you will see your homepage, you click on file browser and you can search through your files n look at piccys stream video. Even while away from your wifi you can log on 3g and do the same, Cool
