Hi,
First time poster and reader.
I'm trying to connect a PS3 to my brand new shiny McShine, the third generation Nokia N95.
Equipment: PS3, N95. Do not own a wireless router.
How: Presumably I need to create an access point on my N95. But the problem is that I don't know what/where the SSID is on my N95. When I program my PS3 to use its wireless functionality it requests a SSID. Hell it even scans for available wireless networks and unfortunately (and i guess this renders my first question moot) it won't even pick up the wireless access point.
The second issues is when i'm creating the access point and select Wireless as the data type it asks me what my SSID is for the network (which i don't know) and ontop of that i'm forced define my WEP or WPA key. what and how do you generate one of these keys?
The worse thing as at another forum I frequent a poster remarked all he did was turn on share content and bam it was working. Grrrr
so if anyone has any suggestions, words of wisdom, or places where a FAQ/document may exist outling this I'm all ears 😊
Thanks for your time

But you do need a wireless router. N95 is not a wireless router/access point, it just connects to one, just like PS3.
After you have a router you can use SymSmb program to view/share content from local lan. N95's in-built "share content" works only with HomeMediaServer (included in the N95's CD) installed in the PC.
You'd need to install linux on the PS3 to create some media sharing options if you wanted to view stuff from the PS3 on your phone, as the Sony XMB doesn't allow for that sort of thing. You can wire it by usb or stick your memory card in the front if you want...

But then, of course, you can't access the stuff on the PS3 partition as the PS3 keeps the linux and XMB drive partitions completely locked and separate so they are not even aware of each other.

Nope 😊 I connect my n95 to my PS3 without Linux :icon14:
EDIT: sorry, I'm viewing my phone on the PS3, not the other way round.......

Cool but I presume your doing that via USB.
Just to clarify. Yes I'm aware that you can connect the N95 to the PS3 via USB and it'll act like a standard mass storage device. No problemo there.
But what I would love to do, without forking out for a wireless router, is to connect the N95 via WLAN to the PS3.
What peeves me is that the PS3 and PSP can do this easily. No mucking about, there is an option in the XMB to mate the PSP via WiFi to the PS3.
So without using that mechanism in the XMB that mates the PSP to the PS3 does anyone else know how to do it.
Do I create a Access Point on the N95. Is there anyway to know the SSID of the access point I've created?
The problem is, as ph7 said, the N95 is not an access point and nor is the PS3. The communication between PS3 and PSP is possible as both have proprietary software for it built in to the firmware by Sony
