Hi there.

Yesterday I purchased a N95 8GB and I just love it!!
There is just something I cant figure out with the wifi-network. How can I access the pictures folder on the mobile from my pc. Reverse its no problem at all. I mean I can access the folders on my pc from the mobile.

Thanks for your help.
Greetings Mike

you have to use something like WMP11 to share the images folder

Well, I can see the mobile in my network but when I try to access it i can just browse the mediafolders on the pc. What I want to do is to download the pictures I have taken with the camera without phsically connecting the device to the pc. Is that possible anyway?

If you don't want to physically connect to the PC you could use Bluetooth and download via PC suite OR...

I use SymSMB... it is designed to allow exactly what you want... it connects the N95 to your PC on the same network as a shared drive... from the PC it is just a shared drive and any shared drives on the PC are then accessable from the N95.

Works a treat!

Can't you just use a Bluetooth connection to the PC and then use PC Suite's Image Store? No wires needed etc.

Of course, you are right. I just forgot to mention that my PC dont has a Bluetooth connection. My bad. Sorry about that.

By the way, that App. is just great.
