My PC is connected to LAN broad band internet. Is there any possibility to access this high speed internet on Nokia N95 through USB cable? I want to connect my Nokia N95 to PC through USB cable (Supplied in its sales package) for browsing broad band internet on N95.
I have PC Suite installed on my PC.
Please help.
Thanks
Can we access LAN internet on N95 through USB cable?
at least not without a bunch of messing about.
it would require the USB port on the PC to act as a LAN card with an IP address - and the LAN (or other connection) to have internet connection sharing (simplest XP/Vista plan) .. I don't know of any software that allows a USB port to be used in this fashion.
There is another possibility if you have a bluetooth adapter on your desktop / laptop machine. There maybe a possibility of using bluetooth PAN - LAN sharing although again I have never seen it done in this direction. Its common to see PC - bluetooth - phone - 'net .. but not phone - bluetooth - PC - Net
the simplest solution to your situation is a wifi router (these are really inexpensive these days).
Good Luck!😊
If you have a pc with internet, why would you want to browse the internet on your tiny phone screen?
Especially as your on about using it connected with a USB cable, you'd have to be very close to the pc.
Bit of a pointless thing i'd say.
A wireless router is the best way to go if you want your home internet on your phone, and not stuck to your computer with a 1 metre USB cable.
I agree that a wireless router is the way to go, but if you don't have one then using the PC proadband connection is a lot cheaper than using 3G data, if you don't have a good data plan. It would let you download N-Gage games direct to the phone, for example.
Windows Mobile devices allow this, by the way.
If your PC has a wireless card but you don't have a wireless router, you can try and change it in to a hotspot as described here.
