Q: Why can’t the other device see the files

stored on my device in the home network?

A: Make sure that you have configured the home

network settings, content sharing is turned on in

your device, and the other device is UPnP

compatible.

Q: What can I do if my home network

connection stops working?

A: Switch off the wireless LAN (WLAN) connection

from your compatible PC and your device, and

switch it on again. If this does not help, restart your

compatible PC and your device. If the connection

still does not work, reconfigure the WLAN settings

in both your compatible PC and device.

See

"Wireless LAN", p. 34.

See "Connection

settings", p. 156.

Q: Why can't I see my compatible PC in my

device in the home network?

A: If you are using a firewall application in your

compatible PC, check that it allows home media

server to use the external connection (you can add

Home media server to the firewall application's

exceptions list). Check from the firewall settings

that the firewall application allows traffic to the

following ports: 1900, 49152, 49153, and 49154.

Some WLAN access point devices have a built-in

firewall. In such cases, check that the firewall in the

access point device does not block traffic to the

following ports: 1900, 49152, 49153, and 49154.

Check that the WLAN settings are the same in your

device and compatible PC.

Q: Why can't I see a wireless LAN (WLAN)

access point even though I know I'm within

its range?

A: The WLAN access point may use a hidden service

set identifier (SSID). You can only access networks

that use a hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID,

and have created a WLAN Internet access point for

the network on your Nokia device.

a back-up copy of all data to a compatible computer;

send images to your e-mail address, then save the
