HELP please with Nokia N80

[Silent_Bob]

Hey guys and girls

I just got a N80 and I cant get the wireless internet sharing to work.

Okay, heres my setup

My PC is connected to my home lan, and I have a wireless card on my pc.
I have a wireless AP.
I connect to my 56k account off my pc.

Now what i want is my 56k account to be shared to my N80 so i can access the net using my wireless lan on the phone

Any help please!

Is your dialup set as shared? Is the PC with the modem using 192.168.0.1 as the IP?

If your phone cant connect to the wlan, check the wlan encryption. If you're using WPA2, change it to WPA. I've had to set mine to WPA as well as I read about a few people having connection problems.

yay i have gotten it to work. i tried and tried, and eventually got gatvol of it. I set my access point to do a full reset, then reinstalled my wlan drivers. Connected them all up using no encription, shared the connection, and it works! problem now is the n80 wlan power is not the greatest so i gonna have to move my access point to a more centered place in my house.

On another great note, browsing off my n80 is working perfectly. I am loving this phone!

Hey hey hey. This is my first post off my n80. I can perfectly browse the myadsl website and forum off the phones web browser. Tops to nokia, this program is brilliant! I definitly recommend this phone to everyone. Best deal cellular has a great special at the moment. A nokia n80 for a total of 144 a month.

Get opera mini, uses far less data than the default browser.

I have opera mini. I use that when using gprs. I use the nokia web browser when connecting through wireless lan

I got my N80 with my cellc upgrade as well. R144/month. Just dont forget to disconnect from the wlan when you're done. After charging the phone for 16hrs and forgetting to disconnect from the wlan, I had to recharge the next day as the battery was on 1 bar and dying.

I take it you're reapplied the encryption?

 

[Silent_Bob]

i am over encryption, at home i live in a valley and my house is rather big so the signal dies easily hehe

how do you turn the blue flashy light on the cover of the N80 off?

 

[JayT]

turn off standby mode in the phone settings

Edit: This should be Sleep Mode

 

[simple_simon]

turn off standby mode in the phone settings

what does standby do anyway....isn't it there to conserve power when you are not using the phone. if i turn it off, what will my battery life be like?

spanks for the help anyway

Correction to my previous post.

Turn off Sleep Mode: Tools->Settings->Phone->Display->Sleep mode

Correction to my previous post.

Turn off Sleep Mode: Tools->Settings->Phone->Display->Sleep mode

now wouldn't this definitely affect battery power.

thats what i do, but there is always that little bit of sneaky blue light that catches your eye sometimes.

in a dark room it is quite a serious flash
