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 activated on your

device, and the other device is UPnP compatible.

Q: What can I do if my home network connection

stops working?

A: Close the wireless LAN (WLAN) connection from your

compatible PC and your device, and open it 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.

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 access point for the network on your

Nokia device

Q: How do I switch wireless LAN (WLAN) off on

my Nokia device?

A: The WLAN on your Nokia device turns off when you

are not connected or trying to connect to another

access point, or not scanning for available networks.

To further reduce battery consumption, you can specify

that your Nokia device does not scan, or scans less

often, for available networks in the background. The

WLAN turns off between background scans.
To change the background scan settings, do the

following:
