Yes, I am as secure as I know how to be but continue to be careful, so maybe I
won't use WiFi in this way. Trouble is, I never got bluetooth set up properly
on this desktop of mine and my laptop doesn't have a card since, somehow, I
didn't seem to purchase one with it (though I thought I probably had). I just
don't want to keep plugging in cables but perhaps it's still the best way.

: Carol,
:
: Yes, to view your phone as if it were a computer on the network
: you'll need software, be very careful doing this though, as you're
: opening your handset to access, there are so many dangers with this
: if you're not mindful of security.
:
: I don't do this I simply plug in my phone or use blue tooth, that way
: I feel more secure.

: Thanks so much. That is all good information. Now, just a couple
: more questions: Do I need to "home network" the computers and phone
: to talk together, or will this just become possible after the steps
: you've outlined? (This just seems as though it will give me access
: to WiFi so that I can get my email freely etc; but what if I want to
: look at my phone's drive using the computers, as James was
: suggesting? Do I need to use the software he mentioned a couple of
: days back in order to do this?
:
: Sorry about all the questions but I like to ensure I know where I'm
: heading before I start, if I can ...

:
: use the following settings:
:
: connection name - of your choice, this is what your phone will refer
: to it as, you could call it home WiFi,
:
: data bearer should be wireless LAN

: appearing here which belong to your neighbours etc.
:
: network status - public

: WLAN network mode - infrastructure
:
: WLAN security mode - WPA (note if you're using WEP you must select
: that)

:
: Neil,
:
: I'm also looking for these answers.
:
: We both have Nokia N95's. I too already have a home network set up
: with WPA access.
:
: I am wondering whether I have to use the "Add" wizard and whether
: again I have to run NET.EXE on both computers, or if there's another
: way to do this.
:
: Thanks for any info.
:
: Eleanor, I hope I haven't muddied the waters for you now and that
: we'll both get the information we need.
:
: Thanks.
