Hi

I have not tried it yet, but the link below may help you.

It turns your phone into a Wi Fi hotspot, then you conect to it via wifi.

It may be what you need.

Re: 02 N95 Laptop Internet!

Your contract might only entitle you to use the internet on the phone itself - not use it as a modem. And they may be using some sort of filtering/checking to block out access through laptops.

I use the N95 as a USB modem (on T-Mobile) with my laptop and have not encountered any such problems. Been straight onto web pages as well as if I was on a broadband connection.

If the above is not the case, I can highly recommend JoikuSpot (linked in the post above) to avoid the hassle of bluetooth connections (not the most reliable) or usb cables and still get internet through a phone to your laptop.

Re: 02 N95 Laptop Internet!

Thanks for the help, but im a little confused, the phone already has wifi on it and so does my laptop, would that application still be of any use to me? and would that mean i have to be in a wifi zone to use the internet? Thanks, Aaron
