Hi guys, I know it's not really PC related, but I know the people here are the best when it comes to help.
I plan to buy Nokia 5800XM soon and I have a question about wi-fi connectivity.
I use wireless internet at home, I have an outdoor antenna which is connected to a D-Link AP to which I connect my PC via LAN cable and I connect to internet from my PC using a PPPoE connection with username and password given by the provider...
now, the network is filtrated by MAC addresses but I turned DHCP on my AP and I can use it to connect via laptop, also using a broadband PPPoE connection...
I tried my friend's N95 and I could not connect it to internet, it connects to AP but there is no internet...
Is there a way to set up such a connection on the phone or I have to buy a wi-fi card for my PC and create my own wi-fi network and use that to go online with the phone?
It would be great if the phone could connect directly to their AP's since I would be able to use internet wherever I go...
I hope that the point of the question is clear and you will give me a good answer before I do the shopping...
thanks
