media files from Gallery. See "View and share media files", on page 59.

Important: Always enable one of the available encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of unauthorised access to your data.

Your device is connected to the home network only if you accept a connection request from another compatible device, or in Gallery, select the option to view, play, print, or copy media files on your Nokia N95 or search for other devices in the Home network folder.

Important security information

When you configure your wireless LAN home network, enable an encryption method on your access point device, then on the other devices you intend to connect to your home network. Refer to the documentation of the devices. Keep any passcodes secret and in a safe place separate from the devices.

To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN Internet access point in your device, see "Access points", on page 107.

If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home network with a compatible device, enable one of the encryption methods in WLAN security mode when you

configure the Internet access point. This step reduces the risk of an unwanted party joining the ad hoc network.

Your device notifies you if another device attempts to connect to it and the home network. Do not accept connection requests from an unknown device.

If you use wireless LAN in a network that does not have encryption, switch off sharing Nokia N95 files with other devices, or do not share any private media files. To change sharing settings, see "Home network settings", on page 58.

Home network settings

To share media files saved in Gallery with other compatible UPnP devices through wireless LAN, you must create and configure your wireless LAN home Internet access point, then configure the Home netw. application. See "Wireless LAN", on page 16 and the wireless LAN settings in "Access points", on page 107.

The options related to Home netw. are not available in Gallery before the Home netw. settings have been configured.

When you access the home network application for the first time, the setup wizard opens, and helps you to define the home network settings for your device. To use the setup wizard later, in the home network main view, select Options > Run wizard, and follow the instructions on the display.
