E71 + Ovi Suite: internet connection through the P...

Hi.
I'm having trouble finding an answer to the following question, because everyone seems to want the opposite.
How do I let my E71, connected with a data cable to a Win XP SP2 PC, use the PC's internet (LAN) connection to reach internet?
Background: I do not have/want a data subscription. Most of the time I'm either at home where I have Wifi, or at the office where we have a 1 Gbps internet connection, but no WiFi. I'd like to use the office's connection, e.g. to download content and software ugrades.
I believe this used to work flawlessly with PC Suite, and the OS on the PC hasn't changed since, so it must be something in Ovi Suite that's in the way...
Any ideas? Cheers.

I can answer you partially:
1.I think y can use phone as a modem to connect to the internet.
Make sure y have latest pc suit.
When yr phone connected via usb cable ,open yr pc suit and select connect.
Under connect you should first go to settings and select yr network provider listed on it.
If yr N P is listed there y can be able to to connect to internet usin' yr phone as a modem.
But it cuts bill too much.

Updating firmware when I can't get an internet connection through the router

I am trying to update the firmware for WRT54G V8, but some of the instructions indicate I need to have the router connected and be connected to the internet. I cannot get an internet connection through the router. Can I upgrade firmware without being connected to the internet through the router. (I have had this router for about a year and a half with no problems until now.)

Yes, you can upgrade the firmware without an Internet connection.
To upgrade the firmware, first download the new firmware into a computer that you can wire to your router.
Next, power down your entire network.
Then wire the computer to a LAN port on the router.
Disconnect all other wires from the router.
Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
Power up your computer.
Login to the router, and do the firmware upgrade (it will likely take several minutes).
Power down your entire network.
Next you need to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is likely dead. Report back with this problem
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. Report back with this problem.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Ovi suite always connects thru the mobile, not dir...

I am trying to update the software in my n8-00 to fix a connection problem. (so, I can't connect to internet at this stage thru my mobile) I installed the ovi suite and tried to update it (as mentioned in nokia site as an alternative to updating the nokia software using mobile phone itself) . Ovi suite doesn't connect to internet if the mobile is not connected. when the mobile is connected, it alsways connects thru the mobile. I want to update the ovi suite via the internet connection I already have in my laptop, which is thru the wireless lan. Can some body help me?

If what you mean by 'fix a connection problem' is related to the internet on your mobile..call your operator and request them to send Aceess Points settings.. First delete all the existing Access points from the phone... and when the settings are received ( normally thru' SMS).. open the message and select 'SAVE'... Now see if your connection problem is resolved or not..( without any software update...)
If not then again delete all the Access Points.. Now try the Software update thru' OVI suite.. Since the settings are deleted.. OVI Suite should use the Internet from the Laptop... Once done.. again open the SMS and select 'SAVE' to set the Access Points...

Problem related to ovi suite internet connection

There is a poblem with ovi suite not geting connected to internet in proxy enabled areas..
so it would b better if proxy settings can be done in ovi suite and also the speed of ovi suite is very slow...............

Well, ask who then. Download the latest version of Nokia PCSuite, install next to OVI Suite.

not 100% fix, but I find it works on first connection upon launching the intial Ovi suite, and then if I disconnect I get the same error.
Closing/re-opening the Suite sometimes fixes it.
OR another temporarary fix would be to actually connect for a few seconds to the internet (effectively using the N8 as a modem) and then stop the modem (ie, still USB connected).. it seems to fix it occasionally.

Hi kajo1190,
Could you please tell what phone model you are using?
What is the operating system you are using?
What phone model you have?
How do you connect to internet, using Modem or DSL or proxy network?
If you are behind proxy network please check the internet explorer settings, If you are able to browse using those proxy network settings, then your Nokia Suite should also connect to internet without any problems.
You could also send us your error report, along with the log files from your PC using this link http://tiny.cc/ja40z , The instructions for getting the log files will appear when you choose option 12 b) in this link.
Thanks,
Best regards,

Loss of Internet connection through TC after sleep.

I have a Netgear ADSL Wireless modem which is connected to a TC in bridge mode.
So here is what happens, I am connected wirelessly to the TC and can access the internet no problem. I then put the MacBook Pro to sleep, then on waking the MacBook I have no internet connection. But if I select the wireless network of the Netgear I do have an internet connection. The MacBook then at some point reverts back to the TC wireless network and all works OK. I think it reverts back to the TC network after a sleep period.
It does not do this every time but it does it enough to have become annoying.
I presume that on those occasions that I have no internet connection through the TC that this is because the TC is otherwise occupied?
Is there a way to cure this problem?
Phil

Hi Larry,
If you go to Control Panel -> Network Connections (For Vista and Windows 7: Network and Sharing Center) -> Double click on your Network Adaptor (Vista and 7: Top left hand corner of the Network and Sharing Center, click on 'Change Adaptor Settings' and double click on your adaptor. Click Properties and scroll down to 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4), click Properties and make sure that 'Obtain an IP Address automatically' and Obtain DNS server address automatically' are ticked. Click Ok, then OK, then finally close. Check to see if you have connectivity. If you don't, go to start, in Run (Or in the search bar) type 'cmd'. Once Command Prompt opens, type 'ipconfig /flushdns'. Close Command Prompt and check again. If you still don't have Internet connectivity, go to Internet explorer and click Tools -> Internet Options (If you have Internet Explorer 7 or 8, press Alt before looking for tools. This will make the bar appear). Go to the Connections Tab and click on 'Lan Settings'. Make sure that you do not have 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' ticked. Also make sure that you have 'Automatically Detect Settings' ticked. Once you have done this, click Ok, Apply and Ok and check again for connectivity. If this didn't resolve your problem please post back
Sorry for the long answer
Cheers

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi. It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection. One question is how to delete some of the networks that I don't use. Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
Thanks.

Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
It shouldn't but sometimes deleting the list of networks actually does solve the problem you are describing. Have you turned WiFi off and then back on on the computer?

I have a MacBook Pro and all of a sudden I cannot get wireless internet connectivity to my router or any other router, I get connectivity through the ethernet port but not wireless. This was working well till this morning

What do you mean it did not work! What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?
Have you changed your router channel? Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

You can share your "cellular data" with the computer and other devices through "personal hotspot". You may use USB cable, Bluetooth or Wifi for sharing.
Reverse tethering (sharing internet connection of your computer with iPhone) is not supported.
Call your carrier and activate the cellular data/3G plan on your package. Note that "personal hotspot/internet tethering" is operator dependent feature. Confirm with your carrier or go through this article to see if your carrier is listed and offers this service.

My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem?

My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem? Is the ethernet route less efficent that going throught the internet connection? If I don't need the westel modem; how do I make the dsl conection to the pone port in the wall? Thanks for help on this!

Ok, so are you saying that your Internet is or isn't working? Does it work if you plug your computer directly into your computer and bypass the router (make sure you power cycle the modem when you do this)? If it is working this way, then a new modem isn't going to solve a problem with your Internet not working. If it is going slow (try running a speedtest) then you need to call your phone company to have them take a look at why your Internet is slow. If it runs fine this way and then slows back down when you go back through your router there is something else going on. Try unplugging both the modem and the router, let the modem fully sign back in and connect to the Internet, after it gets signed in, plug your router in, and then after it boots up fully, try running the speedtest again...See if that helps any? Sometimes it's just an IP conflict that happens when the dynamic IP that is assigned by your Internet Service Provider changes and the change doesn't flow smoothly.

I have a PC with a internet connection through a modem and ever since i have had it i have had no connection to the itunes store. And even if I try to update anything it says that i need to check my connection, but my connection is fine. What should I do?

This almost always indicates your firewall or anti-virus utilities are preventing iTunes from contacting the iTunes Store. Here is an exerpt from "Can't connect to the iTunes Store": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshooting on Windows
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day —and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues— a software or internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store.

Update iTunes to the latest version.
If you have not done so already, try the steps in iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshootingto troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
Firewall issues:
Windows XP: If you've upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2: By default, Windows Firewall is enabled.

If the issue still persists, contact your internet service provider and confirm that the ports and servers in this article are enabled over your network.
The "hosts" file may be blocking the iTunes Store
Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a "FixIt" to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.

network connection error
nokia ovi suite software update service is not responding make sure the internet connection is working o check your firewall settings and try again later
network connection error
"nokia ovi suite software update service is not responding make sure the internet connection is working or check your firewall settings and try again later"
My connection works just fine and I disabled the firewall and antivirus, so I don't know what's happening.
I have a N86 8MP and even though I know I cannot get a nex firmware I just want to reinstall the firmware but it's impossible to do it.
One last question, is it posssible to make a downgrade of the phone's firmware?

OVI Suite not connecting to map server - NOT SOLVE...

Because this /t5/Nokia-Ovi-Suite/OVI-Suite-not-connecting-to-map-server/td-p/708275 discussion has been marked as solved and it's not. I wonder when we'll have any feedback from Nokia Support? It must be the new Nokia Ovi Suite causing the problem because we all have the same problems. I have tried on three different computers with good stable internet connections and get the "connection timed out" error on all of them. Using Nokia 5230 and have tried both on XP and Vista.

@mokrypes
This seems to be working now. I tried today to download US maps and it completed and installed without any issues. Guess there was some problem with the map server.
