Many thanks! Fixed it for me I guess there is a problem with the DHCP client when using WPAx?

Nokia E51 WLAN transfer rates

Hello,
I have e51 phone, I was trying to connect to the university Wireless, but E51 couldn't connect.
I try it with E65 and its working..
I asked the IT and they told to make sure from the Nokia E51 WLAN transfer rates..
Because if it was 1 or 2 MB it won't work.
is there anyone has an idea about it???

E51 WLAN - File sharing with another PC on home WL...

Hi,
I have recently bought E51 and had no trouble setting up the WLAN accesspoint and browse the net / check emails / download software. All works very well.
The tutorial on phone suggest that one can share files etc. between the phone and another PC on WLAN. I have tried to do that but somehow I am not able to get this right.
Has anyone done this? If yes, I will appreciate details on how to go about it.
Thanks

I've been able to find this software which apparently allows one to do that:
Symsmb (www.telexy.com). Current ver. 3.50. Have not been able to test it though (time constraints...). It is not free but 15 days trial is available. If anyone does try it, pls. share your experience here.
Nokia should make this available free as a productivity tool...!!!
Thanks.

E51 WLAN Setup Issues

Hi,
I know this has been discussed before, but after searching and trialing I've got nowhere.
Just got my E51 and trying to connect to my home wireless network. Appears to connect fine, try to start browsing, no data is transferred and eventually times out...
I've tried wizard setup and manual setup - both give the same results.
Router (Netgear WGR614) setup:
WPA-PSK security
SSID visible
Phone set-up
Network status Public
WLAN mode Infastructure
WLAN security mode WPA/WPA2
WPA2 security mode off
Think that's about it. Any solutions as to what causes this? I fear it's a firewall setting as allows connection but no data transfer. I disabled the SPI firewall on the router and that didn't help.
Thanks for any help!

I don't know what exactly caused the problem, which consisted of not being able to connect my Nokia E51 to the WLAN Router but if the security settings were disabled. Whenever I tried to enable the security settings with WEP/WPA on my WLAN router, although the access point was duly detected, and apparently flawlessly listed, it would no longer be available when actually trying to connect, as it would return the error message "WLAN not found".
After reading a few things about security issues, (http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3672711, http://www.practicallynetworked.com/security/041207wpa_psk.htm) I decided that there is no way I could accept to connect to WLAN without security encryption.
By trial and error I managed to enable the security settings on the WLAN router AND successfully connect with Nokia E51 only after I did this:
1) Changed the SSID to some very exotic new name, completely different from the previous default name (supplied by the manufacturer). I noticed that the default SSID had become a known access point (AP) to my nokia phone when the security was disabled. With security enabled, it no longer worked.
2) Set up the wireless security to WPA authentication type, TKIP encryption, PKS.
3) Chose a 15 (or more)-character-strong passphrase and set is up in the wireless router security settings.
4) Had the WLAN assistant of my Nokia E51 update the AP list.
5) Once listed as new, unknown SSID, I was able to set up from the phone my WLAN AP, via the OPTIONS tab where I was finally prompted for the passphrase. (Same prompt would NOT work unless SSID of a previously successful, unencrypted AP is changed)
The device resolved the connection which worked fine ever since.
I think that there is a bug with Nokia E51 which does not actually update the access point list and does not reload all of the details of a recently reconfigured AP which used to work fine with disabled security settings in the first place. The mobile phone can be forced to completely refresh the AP list (in Connection Manager> WLAN assistant) only if the SSID of the AP is renamed in the the router settings. It seems that only afterwards would the security handshake between the devices finally work out and establish a proper connection. There is definitely a bug with the Nokia E51 wlan manager!

VoiP on Nokia E51 - Help Needed Urgently !!!

I am located in Copenhagen Denmark and I use a wireless network to connect to the internet. My Nokia E51 is also able to detect the same network when I scan for WLAN. However when I try to use it to make a net call it says ''NO WLAN COVERAGE FOUND''.
Probably a step by step guidance to configure the following would be useful -
- Wireless LAN
- SIP Settings
- Internet Tel
Help Please

Hi
Thanks to bife71 for the reply. The phone was able to detect the wireless network and I was able to use the Gizmo feature to make calls. The network name I was using was ''Netgear''. But since one month I shifted to a new apartment and there the network name is ''NETWORK'', and when I tried to connect using my E51, the WLAN scan is not able to pick up the wireless network at all. I use the same connection to browse the net and the connection is good. But the phone is not able to detect this connection and I am not able to make calls.
HELP PLEASE !!! Telephone charges are lot in Copenhagen and I badly need to use the Voip function for which I bought E51.

E51 Wlan Hidden SSID

We have lately purchase a couple of N95 and a couple E51 handsets. At the office we have a Linksys 4400N Access Point configured for 802.11G with WPA and hidden SSID.
The N95 handsets are able to connect with no problems whatsoever. The E51 however simply won't connect.
I tried taking the E51 home and connect it to my Airport Extreme 802.11G/N with the same results. At home I also have a hidden ssid so I tried to unhide it, with the ssid visible the E51 connects immediately. Hiding the ssid again (and changing the setting to hidden on the e51) and the handset is again unable to connect!
How is it that the N95 is able to connect and the E51 fails so miserably? I'd really prefer NOT to have to change the WiFi settings just because of a couple of handsets. Or simply say that for E51 users it just won't work.
This issue is really bugging me, searching the net has only resulted in few hits on this specific issue. Here's hoping that it is I who's making some kind of mistake (I doubt that however since I configured the N95 and the E51 side by side).

I was able to connect nokia e51 to WLAN with hidden SSID (I use WPA-PSK with AES).
Just define the access point first and choose "Network status" as hidden.
Here is short instruction from the manual:
"Connection > Access points.
2. Select Options > New access point to create a
new access point, or select an existing access point
from the list and then Options > Duplicate access
point to use the access point as a basis for the new
one.
3. Define the following settings.
• Connection name — Enter a descriptive name
for the connection.
• Data bearer — Select Wireless LAN.
• WLAN network name — To enter the service
set identifier (SSID), that is, the name that
identifies the specific WLAN, select Enter
manually. To select the network from the
WLANs in range, select Search for networks.
• Network status — Select Hidden if the network
you are connecting to is hidden or Public if it is
not hidden.
• WLAN network mode — If you select
Infrastructure, devices can communicate with
each other and with wired LAN devices through
a WLAN access point. If you select Ad-hoc,
devices can send and receive data directly with
each other, and no WLAN access point is needed.
WLAN security mode — You must select the
same security mode that is used in the WLAN
access point. If you select WEP (wired equivalent
privacy), 802.1x, or WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi protected
access), you must also configure the relevant
additional settings. See the device help for more
information.
• WLAN security settings — Edit the security
settings for the selected security mode.
• Homepage — Enter the web address of the page
you want to display as the home page when you
use this access point."

Nokia E51 + Cisco Wireless Network + disable verif...

Hello
My school has new wireless infrastructure powered by Cisco (WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, AES, PEAP). With PCs and Macs everything works fine. In Windows XP/Vista/7 i can easily disable verification of certificate just like in manual (first picture on last page):
http://www.kozminski.edu.pl/gfx/kozminski/files/dzial_it/wifi_xp_eng.pdf
Is it possible to do something like that in E51? There is no such option in menu.

Yes, there is this option. Chech page 117 of the English manual about EAP plugins.

E51 wlan can't connect

Hi,
I was using my Nokia E51 last night and downloaded wefi and werok apps thinking it might be safe, when i deleted werok, wefi went away as well and my wifi was working perfect. I woke up this morning trying to go on the internet, and nothing connects, it keeps saying "Connection not available" i try using my apps and it doesn't even let me go to search for wlan. Can anyone help?

Reset the E51. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.

Nokia E51 Questions

Hey there,
I am planning to buy a Nokia E51 but I have a couple of questions.
Is it possible to use voip to call people who are on skype (for free via wlan)
how many messages can the phone keep (inbox and outbox)
Is it possible to save these messages on the SD card,
and is it possible to export and import these messages to the pc and back.

You might want to take a note of these issues before you decide (if you haven't already):
1. There is no USB charging support. You cannot connect your phone to the USB port of your PC/Laptop and let it (re-)charge. I just don't understand why Nokia fails to provide this simple, yet very useful feature.
2. Leaving the phone continuously on Wlan connection just drains your battery. So, better leave it hooked to the charger while it is connected to wlan.
Well I never had a phone where I could charge with the USB to be honest, and I don't think its that much of a hassle to take the charger with me if I know ill be gone a while.
And I have a couple of devices that use Wlan and I always switch it off when I don't use it, and in case I talk on skype on this phone (can last a couple hours easy) then I would just put it in the charger
BTW I like to charge my phone every night (and just leave it on for months really) what would be better for the phone itself (this one)
oh and thanks for telling me

MacBook with Windows Vista Shared Folders

So, my question and the problem is, that I can't seem to make my MacBook connect to a Windows Vista shared folder (Default Public folder, or any other folder). I've tried pretty much everything on the windows end. I've reset the sharing options, started from scratch, and my MacBook still can't connect to it. When I use the smb://192.168.1.199 (windows machines ip), it hangs for maybe a minute, and gives me this message: "Finder can't complete the action, because some of the data in "smb://192.168.1.199" can't be read or written (Error -36)." Sorry for the typos, but i'm translating from Finnish to English.
Also, the funniest thing is that it worked previously, a week ago to be exact, and then, one day it just stopped working. I've tried almost anything that I can think of. Every setting is the way they were, when it still worked. Does anyone of you guys here, have any idea what could be causing this anomaly?

Hi:
till now I did a great progress, I get see the windows vista server from my MAC (even when I get change a rule in the norton filrewall) and now the windows ask for a user and password, I create a user like I have in the MAC with the same password but all the time reject the connection, look I put the wrong password but isn't
Any idea?

NOKIA E51 - Is it possible to search contacts in a...

I have a new Nokia E51, very great device, but I have to manage 2243 contacts (!). The (new) actual searching contacts way is just crazy for me: if I try to write the word john... the phone shows me hundreds of contacts with that part of word.
I'd like to know if there is a way to set the phone so to search contacts using names in the usual alphabetical order: just writing the first letter, than the second ,the third, and so on?
Somebody on this forum suggested to use Text-Quick (http://mind-flip.com/textquick/index.html) but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in that way, but just keeping memory of more searched contacts.
It is really really annoying the way it searches.
Help please!
Somebody else on this forum said It is a bit counter intuitive at first, but once you get used to it the wider search is actually much better than the first name search (particularly if your memory for names isn't too great) but what you can do if you have thousands of contacts?
There will be soon an alternative option in the contacts settings for next E51 firmware?
Thank you

You wanna know the weirdest thing...
In my E51 it DOESN'T search for any string even in the middle.. it only searches alphabetically on the first name or the last name. But not something in the middle.
HOWEVER, other applications that show the contact list, such as Fring, *DO* search on any in-between string.
So apparently the phone can do both.. I don't see it as a setting though.
As a personal preference I think I would prefer being able to search for any in-between string.. I mean to me it just seems like a natural transition from the old days when contact names were in SIM memory and you only had like 8 characters to enter someone so you ended up with loads of "John K", "JLee" and other cryptic but short names.
These days I would recommend that if your contact is called "John Samolowicz" to actually spell that out in the appropriate fields. Then you find someone instantly by searching for something more unique than his first name...
AND/OR use the 'Groups' feature: If you put people in groups then simply moving to the tab to the right from the contacts list would give you a much reduced list of people in a particular group; Don't tell me that you actually CALL 2000 people on a regular basis..
To search middle string, use the SEARCH from OFFICE Folder. You can find on the Contact part of search result.
