I'm trying to connect my phone to my laptop - Computers & Internet

you haven't inadvertantly pressed the keyboard key that urns wireless off have you?
some older network cards are incompatible with the latest encryption so you could try setting the router up to use wep encryption 64bit instead

Your computer shouldn't have a dial-tone. If it's your phone that you're talking about, ensure that there's a correct connection. If that doesn't work, try using a different phone. If the issue remains, call your phone provider and they will come and fix it.

I have got internet connection from my slide (EDGE). Nokia PC suite seems to offer such a connection via Bluetooth through my phone by calling it One Touch Access. Bluetooth connection is perfect, my phone alone connects to the internet but not my laptop through my phone. What needs to be done?

So do you have internet service at the house? If so you can plug the ethernet cable from the modem directly into the computer's ethernet port.

If you're talking about directly connecting to your cell phone, then the phone has to have the built in router in it. If it does, you can connect your computer to it wirelessly.

If you're talking about a regular old house phone (land line) then you would be very slow if you could get it connected. I don't think the newer models of computers even have a modem port to connect a telephone line into it. But basically you would still need a internet service provider to connect it.

Bear in mind that there is a difference between the phone cord and the ethernet cord. The phone cord is smaller in size and the end that plugs in is smaller.

Hi
Did you have any luck connecting to the PC?
Tried mine but couldn't connect through the USB [no phone found!]
Could've tried bluetooth but then again,it doesn't apply here.
Thought this device could never connect to a PC!
If you can connect,just open the folder with the pictures and drag them onto the desktop.

Good luck!

Hi
Try downloading your phone's PC Suite on your laptop from the link below.Use the phone's USB data cable for connections.Choose PC connection on your phone as the connection type.

Hope it helps.Thanks!

try this:

1. connect USB cable to phone and laptop
2. on your phone, pull down the notification
3. select 'Select to change USB Connection Type'
4. tap on 'Disk drive'

Hope that works for you. I have an HTC too and that's what I do. :)

Sometimes, when connecting phones to laptops, you have to update software information on your laptop, requiring internet connection. Also, you must make sure that if your phone has an option for USB under its Connectivity in Settings, that it says PC Suite, Mass Storage, or Modem.

Note: Not all phones are able to be connected to a computer.

I would try:
1. updating driver
2. try connecting via Ethernet, if the issue is only wireless connectivity, try using a USB wireless network adapter, if that works means your lappy has a bad built in network adapter.
3. Are you locating laptop too far from router?
Good luck.

Have you "enabled" the BlueTooth support on the Nokia?
Have you "enabled" the BlueTooth support on your laptop?
Do you get a prompt on the laptop (or the Nokia) requesting permission to connect to the BlueTooth network?

P.S. Look for a 'Fn Lock' key on the laptop. Press it to make all the other 'Fn' keys work.
