If you mean "Can I connect to my homes wireless network?", then Yes.!

As long as you have the WEP key.

Just set up an access point with your phone so it auto connects whenever you wish to gain access to the internet through your phone using your homes wireless router.

You want to connect your N95 to the PC and use it as a WLAN adapter? I believe GnuBox is the application you want to allow such connectivity

I will make it even simpler.:-) OP wants to make the n95 equivalent to a wireless card. (OP's computer probably has no wireless)

cookieboro if you want to use your N95 to allow your PC to get on the NEt you can, plug in your phone to the PC-> open PC suite -> click on top right icon to connect to internet. HOWEVER make sure your service doesn't charge you extra for what is called tethering. Tethering means you are using your phone as the modem for you computer

What he means is, can he use his N95 as a USB wireless network card to connect to wireless networks...

The answer is no...

Ahhh... I thought you meant you wanted to connect your phone to a wifi network (NOT packet data) and use your PC to surf the net through your phone... in which case the answer would be no...

If you could live with using Bluetooth/infared/USB, PC Suite would let you do this as well..
