Yep, done that thanks.
Once I get One Touch Access up on the PC (in PC Suite) I click Connect and
get the message "Connection will be established via Nokia GSM Phone USB
modem..." then "Connecting Device...."
It runs through a time bar and then, after about a minute (meanwhile, no
signs of activity are visible on the keyboard-unlocked phone) I get "Failed
to connect to the network through the selected device."
Having tried HELP in OTA, my best guess would be that the cable is not
properly installed except the PC shows the phone as visible (and the items
on it are editable) if I go to My Computer on the PC and - before that - the
phone shows up as "N95 connected in PC Suite mode" in the PC's Taskbar if I
switch on the PC with the phone connected by its cable.
Should I have the Home Server module of PC Suite installed? I haven't at the
moment and I've really run out of other ideas unless there is a setting on
the N95 that needs to be changed.
