Hi all,

In this busy world we do work in computer at home and save the files in desktop or for personal use you have your files saved in home computer.But in some situation we may be away from home and if we want to acess the files in the home computer in these situation if you able to access your home PC will be realy great.

For this I browsed a easy procedure if you have a static IP in your home connection (the IP receiving to home modem or DSL/Cable router should be same always should change ) which i am going to share now . Accessing the pc from anywhere is remote access

It is possible to listen songs from E71 in car’s audio system if it has aux port.

If your a E71 user like me, then with my procedure below you will have one more useful experience with E71 while driving in car by connecting the mobile to aux port and listen music from E71.

The advantage of the small and useful accessories available in market makes our life easy.Here I mean the audio jack size convertors

All you need is 1)E71Mobile

2)Aux cable to connect to aux port

3)2.5mm to 3.5mm audio jack converter

4)Audio system of car must have front aux support

Now connect the Aux cable to aux port of the car audio system and change the settings accordingly for aux connection

Connect the aux cable to the 2.5mm to 3.5mm connector

Now connect the connecter to E71 audi out port and select music stand option on the popped up options
