Issue with Wireless Portable Devices

Dear Xperia:

When I  try to connect my Xperial M Dual  Smart phone to the system I am getting the following message "Xperia Mdual has not been configured. Unable to associate your device with this system. You will need to manually enable the "Wireless Portable Devices" firewall exceptions while connected to public network.

Also request you to kindly help me advantages of  configuring and associating the device with system and being connected to public network in the sense does this function help as a secondary internet backup.

Expect ing a an expert advice as always from Sony.

Regards

I'm not sure if you are trying to connect your computer to the internet using your phone or if you want to connect it wirelessly to share files. Could you please clarify?

The message you're seeing is because you are connected to a public network and in that case your computers firewall will block UPnP which is used to connect wirelessly to share media between the phone and computer. Are you sure you want to open your firewall for this on the network you're connected to? You don't need to do this for using the phone as a modem.
