Re: Connecting the N900 to the internet using laptop
 
I'm using latest Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, and it just did this out of the box with some setting in the Network Manager GUI.

I had the laptop connected to the net via wired ethernet, and enabled the wireless connection in connection sharing mode. Unfortunately I don't remember what option that was in the GUI. I do remember when selected it automatically provided IP forwarding, NAT and local DHCP/DNS.

After that I saw the laptop wi-fi on the N900's list of connections, picked it, and the N900 had net access via the laptop. Nothing more to it. I was impressed that it was built in to Ubuntu and didn't need me to fiddle around, and that it just worked.

Does bluetooth tethering on windows 7 work? For me(with PC Suite), it did not since it could not find bluetooth modem. I thought it is a known issue with Windows 7.

Try this remove the USB Bluetooth dongle software from your laptop restart the computer... Then make sure you are connected to the net plugin in the dongle let windows 7 find and install the software automatically.. Then use windows Bluetooth software to connect to the N900 hope that helps....
