N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Today i bought JoikuSpot Premium to share my internet connection from N900 to my Laptop.

I installed the program on N900 and started it.

Then i searched for wlan with my laptop and ofcourse i found the Joikuspot wlan from my n900. I connected to it and tried to surf the web. But it didn't worked. I am connected to JoikuSpot from my laptop and have full signal strengh but i have still no internet.

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate x64


Can someone help with this??

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Are you using a custom kernel? (Titan's for example)
If so open terminal, type root, then When you're done sharing your connection type The stock kernel doesn't have that bug/problem.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

ty for the help. i will try right now.. coming back in some minut.


EDIT: It still not works:( yes i have titans kernel.
But i have the leaked 1.2 fw too. maybe thats the problem?

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

ad hoc wifi is tricky, I used the symbian s60 version and could get all kinds of devices to connect but not my lenovo x60 running windows xp.

I have also purchased joikuspot for n900 and I now can connect said computer without issues. I have noticed though that problems arrise if the 3g coverage is not good, I mean that joikuspot seems to not always work at all where the n900 browser works only slowly.

Try updating drivers (ofcourse) and try using Windows' native wireless manager instead of your adapter's propriatory manager, or vice versa.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Same problem here. I also purchases Joikuspot and had no luck in connecting through WiFi. Network setup is ok but I can't open webpages for some reason. Might be ISP related but I haven't tried much.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Close the connection (properly - wait for it to display the summary), go to terminal, and as root redo the command (only the modprobe JoikuSpot_Bouncer one) then hit Share Internet.
It worked for me (not from the first try though)

Edit: oh and it works on the leaked firmware, someone tested it (not me - still on 1.1.1(.5)ish)

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Now it works. Thanks so much for your help mohammad...

You will sure get a kiss from me.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Thanks for this. Just bought Joikuspot, and ran into this problem. Loading the module by hand fixes the problem for me.

I also went on, and figured out why the autoloading breaks with custom kernels. The joikuspot package (naturally) includes the bouncer kernel module, which is installed in /home/opt/maemo/usr/share/applications/joikuspot/ . However, syslog reveals that JoikuSpot tries to load that module when it's started, but fails because the module has wrong kernel version info.

By copying the module from your custom kernel's modules (/lib/modules/2.6.28.whatever/) over Joiku's default one (remember to backup the original!) the automatic module load and unload works. However, this operation likely has to be repeated whenever updating/switching kernel, or updating JoikuSpot.

Tried with 2.6.28.10power27 kernel. I only recommend this for people who are comfortable moving files around using command line, that's why I won't post the exact commands.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Hi everyone, i have the same problem, when i start joikuspot and i connect the ipod the kb grows up, but it says that the internet connection isnt found.

I don't understand the codes probably, cause when i have inserted them, the terminal says : FATAL: Module Joikuspot_Bouncer not found. (with the code: modprobe Joikuspot_Bouncer)

I have the kernel titans ideal. Someone can help me telling me step to stpe how to do?

Have a nice day

EDIT: Sorry, it was cause when i gave the command i miss the "S" in Joiku"S"pot.

Sorry sorry sorry :D

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

I've also found I sometimes need to configure external dns servers on my laptop as name resolution via Joiku is sometimes flakey.

OpenDNS servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Hi
I have a similar problem. Joikuspot worked fine prior to the recent n900 update. It also seemed to work fine, though took a few tries to connect, during the interlude between my downloading the recent N900 update and the most recent Joiku update. I am just a regular N900 user and I do not want to mess around with root, etc. Nor do I think I should be required to do so for something I paid for. So I wonder if there is another way to deal with this problem. My compter indicates that I am clnnected to Joiku with an excellent signal. Thanks in advane for your help.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

I hit this problem with the custom kernel, however there's more to it than just the module

I got extremely poor performance with jokiuspot -- we're talking mostly dropped packets and occasional 3000ms ping -- to all intents and purposes it doesn't work.

Going to try the free package before deciding whether to go back to stock kernel (currently using the -37 titan kernel)

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

I also had this problem only after i updated for some reason. I havent fixed it yet because didn't see this thread until now! You guys are awesome, However before i go about doing this All i have to do is go to terminal, be in root and type what was posted earlier?

If so does it matter if i already have Titans Ideal/LV on? would that be a bad thing to do? should i go back to stock Speed before i do this transition? And/Or is it any different for anyone for any specific reason? Im ready to get my Joikuspot fixed. I thought i lost my moneys worth, so any help would be greatly appreciated by you guys.

Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for your post. I guess i just got to enter that line(s) in X-term and thats it right? awesome. Will let everyone know if i run into any problems ;)

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

I've suggested to JoikuShop that they add a subroutine that detects which kernel is active and to have the code lines as part of the startup-shut down routines of the application. I also tried using QueenBee to handle the code but that didn't work.

Until JoikuShop takes my advice messing around in root to the extent this fix requires means having to be extra careful about typing and reviewing what you've typed before hitting the 'enter' key. You:

• open xterm
• type sudo gainroot 'enter'
• type modprobe JoikuSpot_Bouncer 'enter'
• close x-term

Case sensitive so be sure to watch for the capital letters. After you are done with JS:

• open xterm
• type sudo gainroot 'enter'
• type modprobe -r JoikuSpot_Bouncer 'enter'
• close x-term

Practice typing it in a note program or Conboy to build your confidence. I wish I could cut and paste from my note program to x-term but that doesn't seem to be possible. I'm kinda, sorta fearless when it comes to entering short pieces of code. The longer scripts are what scare me off. I'm too awful of a typist.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Wait a sec then. You are telling me that everytime i am OC'd i have to type the first batch of lines to use JSpot and then after i am done i have to essentially put it back? is that what the code is pretty much doing? If so what happens if i do not put it back? will something happen if i turn of my N900? or if i go back to stock kernel?

Is this mainly for the kernel then Because if i always use the same kernel will have to put Jspot modprobe back? I am clueless in this area BTW >.<

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

If you follow workaround guide from post #8 then you don't need to do any additional steps before or after using JoikuSpot. Working with latest Titan kernel (2.6.28.10power37).

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Cool The only thing i need to learn how to do at the moment is how exactly do a back up of the original. (i am assuming you need to back it up just in case of some accident or when an update happens to either the kernel or Jspot). I did it the manual way and my Jspot works now i just dont want to have to turn it off like that all the time but i guess i can just remember the code lol.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Here are step-by-step guidance, but it is on your own risk.
Open x-term and type these commands:

- back-up JoikuSpot_Bouncer.ko to /home/user
- gain root rights
- remove old file
- copy a new from kernel's modules
That's it.

EDIT: You have to do this always when either kernel or JoikuSpot is updated to a newer version.

I love this website!! And you sir are awesome! Thank you for your patients and help. :)

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

with that do i have to change anything b4 i update versions of joikuspot or firmware or just have to redo it?

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

How are ppl finding performance with the titan kernel?

I got the joikuspot module loaded, but found performance was seriously degraded with significant numbers of lost packets.

I posted a few rough observations here -> http://cherrybyte.blogspot.com/2010/06/oops.html

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

This worked..however these files have wastly different size!!
I have the full version of Joiku.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

guy this sooooooooooooooo fixed my issue!! thanks a bunch

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

this just f****** solved my f****** problem. i also have a titan's power kernel (MUCH LONGER BATTERY LIFE AND FASTER though). i bought JoikuSpot and got disappointed for wasting CAD9.99 for a non-working app.

But Mohammad saved my a**.. Thanks a lot!


*EDIT: didnt work at first but after a reboot and disconnect, it now works! around 1.75Mbps is good enough for a mobile internet speed for me.. :)

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

I need help with titan kernel. I've tried xterm commands and i still cant'get internet connection. I try to connect my laptop with it my pc finds JS and connects and says there is a internet connection but i still can't open web pages. I have windows 7 pro.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

JoikuSpot is working OK with Titan's new kernels (v37, v38 & v39).

Is Joikuspot Bouncer loaded OK? Start JS and check whats dmesg says in xterm.
If everything is OK, then shutdown JS and try to restart it.
Sometimes JS is not creating connection properly (I don't know what might be the root cause), but restart has cured the problem.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

im having trouble with the fix, i updated to v39 kernel now i cant get JS to work when i put dmesg, the message i get is joiku bouncer disagrees about version of symbol struct module, pls advice

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Use JoikuSpot_Bouncer from Titan's kernel package (see couple mails above).

When ever Titan's kernel version is updated, then you have to replace JoikuSpot_Bouncer.ko to fix the problem.

Dmesg gives to me following response.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Juhuuuu, that works for me but I still got a question. Is it necessary to be done each and every time I want to start Joikuspot (e.g. after reboot) ?!

That would be ....

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

I have recently moved from joiuspot to mobilehotspot as joikuspot just didn't seem to work. I uninstalled it but for some reason the connection "joikuspot234qwef2" is still there... I dont wana have to reflash my phone but surely it can't be a good thing that my phone is constantly transmitting the ssid?

Have tried to search for help but alas no one seems to have the same problem :(

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Where exactly is "there" ? Because I don't see how the N900 could be transmitting any Ad-Hoc network name when the wifi radio is not in ad-hoc mode at all (like for example when you use it to connect to some other wifi network). You other devices might remember having seen such Ad-Hoc network and thus retain the name in case you want to create Ad-Hoc network with same name on that device for whatever reason.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Thansk for the fast reply, basically whenever I turn the wifi on on my work laptop It says "connected to joikuspot connection" Ive just check another pc in the office one that has not been tathered to my phone and joikuspot as you say does not show up on a search, my laptop however does show it as a previous connection but if I connect to it I get given an ip address and can connect to a cennection that in essance isn't there.

As I type my laptop has aquired an ip address and says it's connected to joikuspot.

Edit: I just check the other pc, seems the wireless was turned off, on a refresh the joikuspot connection shows up :(

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

I'm sure the problem is that the laptop remembers gthe connections, remove them from the "known connections" list and see what happens, alternatively turnyou N900 off (remove battery for good measure) and observe that the laptops still see the connection even though now it's definitely not originating from the N900

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

hmmm so I turn the phone off and take out the battery surprise surprise I can still see the joikuspot connection so you were correct rambo Windows is just... stupid! Get this though, with the phone off (no battery) I tried to connect to the joikuspot connection and it managed to aquire an ipaddres! from nothing?!?!?! LOL! Bravo Microsoft!

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

To be fair this is how Ad-Hoc networking works; anyone is free to create a network and the OS will allocate an IP from a private range "commonly used" for such things (ditto when connecting to a network and not receiving DHCP reply), then the machines can use Bonjour/Zeroconf to discover each others services and start talking.

It can be a bit confusing though if the OS remembers ad-hoc connections it has sometime connected to (vs created), OSX for example doesn't do it (but if my N900 goes down while my macbook is connected to it, it will [as per spec] keep the ad-hoc network running on it's side [possibly losing the N900 DHCP assigned IP at some point).

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Is there a reason why that when i tried to follow the steps to replace the modprobe file in xterminal, it says that permission is denied. I even tried it in with root enabled and I still don't have access.

Re: N900+JoikuSpot= NO internet
 

Thx, that did it.
