Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

Hi there,

i have a problem connecting my Ipad to the N900 via Wifi share. i bought Joiku and tried mobile hot spot. nothing works, let me describe it: i build a network on the n900. named it, secured it. on the ipad-side i can connect to the network (Joiku or Mobile Hot Spot) but after that it says me, that i cant surf the web. why? please help, i want to use this combination at shool. thc in advance :)

I had the exact same issue when my co-woker's try to connect their iPad/iPhone to my N900's wifi either from Joiku Spot, or the mobile hot spot application from the extras repos.

As near as I can tell (cause the terminal on the iPhone OS blows), it DOES get an IP address from the N900 over Wi-Fi and it does get nameservers, so DHCP is working on the Nokia side.

However, it can't get any packets in or out any further then it's default route.

It's almost like there's a proxy setting on Apple devices that is incompatible with this method of getting online. Not really shocking given the numerous methods of invisible control I've come to expect from Apple engineers.

They're just evil.

I use the free "Mobile Hotspot" app and my friend can connect without problems from his iPad - no proxy settings/etc to fiddle with.

Are you on T-Mobile's USA 3G network?

I was suspecting that the incompatible proxy might be T-Mobile's....

yeah thats what i am thinking too, i guess t-mobile germany cuts this connection off :/

Re: Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

No, I'm on the Dutch T-Mobile 3G network as I reside in The Netherlands!

Re: Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

so if I buy a netbook this should work as well?

Re: Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

I have both Ipad and Ipod touch, both working fine with joikuspot
Note I did have same issues before upgrading to 1.2.2
hope this helps

Re: Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

hmm maybe thats it, i should update cause i bought it before the update and used an older deb. ill check that, thx anyway :)

EDIT: Nope doesnt work :/

Re: Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

sorry for the doublepost but i have a clue!!!

its depending on the IP Widget.Thats the Problem, deinstall it and Joiku will work!!!

Re: Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

What IP widget is that?

Do you mean the personnel IP address widget?

How do you figure that interferes with Joikuspot?

Re: Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

I was wondering if he meant the Personnel IP address widget.

For what it's worth, I've got that installed too. And my iTurd owning friends can still connect via my n900/Mobile Hotspot.

I can't think of a reason why the two apps would conflict...

Re: Using the Wifi of the N900 with an Ipad
 

Tested it yesterday by installing an app and testing joiku out after that (reflashed before , no backup, just a clear n900 pr1.2). Yes, i mean the personal ip adress widget. After installing that my joiku/mobile didnt work anymore. But it seems that more apps are crushing it cause after installing my normal applist (leaving the ip widget alone) joiku/mobile now stopped working again wtf .... Au aman, dont want to try them out one by one, thats horrorible

----------- Do Disturb---------
Personal IP Adress Widget , the one which its icon is a globus with "ip" written on it (pls confirm)
Several others :(
----------- Doesnt harm------
fApn + fmms
----------------------------------

As far as i can tell, the best way to find out which apps disturbs joiku/mobile without reflashing and testing one app by one is ( in a not technical/programmer way <cause i dont know anything of sourcecodes>) to compare the app lists :D.

But maybe its just a combination of apps which interference with joiku/mobile.

I want to clear out that i really dont have a clue of programming its just that totally reflashed my n900, and after then installing my favourite apps in order from the reps(testing joikus status after every one) i noticed that after installing the IP widget, joiku stopped working.(deinstalling the ip-w brought my joiku back)
