Not really sure on where to post this as no recently active Mobile Hotspot threads relating to anything similar.

I have been having some problems with my N900 on T-Mobile UK recently, have been unable to VNC into my remote desktop machine, this is not through SSH so I will try this but no I notice my mobile hotspot no longer works either :( I have 4 machines neither can pick up the n900 as a new wireless connection.

I am able to see the wireless connection from the N900 itself but from none of the laptops... this is driving me insane now! Anyone else having problems on T-Mobile uk?

I was never able to get either Mobile Hotspot or Joikuspot working. But I only work with Macs. Are you?

Nope all running XP. I have always used it on my laptop but now it doesn't show in the wireless section. Have tried to reboot 3 times. I don;t want to reflash my phone just to find out T-Mobile are blocking something or another... I find it rather coincidental that I can no longer vnc into my home machine nore can I use mobile hotspot :(

By the way, the app seems to work ok just that I can't see the wireless connection in windows.

Which version of MHS do you have, 0.3.4 or 0.3.5? I had the same issue with v0.3.5, but after I went back to v0.3.4 everything works again. Read more here.

lol I got 0.3.4 installed. Just need to know if it's a T-Mobile thing... I assume that even if t-mobile are blocking tethering I would still be able to connect to my n900 just not surf?

Re: mobile hotspot
 
If you can see N900's access point and you can connect with it, then probably the issue is caused by T-Mobile network.

When you tether with N900, open N900's browser and try to surf with it, to check if this works.

I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to cheat T-Mobile network?

Re: mobile hotspot
 
Mobile Hotspot creates an Ad-Hoc wireless network. If your computer is not set up to show these kinds of networks, you won't be able to see it. (Or maybe certain wireless chipsets/drivers don't show ad-hoc networks either)
