You just need internet right, I don't think you need to use MAD developer for that
You can always use PC suite or create a dial up connection yourself.
Connect ur n900 to ur pc, select the PC suite mode and use the PC suite to connect to the internet.
This would do in-case you are just looking to run internet through usb.

Edit : I suppose you are talking the other way around :p In that case, it would be sth to try out first cos I haven't tried before. Lemme see

Re: Is there anyone who can tell me - How to get internet on n900 with USB_Networking!

another not-so-simple way I can think of right now is...
get a cheap wifi dongle( if u are already using wifi on ur pc to connect to internet) and setup a adhoc network through your pc with that dongle.
Thts it.
You wil have a wireless network setup and use that for your n900 :D

Only windows 7 conectify!! Is gr8 for ad-hoc

Re: Is there anyone who can tell me - How to get internet on n900 with USB_Networking!

I'm not sure what you mean by the last line.
But yeah I just checked , you're right , I dont think n900 reads any adhoc anymore.
I'll see If terminal can read anything different than what is displayed in available connections

All the info you need should be on the wiki page (http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking). I used that no probs but I have a Linux desktop. What OS do you run on your desktop?

If you're having problems with the device-side setup, here's my condensed instructions (I made these because I've had to rebuild my N900 a few times already) which are based on the wiki page.

Connect to a network (Wifi/3G) to install required software: rootsh, openssh.
Connect via USB and select PC Suite mode.
Run X-Terminal: sudo gainroot then ifup usb0.
Confirm that you can login via SSH.

On the device:
edit /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:

        up route del default

        up route add default gw 192.168.2.14

        up run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:DUMMY uint32:0

        down run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.disconnect boolean:true

Run those route commands now.
Verify that you can ping a server on the internet (traffic is going out via USB cable).
Create /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code:

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free 

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free

Install some required bits and set them up:

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get install libicd-network-null

gconftool-2 -s -t string /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/DUMMY/type DUMMY

gconftool-2 -s -t string /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/DUMMY/name "Dummy Network"

gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/DUMMY/autoconnect false

Edit /usr/sbin/pcsuite-*:
Before the exit 0 line at the end add ifup usb0 or ifdown usb0 depending on the script.
Edit /etc/resolv.conf

Code:

# Google DNS

nameserver 8.8.8.8

nameserver 8.8.4.4

MAC address fixing:

Code:

echo options g_nokia host_addr=00:11:22:33:44:55 > /etc/modprobe.d/g_nokia

Turn off extras-devel in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Run apt-get update

If you get to something that doesn't work, please reply letting me know which step failed. If it's that you can't ping after running the route commands your desktop machine isn't setup right.

Re: Is there anyone who can tell me - How to get internet on n900 with USB_Networking!

n0ak

You have to:

#1 unload any g_nokia and g_storage_file modules eventually present

#2 load the module g_ether (and install the related driver in windows)

#3 bring up and configure the usb0 network adapter

If you want to share the 3g connection you ave also
to

#4 enable the ip forwarding

#5 set the iptables roule[s]

#6 configure statically the ip/gw/dns on the pc side or (better) configure dnsmasq on the n900 to act as DHCP/DNS server.

P.S. You need the power kernel to use iptables,

If you don't need the Internet sharing, you can use the stock kernel but you need the mad deveper package which provide the g_ether module
