Your PC could not acquire the IP address from N900's DHCP server it seems.

I suspect that dnsmasq is not running. Please run the following command under xterminal of your N900 and show me the result:

Code:
ps aux | grep dnsmasq
If you've problem typing the '|' in xterminal you may just use browser to copy&paste this command line to your xterminal.

Don't worry about it. If the PC is successfully connecting to your N900, the worse you might have to do is to manually configure the IP address, gateway and DNS.
