i'll test that again. right now i'm only using laptop 1.

my settings - (i modified the variables in your script)
- my DHCP range is 192.168.8.100 - 127.
- my n900 gateway ip is 192.168.8.11
- netmask is class c
- i use gprs for connection to internet

with laptop 1 fixed ip, i cannot ping 192.168.8.11 but i can surf the internet
with laptop 1 dhcp ip, i cannot ping 192.168.8.11 but i can surf the internet
i enable ssh on 192.168.8.11. from laptop 1, i can ssh into 192.168.8.11 so i know connectivity is working.

i will try later with laptop 2 and see what happens. something i find odd though is i remember i could ping 192.168.8.11 a few days ago when i started using this. hmmmm....anyway, i shall report my test with laptop 2 here later when i get to the machine. also, i will show you printout of my routing table. btw i'm using windows on both laptops.

here is route print from laptop 1

it may be way over my head but seeing how the first entry is 0.0.0.0 for everything else and it has the lowest metric (40) so it looks like it'll work.
