Hi everyone, I'm a noob here, please be patient with me

First of all, Let me emphasize that I DO NOT WANT the pc connectivity feature of the pc suite or whatever, I am speaking about the opposite: using my PC's internet connection in N900 as described here: http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking
And I KNOW that I can't access internet in GUI without libicd-whatever. I'm doing all these on console.
I've already read many topics here. None of them was what I want.

I've set up the things as the wiki page http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking explained, and had a problematic time setting the network in Windows 7. What I've done so far:
  • On N900, installed MADDE and set the recommended ip settings (default values were ok) go to USB Networking and choose Windows Network. I changed the appropriate files explained, too.
  • On Win7, Installed the Linux USB whatever/whatever/RNDIS driver and used the registry hack mentioned in the wiki. Turned off any firewall and antivirus.
  • Right clicked on my PC connection with internet access (LAN1) and Properties -> Sharing -> checked both checkboxes. Windows now automatically set the IP of my Linux RNDIS connection to 192.168.137.1. This was not mentioned in the WIKI. Is that ok?
  • Set the IPv4 of the Linux RNDIS to 192.168.2.14 and removed the automatic 192.168.137.1 thing.
  • Now I'm able to ping 8.8.8.8 (or any other IP address) on the N900 terminal. However, I cannot ping any domain name such as `ping www.google.com`.

So I think something is wrong with DNS configuration. Even if I set the DNS in Win7 in the IPv4 settings dialog, it doesn't work.

/etc/resolve.conf on the device looks like this:
Code:
nameserver 127.0.0.1(CR)
nameserver 8.8.8.8(CR)
nameserver 8.8.4.4(no CR here)
Any ideas?
