Do you have a usb lan device, when connecting the phone.
When not you need to install the driver or load the usb lan modul on N900 for windows.

If you have a usb lan device put a fixed IP address. For example 192.168.2.14 or start dhcp server on N900.

This will not change the ip from your pc.

I attached the usb driver in case you have no usb lan.

P.S.: For loading the usb lan windows modules and change ip address you can use genwall or mad developer. With genwall you can also set a dhcp server.
