I managed to make the ping happen from n900 to my laptop. I am trying to use internet on n900 using the connection on my laptop. However, the sharing of internet connection is not working. I'm using Windows 7. I have a wireless network connection that my laptop is using, and a "Local Area Connection 2" "Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget" connection also showing up. I right click the wireless connection (which has interner on it) and click properties and goto sharing tab to share stuff, but than I get a prompt saying that the "Local Area Connection 2" will be assigned 192.168.137.1 IP, there is no other option. This happens and no internet sharing works. Can anyone help plz? thanks.
