First install SSH server on the device. I use 'dropbear' package.
Check for the following lines in /etc/network/interfaces and if there aren't there, add them (using root):
Code:
```
iface usb0 inet static
        address 192.168.2.15
        netmask 255.255.255.0
```
Connect N900 with USB cable.
Select "PC Suite Mode" in popup.
Switch to 'root' on N900 and issue the following commands:
Code:
```
ifup usb0
/etc/init.d/dropbear start
```
If you're using NetworkManager (Ubuntu etc.) wait for the address search to stop (notification area stops "connecting" animation) and you have a "disconnected" popup.

Issue the following command on the PC:

Code:

sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
