Does ipconfig provide this same functionality?

The problem in Windows is, that you need a driver to be installed to use your device as a usb-networking device. This driver should come with PC Connectivity, MADDE and the Nokia Qt SDK. Then you can use the Windows UI to configure your usb connection (IP address etc.)

        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

It's a matter of taste, but I like MAD developer, as it does all the steps, offering a UI. Maybe you want to have a look at that one.
