[QOUTE]
The backend does start normally though (via terminal run "sudo mobilehotspot_backend start" to see output) ? Does your N82 get IP address from the DHCP server on N900 (I have no idea how to check on that device so you're on your own with that), what happens if you set the IP manually (see earlier in this thread for details about that) ? Does it work with a laptop ? Does N82 have some sort if ping utility, can you ping the N900 ?[/QUOTE]

First of all thanks for the reply.

I have started Mobile Hotspot on the backend and it starts up but i have no idea on how to read all the processes going on. I have also tried the connection on my laptop and it does connect but stops at "identifying" and never actually connects.

I would post my xterminal results when I start it from the backend if I knew how...
