Hello Everyone,

I have followed this tutorial http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking which explains how to setup the N900 for USB Networking. I have it setup to be fully automatic on Ubuntu and the N900. When I plug in the USB cable and select PC Suite mode the network is setup. I can SSH to my device etc.

However there is one issue I am having and I think it has more to do with Ubuntu's network connections than the N900. Basically when I add the entry for the N900 to my /etc/network/interfaces my eth0 connection vanishes.

I have my eth0 connection setup using the System -> Preferences -> Network Connections. My eth0 connection is set to have a static IP for my workstation.

Every time I add the N900 entry and restart the network my eth0 connection disappears and I lose all Internet connectivity.

Is there a way I can have both connection running simultaneously? I cannot lose the Internet every time I connect my N900 to my system.

Both network connections are running on completely different IP's so running simultaneously should work fine. My eth0 runs on 172.* and my n900 runs on 192.168.2.15

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joseph Crawford
