You have to customize it!
Check GPRS settings in the N900 connections list or your cellular provider site. "IP" is not given in most cases, so it will be
at+cgdcont=1,,"apn_from_cellular_provider_site"

That's because out of the box N900 cannot act as router.
You can either tunnel to it through SSH over bt PAN and then configure a socks proxy on your PC (Bitwise Tunneloer,Putty...) , or use the powerkernel which has iptables in it. Geeky, huh?


PS: So sad... modern people do not even know anything about those immersive, warm tube sound of oldschool modems... bbbzzzz....peeeeep...bzzzz....peeeep... connect 2400/v42bis
