It sounds like you want Wi-Fi ad-hoc or Bluetooth. Does your laptop have bluetooth? I use Windows 7 bluetooth PAN to connect to the N900. You have to update the bluetooth.conf file to allow bluetooth networking. I then assign static IP to n900 and windows BT interface and connect.

Make sure you are root!

I changed /etc/bluetooth/main.conf here:

Code:

#DisablePlugins = network, input, hal
DisablePlugins = hal

(I also enable input for Bluetooth keyboard and mouse)
Reboot.

To assign an ip to the bluetooth network do:

Code:

ifconfig bnep0 192.168.22.22 netmask 255.255.255.0

Use whatever private ip you want.

On windows you go to the bluetooth adapter and change the network settings to static. Use an IP in the same subnet like

Code:

192.168.22.20
