Hi, First of all i would like to thank you all for this wonderful community for beginners who are using n900.

Now, coming to my problem, I am using a n900 with vodafone connection. Previously, I was not able to browse or surf internet at all on the n900, so i read somewhere and used manual settings which are as follows:

Connection name: Vodafone Live!
Connection type: Packet DAta (which is default)
on clicking on next
Access Point name: portalnmms
User name: blank
Password: blank
next, then clicked on advanced
Proxy: Enabled
Proxy Address: 10.10.1.100 (in all > http, https, ftp, rtsp)
Port number: 9401 (only in first port number)
then on ip addresses - ticked auto retrieve and also ticked auto retrieved dns

So after using the above manual settings i was atleast able to browse/surf internet on the n900 default browser. I also installed the latest beta version of firefox (downloaded its deb file and installed it) and even on this browser i can surf internet without any issues.

Now the main problem starts here, I read that we have to install all extras repository on n900 so that we can install all software packages, games and any more thing. So I downloaded the extras.install, extras-devel.install and extras-testing.install and added it in the app manager. But after adding it, the catalogue automatically starts updating itself and then finally i get the error message which is listed below:

hildon-application-manager 2.2.71

Now i am stucked with above.

Also, i downlaoded and installed the rootsh_1.5_armel.deb amd used the sudo gainroot command to take control. But when i try to update here with the command apt-get update, even then i get the connection timed out problem. I will copy the log files of apt.get after sometime, but before that please help me with above problem. Thank you in advance for your replies.

Regards
Dinsh
