i put my n900 into tablet mode, so the phone was disabled (dont want to incur data charges) fired up mobile hotspot which complained a bit but started. the pc could see mobile hotspot and connected. however the pc had a 192... address and my n900 had a 10.. address, so i would need to fiddle with the pc to change the address etc.

what i'm looking for is a way for the n900 to allow the pc to connect to the n900 without any fiddling on the pc so i can share files.

anybody got any ideas?
