Now that I'm all up and running with PAN tethering on my laptop, I thought I'd give it a go on my shiny new WiFi XOOM. I've gotten to the point where I can tell the XOOM to tether to the n900. However, I can't get any routing working (not even pings). The XOOM keeps reporting no IPv4 values (0.0.0.0), and I haven't figured out how to manually set the values without rooting it. Anyone have any thoughts about how I can do that on an unrooted WiFi ZOOM?

Note: Not being able to tether the XOOM to the n900 will likely result in a returned XOOM, so I'd rather not root it. Also, WiFi tethering is out since the n900 currently only support ad-hoc mode and Android will only connect to WiFi networks in infrastructure mode.
I don't have XOOM but from what you described it is probably a DNS problem.

Have you try pinging a pingable external IP address like 67.195.160.76?
