Hi,

tell me how to set up ad-hoc wireless network, to connect N770 to PC running XP Windows.
PC side selected DHCP, automatic DNS assignment
Using wireless lan pci card utility on PC can set SSID and channel
on connect N770 <> PC IP address 169.254.165.115 is assigned
to wireless network card and none to N770, connecting it with
link local IP-address .
SMP System Monitor Plugin says for IP address: not connected.

Is N700 running DHCP server ?
How to setup SSID and channel on N770 to match entries set on PC ?

Trying the following script
creating an ad-hoc network
Monday, August 20th, 2007

After you’ve done the initial steps, it’s a matter of clicking the small world icon and selecting your ad-hoc network to begin hosting one at any time

Click on the menu and go to Tools > Control Panel > Connectivity.
Click the Connections button. Click New. Click Next. Name your network. Select WLAN as Connection type. Click no to “Scan for WLAN networks?”. Fill in ssid (anything is fine!) Uncheck ‘Network is hidden’, select Ad-Hoc for network mode. Security Method: None.

Click next > Advanced. In the IP Addresses tab uncheck Auto-retrieve IP address and put in:
IP address: 169.254.1.5
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Router 169.254.1.1

Click OK.

Click the globe icon/select connection and your new network should show up!

Im assuming other Nokias could see eachother this way but I only have one, can’t test that. I did get my wireless linux laptop to connect pretty easily from the command line like so:

ifdown wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 169.254.1.9
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 ssid <yourssid>
iwconfig wlan0 channel 1
ifconfig wlan0 up

But iwconfig wlan0 ssid <yourssid> doesn't work at N770
typing in iwconfig wlan0 ssid <yourssid>
i get error
Error: unrecognized wireless request "ssid"

What's wrong ?

Hi,

spending another 24 hours to setup my ad-hoc N770 - PC network.
Already corrected
iwconfig wlan0 ssid <yourssid>
to
iwconfig wlan0 essid <yourssid>

and running full script
assigning static IP on PC as
192.168.1.30
and
192.168.1.31
on N770
I can make a wireless connection
Unfortunately N770 reboots if only I try to run Opera web browser to connect to PC server.
Wireless connection gets saved
N770 hangs up and reboots.

Network is established
Static IP address assigned to N770
192.169.1.31

But trying to run Opera N770 hangs up and reboots
maemo is trying to open network connection utility
and PC network card is shown, signal level high
but maemo hangs on
and reboots.

I got wireless network established
not even running the following script lines:

iwconfig wlan0 channel 1
ifconfig wlan0 up


Any idea how to run Opera web browser not to crash N770 maemo ?

Thanks.
Darius
