Connecting the N900 to the internet using laptop
 
What i want to achieve is to use the internet on the n900, using my laptop's lan connection.

i tried by WiFi using an ad-hoc network but on windows 7 it seems to be very buggy and doesn't work anymore after you do it the first time.

can i do it through bluetooth or the usb connection?

i saw that pc suite can make it so that u connect your laptop to the internet using the phone's connection. i want to do it the other way around

any help much appreciated!

same with me, in windows 7 it seems it works the first time, then if you disconnect or restart pc/phone it never works again for some odd reason :(

this one worked for me but the link to the software in that post is written incorrectly, try this instead:
