Edit: I tried also to give static addresses (IP, Gateway and DNS) but I can't even ping my N900 from the Laptop.

Greetz,

I spot you've made change to the followings:

1) The password. Note that that the length of password must be exactly 13 words.
2) You've made change to the network and the DHCP network, that would cause routing problem as the routing on your own private networking may not be able to route the wifi traffic when you get them all into the same network, unless you tells the routing table how to diffentiate different traffic. That's why you got connection problem.

Unless you're very familiar with TCP/IP routing, I'd suggest you stick to the original settings first. Make the change by trial and error later after you've successfully got the initial connection work.
