It's also possible that your cellular provider not only forbids "tethering"/"connection sharing" in the contracts but also does packet-inspection on traffic to enforce this (it's possible to detect NAT by examining TCP sequence numbers etc).
Hi, thanks for ur help , okay i can connect to my n900 from the ipad. But when i want to surf/or use the appstore, the ipad says "no connection" (but i am connected at all). I reflashed my n900 to factory settings and tried Joikuspot, i wondered cause it worked straight away. then i installed MobileHotspot, which worked after all either.After that i started with my own installprocedure...and guess? ^^ nothing of them both worked anymore, so i guess it depends on a/or more certain programm/s which block/s it. One i found out was the Ip-Widget. ah and from the laptop side, i were able to connect too before installing the other apps, even with encryption (only tested WEP)

My Provider didnt locked my connection, i have extra chosen a contract where my ports arent closed, but thanks for the reminder
