The pc suite mode is not the usb networking one.

You have to install the pc-connectivty and the pc-connectivity-manager packages, then you have to enable the usb networking mode on the N900, then plug the usb cable and windows will ask for a driver.
Another drawback of this approach is that the device does not charge which enabling the USB-Networking mode on the N900 via the pc-connectivity-manager. Are there plans to address this?
USB Networking from a linux computer, on the other hand, allows the device to charge and is by far a simpler process. It would be nice to see something similar on Windows.

Everything you need is a kernel with the cdc_ehternet support, and it's the case of any recent linux distro and leopard, snow leopard, and and updated tiger.

Just set a profile called like USBNET on pc-connectivity manager choose usb networking and save it.
Then set the profile to none and back to USBNET.
This works often (but not always).

The pcsuite is a Windows SW, what has to do with linux and mac ?

Using the driver package for Windows, I was able to get USB-Networking working on my XP. However, there was one big issue. If the USB cable is disconnected and re-connected, the Local-Connection created in XP network settings during installation no longer appears under the Network-Connection window in XP. Rebooting XP doesn't help. The only way to get it working again is to re-install the driver on XP which creates yet another connection in the XP network settings. Is there a solution to this?
Thanks.

Is there a way to tell N900 that I already have internet connection and it's not it's business to make things [s]better[/s] worse?
