Has anyone tried nokia n900 via USB tethering for Ubuntu 9.10 or Windows XP? How did you go about doing it.

I think there is a bluetooth DUN app, possibly in extras-testing?

If Ubuntu doesn't pick up the modem automatically (I read somewhere on here that someone had that kind of luck!) then maybe the procedure I used under Centos would work:

In ubuntu 9.10, just connect the n900 and on the n900 choose the pc suite mode.

On ubuntu, under network manager you should have a new Mobile Broadband choice for your carrier. Works for me.

You guys ROCK!!!

It works perfectly in Ubuntu 9.10

I didnt even know that could be possible to do this. Thanks to my "its the last check honey... I promise" I can take the laptop in a 12 hour trip.

Works but you cannot sync your calendar and other things like you do with the N95...

Hey guys!

One probably dumb question:
When I select the modem in ubuntu, what do I have to enter as number to dial and username / password?
I'm not quite sure... Because the N900 is already connected to the internet, so it doesn't have to dial anything.
Do I simply have to select my carrier out of the list? Or does it actually care what I enter there?

Thank you!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup believe it or not... should have settings for most carriers

Edit... maybe not. Lemme google that some more

dial string is *99#
user/pass is blank... should work for TMobile, maybe for most GSM carriers?
