I have been able to get Mobile Hotspot to work with my laptop but there are problems with the connection. Hotspot uses "Celluar data" APN instead of the T-Mobile Internet APN that I normally use. This "Celluar data" APN also does not appear in my Connections in Settings. This causes my laptop to direct me to the T-Mobile website and says my data plan requires an upgrade.

How can I get Hotspot to use my T-Mobile Internet APN instead since that seems to be the problem?

I think I had tried that but it didn't work for some odd reason... but its possible that the drivers did install.

MobileHotspot uses whichever internet connection that has been configured on your device (via the IcD subsystem), you cannot select APN or such values directly via mobilehotspot (only the connection name to use, usually there is only one GPRS type connection...)

Do you use fmms ? It does some twiddling with the data connections' settings, so make sure your device itself is set to use correct APN etc, then re-select the GPRS connection name to use (just to be sure).

If all this is ok and it still doesn't work then your provider is doing some sort of packet inspection to detect connection sharing/tethering; one or both of which might be against the TOS (terms if service).

Rambo, you've really got your **** down. I really appreciate all your support.

it should be possible to uninstall them via the app manager, if not try (as root) "apt-get remove fcam-drivers"

FYI. Just started MobileHotSpot and was unable to get an IP via DHCP from my son's iPod. I ran up an X Terminal and became root so I could run ifconfig. Wlan0 has an address of 10.212.123.1 with 255.255.255.0. So I manually configured the iPod and bingo! Runs perfectly.

So it seems there may be an issue with serving DHCP on the N900.

Cheers

Hey guys, I need some help. I've installed mobile hotspot and iptables by following the directions but yet to be able to get it all to work. How can I troubleshoot to find the problem?

When I try to connect to the wifi signal with my Nokia N82, I get "no gateway reply".

It's not in user/ cateogry so HAM (Hildon Application Manager) does not show it, but will install it as dependency so no problem there (install the powerusers kernel and reboot first to be sure).

The backend does start normally though (via terminal run "sudo mobilehotspot_backend start" to see output) ? Does your N82 get IP address from the DHCP server on N900 (I have no idea how to check on that device so you're on your own with that), what happens if you set the IP manually (see earlier in this thread for details about that) ? Does it work with a laptop ? Does N82 have some sort if ping utility, can you ping the N900 ?
