Hi

I have sometimes problems with my router und I want to use over a peer to peer network the internet for my 770.

Some ideas?

Thank!

Not sure about the former - not enough information there my friend - but the only available P2P program, I think, is Nicotine, which connects to the Soulseek network. It's on Maemo.org in the application list.

I have been told one can create ad hoc networks between 770 and a PC, but I have yet to see clear, robust instructions on how to accomplish it...

I did this kind of thing for a long time before I bought my wireless router. I had a PC running Linux with two network cards (wired and wireless), and bridged them using an iptables scripts. This was before I had my 770, but I connected my laptop that way with no problems.

For example. You have a PC with two network interfaces. a wired one that connects to the internet (IP by ISP), and a wireless one (IP 192.168.0.1)

You set up your 770 with an IP address 192.168.0.2, and specify 192.168.0.1 as the gateway. You also have to manually enter DNS address (supplied by your ISP).

Back on the PC, you bridge the two interfaces. (I think in Windows you can simply select the interfaces and tell it to bridge the connections).

The downside is you have to set everything up manually. (unless you're PC is running Linux, you could run a small DHCP server like dnsmasq)

I should have specified: the problem I'm having has to do with the host PC getting an IP via DHCP. Since the IP is dynamic, I don't see how to configure what you're talking about.

What I was describing earlier the host PC had two network cards installed, so in reality that computer had two IP addresses (one for each network card). The wired (ethernet) card was issued an IP address via DHCP. The wireless card I configured with a static IP of my choosing (192.168.0.1), and then along with my desired SSID, encryption, etc.

If you did this in Windows, then you would go to you Network Connections window, select the two connections, then right-click and select "Bridge Connections"

I hope that helps explain it a bit better.

Thanks for the information.
IP and .... already done.
But I have problems with the "Bridge Connection", WIN XP
IP conflikt :-(

Check that the IP is not the same on both adapters.

The LAN-IP is from the router and the WLAN-IP is 192.168.0.1

first, check that the LAN-IP from the router is not 192.168.0.1
if it is, then change the wireless IP to 192.168.1.1
then set your 770 address to 192.168.1.2
also on your 770, set your gateway to 192.168.1.1

make sense?
good luck
