Hi all, Has anyone else had experience with the new Three mobile networks 3Spot application?
It allows you to tether your 'puter to your mobile. You download the application and determine security settings etc then switch it on and off you go - just connect to it as if it's an access point. Works in <cough> Windows7 easily but I cannot for the life of me get it going in Ubuntu 9.10 (dual booting Lenovo X200). Each time it tells me that it cannot obtain an IP address. There are options to set the IP address manually - I used the one which Windows used. However this requires using a static IP address. So: IP 192.168.2.2 Netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway is auto set t 192.168.2.1 I then also need Static DNS details: DNS Domain Search Domain DNS1, 2 and 3 So at this point I'm buggered. I think I have the correct DNS1 and 2 details (taken from the Windows connection) BUT am stuck with the DNS Domain and Search Domain options. I've tried various options for these (eg. calling Planet3 as the Three network name is called) but I merely get a "3Spot: Connection failed: could not contact the wireless access point" message. If I leave it to connect using DHCP it searches for an IP address but finally fails, telling me that it failed to obtain an IP address - this takes an age, with the machine searching for several minutes. Any help at this point would be most appreciated.
