[maemo-developers] How to setup ad-hoc wireless network N770 <> PC Windows XP ? (pls don't delete)

[From: Darius Jack]

Thanks Martin,
thanks to everyone.

I did it, finally I did TVersity streaming video/audio files mp3/avi to Nokia maemo.
Tried hard to setup static IP from terminal
but both Opera web browser and Media Streamer on Nokia tried to establish
a new network connection, closing already established ad-hoc wireless network,
connecting with local-IP network address.

Finally I did it.
Thanks for your kind help.
It took me 48 full non-stop work hours

 please note that the ifconfig commands are not to be run on the tablet, but on the PC. On Windows XP, you would instead setup an Ad-Hoc connection by using some GUI tool.
 
 The Nokia tablets support Ad-Hoc mode out of the box. You just have to select Ad-Hoc mode for the connection in the connection settings. Remember to select Ad-Hoc mode on the PC side as well.
 Now if the SSIDs are the same, you should get a connection. I usually use static IPs for the PC and tablet in this mode.

Cheers,
Martin

if you mean ap as access point 
so I don't have any ap
as I set up ad-hoc wireless network
ap-free
It already works if I assign static IP addresses both on Nokia and PC running TVersity server.
Unfortunately I can't Opera web browser or Media Streamer as each one saves established ad-hoc wireless network 
invoking maemo network connection utility
hanging maemo up , crashing and rebooting it.

As I see neither Opera web browser not Media Streamer can connect to TVersity over the already established ad-hoc network. 
TVersity can be run locally on PC as http://localhost:41952/.
So the problem is not very complicated but how can I force networked applications like Opera web browser or Media Streamer not to invoke maemo network connection utility and use the established ad-hoc wireless. 
I set both IP addresses as static and SMP monitor can read maemo IP address.

Pls remember hardware configuration.
No access  point, no router. Peer-to-peer ad-hoc wireless network only.
No DHCP assigned IP addresses, static IP addresses only.

Any chance to have it working one day ?

Thanks.
Darius
