Hi again,

I can't seem to access the internet from the USB connection. With
Internet Connection Sharing 'ON' on Windows 7, I had to reset the
network settings on the N900
iface win7 inet static
    address 192.168.137.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.137.1

after ifup usb0=win7, I can ping www.google.com from the N900, but the
browser is unable to connect. I followed the instructions here [1] and
setup a dummy network which I selected when prompted by the browser.

The route is set up like this:
Nokia-N900:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.137.0   *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 usb0
default         192.168.137.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 usb0

Any help would be appreciated.
