Laptop fails to connect to internet via the app


Posted on Nov 3, 2009 by Massive Dog

Hello,

Im feeling a little defeated here posting for help but I don't seem to getting anywhere. Ive just gotten my HTC Hero rooted and this app running no problem. However when my laptop connects to my phone, It dosen't seem to be able to connect to the internet properly. It is currently running Win7 64bit RC.

I can ping its IP on the network with the phone and the phones IP no problem, however I can't seem to get any external WAN access. Just the ominous and annoying "Limited Connectivity" icon in the bottom right of the taskbar.

Any help would be appreciated, Cheers, Adam

Oh, also might be worth noting the output of ipconfig:

Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::20d5:942:5a18:4a0d%12 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.103 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.254

As far as i'm concerned, its clearly a client problem, I just can't for the life of me see what exactly it is.
