N95 and Mac OS X Ad Hoc connection

4 replies · 5,487 views · Started 18 September 2007

Hi there,

I am trying to connect my N95 with my Mac, through Wifi Ad Hoc, but i am not making any progress.
I have a Linksys wifi router that provides me the DHCP. (before you guys ask, in my rom, my Mac works perfect with wifi, but the N95 get unstable, so, i am using the cable to connect my Mac, and the wifi to connect my N95)
By the way, my N95 works perfectly with my router, when they are close of each other. It' not the case here.
So, my computer is getting connected to the Internet (Ethernet cable), but when i configure my bridge (wifi ad hoc), my N95 is getting gateway not reachable.
I've configured my ipv4 with the router gateway, but the problem still remains.
I don't know which IP address i have to configure, if it is the same from my machine or anyone not using from my router.

So, i need help from some MAC user, that had successfully configure that Ad Hoc connection.

thanks for the help

You setup the Mac as an access point and give the N95 a static IP address in the same range as the AP while using the actual wi-fi Mac's IP address as the gateway.
It's easy.
