Joiku, Nokia N900, DHCP Not Working

I really don’t know if it’s a Joiku problem and probably I have not searchied the net enough, but when installed on a Nokia N900 of a my friend, thw wi-fi hostspot starts but no device can get an address using DHCP.

My friend tried with two different laptop (Vista and Windows 7), with a iPad and with a Samsung i600.

To make the whole thing works, on a laptop I connected to the wi-fi network created by Joiku and then I force manually the IP address, mask, DNS and gateway.

The parameter I used are:

IP: 192.168.2.5

Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.2.1 (it’s the IP Joiku use on device it is running on)

DNS1: 8.8.8.8

DNS2: 8.8.4.4

DNS IPs are thoe onse of Google.

Setting that the laptop starts to navigate Internet and doesn’t give anymore the message “local connection only/limited connection”.

Be aware: when you need to connect to another wi-fi (with Windows 7) you need to reset such parameter on “autoassigned”.

My excuses for my bad english but it's the only way I have to communicate with you. Would you suggest a correction? Leave a comment, thank you!
