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”.
