Latency on GPRS is big and highly variable. That's the nature of GPRS, and one of the things that makes it unsuitable for VoIP. These numbers don't look unusual. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

On first view, it seems it was the dhcp connection that crashed, as I was unable to reconnect to it. After using GPRS I cannot suspend, which is evidently a seperate issue - and after some playing, after using GPRS, I have to reboot the FR to make it usuably as a phone again. and how would you turn it off again?

Alternatively, use org.freesmartphone.Network.StartConnectionSharingWithInterface usb0 and find a dhcp server running on the FR with everything else preconfigured.

HOWTO: Sharing SHR-U GPRS to *buntu laptop
Hi! I got some help at irc setting things up so I thougt I'd share it with you. I'm writing this on Konqueror on my eeepc in a moving train using the GPRS connection of Freerunner. So sharing GPRS from FR to *buntu, here we go: 1) make sure your GPRS on FR works. 2) on fr run opkg install iptables iptables-utils kernel-module-ipt-masquerade kernel-module-iptable-nat 3) create firewall.sh on freerunner, see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Tethering#Turning_your_FreeRunner_into_a_Network_Address_Translation_.28NAT.29_gateway 4) on *buntu, configure the GUI network manager to understand FR. I run Kubuntu Karmic Netbook remix with these settings: interface: eth2 ip: 192.168.0.202 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.200 dns: grap an IP address from FR's /etc/resolv.conf when using GPRS (=this is your service provider's dns..) 5) create a script like this on desktop: sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.202 sudo echo nameserver 62.241.198.246 /etc/resolv.conf sudo echo nameserver 62.241.198.245 /etc/resolv.conf Change the nameserver ip addresses to the addresses at /etc/resolv.conf on Freerunner Then: a) start GPRS b) connect USB c) run firewall.sh on freerunner d) run the other script on desktop DONE! I don't know why do I have to add the nameservers manually (why KDE doesn't do it..) or how to add the route automatically.. anyway, happy to surf now on laptop w. fr :) r ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
