I'm sorry if someone has already answered this, but I'm sorry, but she's wrong. When using JoikuSpot or Walking Hotspot, the phones connect in Add Hock moad, basically a computer-to-computer connection, where as your router doesn't do this. Sounds to me like she was just trying to think up excuses.

The problem is it still won't connect to web addresses via a LAN but seemed to work perfectly when a phone is used as a hotspot. as they used an automatic ip address I tried that when I got home but still no joy yet my laptop works perfectly via the same wireless network. I tried 2 different wifi networks on the weekend which would not work as well as 2 public free wifi hotspots at Sydney airport one servicing the domestic terminal and the second the international terminal. > These did not work either. I've since removed the sim card and formatted the phone a few times. When I heard it work using the phone hotspot I was very pleased thinking the problem had gone away but no so now I am at a loss. I am going to go to my local pc shop tomorrow I will ask the guy there to see if he can connect the phone to his network after he sets the date and time on the phone. If my laptop did not work on my wlan then my LAN would be at fault. The nlkia branch manager told me to change the channel on the router as it might help but as the phone and router talk to each other I'm sure that's not the issue but I did try it with no effect. > the only difference I know of between phone hotspots and routers is one uses addhock while the other uses public. perhaps the latest e72 software uses a different default setting in that field and it has to be changed. Another thing I plan on doing if I can find someone with an optus sim who will let me borrow it for a few seconds then hopefully the protected telstra destinations may be removed. > The branch manager refused to use a router based LAN saying their is no difference between a phone hotspot and a LAN. > > Bernard Hemmings > email: [email protected] > Skype: Bernard Hemmings > Ftp server email: [email protected] > ftp server address: livingaudio.bhemmings.net > Home: 61-02-95841280 > Mobile: 61-0412177799 > _______________________________________________ > Talks mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks > > Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: > eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ > and > Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/ > _______________________________________________ Talks mailing list [email protected] http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ and Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/
