Sorry to follow up on my own reply but i have now got app
installation working but only from 3g connection.
My wifi connection is working as a) i can browse the web with it
and b) lisgten to web radio and of course c) the wifi router has
assigned it with an IP address.
Any suggstions?
Perhaps proxy issues?
You will get better feel for the problem by playing around with good
old-fashioned apt - i.e. install rootsh from extras (using 3g), open
terminal, sudo gainroot, "apt-get install gpodder" (or somesuch).
Hello Ville,
Thanks for your e-mail. It looks like I jumped the gun with this
issue, as it does not seem to be similar to Daniel's.
It seems to I have figured out part of the issue.
So far this I have found:
* I can install apps using apt-get from the shell (I just installed
WifIinfo from the shell) using the WiFi connection.
* I can also install apps by shell using 3G.
* I cannot however install apps using the app manager using wifi.
There is no proxy in my home wifi network, just straight through to
the wifi/DSL router.
* I can install apps using the app manager using 3g. No issues.
* I cannot make e-mail connections to my hosted mailserver (using IMAP
and SMTP) using WiFi.
* I can check, and send mail using 3g.
* When I disconnect from my WiFi network to connect to 3g, I get
(paraphrasing) an error "operation failed", but it does successfully
connect to 3g.
It does seem very strange...I have not yet looked at packet level with
wireshark - I was hoping someone may have an idea that would save me
the job :) My WiFi router is nothing special - a Netopia with WPA
enabled. No MAC address filtering or anything advanced. My DHCP server
assigns an IP to the N900 as follows:
192.168.1.108 00-bd-3a-88-45-71 Nokia-N900-51-1
I am sure the hardware is different, but I do not have these issues
with my N800.
Any help greatly appreciated.
thanks
bernard
