I’m in Starbucks. Again.
But this time I’m connecting via my Vodafone Nokia E90’s WiFi WalkingHotspot service, using the 3G data signal of the phone.
I couldn’t ever get Joiku to work myself although I know a lot of people have been loving it. Well, I downloaded a WalkingHotspot trial last night and it’s pure genius. All it required was a phone restart and bish, bash, bosh, I was live. It’s really simple. Launch the application, select ‘start’ and that’s it. It’s connected and operational ready for your laptop — in this case, my MacBook Air — to connect. Two or three cheeky people have tried connecting. When they do, you get a prompt on the phone asking if they should be given service. No way. 😉
So. Very, very VERY useful indeed.
I've used mine with my Mac too successfully, but I can't get the iPhone to play ball now which it would with Joiku… is it just me messing up the settings?
Yeah I couldn't get the iPhone to log on. It got the IP ok but wouldn't log
on…
To me it looks like the laptop gets a 192.168.28.x address, but the iPhone gave up and self-allocated (I presume) a 169.x.x.x address.
On the iPhone:
Settings > WiFi > choose the 'blue right arrow' for your WHS > scroll down > set HTTP Proxy to 'Auto'.
Might do it.

Ah hah, excellent Mike!
