Windows – Nokia 5800 v50, getting “Invalid server name” with ad-hoc wlan with Windows 7

ad hoc networkdial-upwindows 7wireless-networking

After upgrading to v50 firmware in my Nokia 5800 xpress music phone.

I am not able to connect to ad-hoc wlan network in my laptop(Windows 7 OS).

I have a dialup internet connection and created wireless ad-hoc network to access the internet in my phone. But I am getting "invalid server name" in the phone and my wireless network access type in Windows 7 shows "no internet access".

I am able to connect to wlan infrastructure network using 5800 in my office. So my phone is working with wlan and I m able to access internet on it. BUT The problem is "dial up with ICS enabled" and "AD-HOC wlan network" in Windows 7.

Can anyone give some solution on it. Or can you provide a guide/tutorial to connect 5800 with adhoc network and dialup internet in Windows 7.

System:
Windows 7
Dial up internet connection with ICS enabled.
Ad-Hoc wireless network with WEP

Note: I have read other posts also and tried their solutions but didn't worked for me. the first solution is to bridge the network and access it. but how can I bridge the dialup and wlan netwok?
second solution is manually configure IP and DNS addresses in phone. But what should I add as IP and DNS as my dial up and adhoc network have automatic addresses.

Best Answer

Create an adhoc connection with WEP encryption. On the last step of this setup it says:'Enable internet sharing?' Select it. Now your adhoc network is created and your internet connection is shared. On your phone go to Connectivity-Destinations-Internet-go to options and select "New access point"(Make sure the wlan connection on your pc is on)- it will search for available connections. Select your connection and enter the wep key. The access point will be added. Now, select the newly created access point and go to options and select "edit". Again go to options and select advanced settings, and select IPv4 settings. Since you use Windows 7, use this configuration:

phone ip address: 192.168.137.10

subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

default gateway: 192.168.137.1(this is ur laptop's wlan ip)

primary dns server: 8.8.8.8

secondary dns server: 8.8.4.4

Once you enter this, you are done. Enjoy surfing the internet on your 5800!!
