On the Joiku webpage under Reviews, I found this reply to a Frenchman with a N95-8Go also unable to navigate beyond the Joiku landing page:

"Hi,

this would be your friendly operator barring this type of internet traffic and you get stuck with the landing page. Similar problems with some other countries networks as well. Try another operator.

(hopefully this problem can be sorted out in the final release but unfortunately some operators in this world do their best to prevent the use of mobile data)

So you are not alone, Pedro.

Here is another posting from the forum on the Joiku webpage. It might help those unable to navigate beyond the browser splash screen when connected via JoikuSpot:

"Some operators are not allowing JoikuSpot landing page during first hop. If this is the case, please type the following to your roaming device' (laptop e.g.) browser: http://192.168.2.1/joikuspot-accept (This is not a clickable link, but what you should write)

It will allow direct connection to internet from JoikuSpot and you are not stucked. We shall fix this to final version.

My connection works fine without this tweak. But others have reported being stuck.

I sometimes get the "Pending" message too. Try stopping and starting Joiku on your phone. It usually works for me on the second try.

Besides, Joiku released a new beta version 1.1 on March 20.

I am unable to connect to Skype and get a message saying failed P2P. Does Skype fall into this category? I click on the Skype Icon and it's not possible to enter http://192.168.2.1/joikuspot-accept ?

Any clues about connecting the Joikuspot with the eee I have the joikuspot on my nokia N95 8GB it starts fine but my eee will not connect to it. Managed to connect once but never got it to work again, have used all the setup codes from the forum but each time it fails with the message with the error messeag (this interface is in use by another service (Ianservice.cpp: any ideas please I'm new to all this so as much detail as possible please

I have my debian laptop connected to my N95 8Gb through Joiku and it works great, fast and never hang or lose connection. My laptop uses the ipw2200 driver for the centrino wireless, it is not an EEE but the only diference is the wireless driver.
My configuration in /etc/network/interfaces is:

    iface eth1 inet static
    wireless_essid "JoikuSpot_SSID"
        wireless_mode Ad-Hoc
        wireless_key AAABBBCCCD
           address 192.168.2.30
           netmask 255.255.255.0
           network 192.168.2.0
           broadcast 192.168.2.255
           gateway 192.168.2.1

I have wep encription as you can see, when I "ifup eth1" I get this message: "Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : argument too big (max 32)" but it works fine though.

As well in /etc/resolv.conf you need:
      nameserver 192.168.2.1

If your wireless driver support ad-hoc mode this configuration should work for you as well.. Before surfing the web you have to go to joiku init page with your browser. And remember that It only works for http and https, no mail (pop, imap, smtp), no ssh or ftp, just web traffic

Enjoy it.

if you have a treo or centro, you can use PDAnet and a usb charge/data cable or i believe bluetooth as well though that wont help us on the eee pc unless you have bluetooth dongle
Ive used it with my Treo 755p and one of those retracting data/charge cables i always carry in case i need some juice..


With pdanet, carriers believe that the treo is actually browsing/downloading, though  if you use excessive bandwidth excessive  they will assume that you can not do that much browsing on your pda and may cut you off..

i use wmwifirouter with my htc mogul (sprint)

it eats up battery quickly, but otherwise works awesome with my eee.

http://www.joiku.com/?action=products&a … uct_id=310

Right side is select phone and add phone number


Install JoikuSpot
Start it up
Find the Access Point on the EeePC
Stop JoikuSpot, and close it
Open “Configure Network Connections” on the EeePC, select the AP and hit Properties
Click the “Wireless” tab.
Set Mode to “Adhoc”
Set Channel to “Auto”
Select the “TCP/IP” tab. Select “Static” from the drop down
IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
Select the “DNS” tab
Enter 192.168.2.1 as the primary server
Hit the “OK” button
Connect to the AP (Make sure JoikuSpot ISN’T running. Yes I said ISN’T) it should connect
Start up JoikuSpot and connect to the net
Browse somewhere on the EeePC - you should see the JoikuSpot splash screen

Hi all,

I got the same crashes / freezers that Tyleeer got when using Joikuspot; however, I managed to find a way around it "by hand". First up, don't use the GUI utilities to start up the wifi, and run this set of shell commands instead:

wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc
iwconfig ath0 essid "JoikuSpot_yourSpotsName"
ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.2.<any number other than 1>
route add default gw 192.168.2.1

and with the evaluation version of joikuspot, if I set my browsers proxy to 192.168.2.1, everything works.

Supplmental:

I bought the licensed version of joikuspot, and it only works if you obtain your TCP/IP settings via DHCP (which in the case of default Xandros is done via 'dhclient ath0'); it doesn't work if you try and set your EEEs IP address by hand. Which makes sense - joikuspot has a menu that allows you to accept or deny certain MAC addresses.

Just to update this thread, I have got this working on a Nokia E66 using the shell rather than through the gui as pointed out by vlchung. The gui gave me the same lock-up issues as Tyleeer too.

One thing I didnt have to do is shutdown JoikuSpot and then make the adhoc connection. I start JoikuSpot first and leave it RUNNING. Then I issue the following commands in the shell (with sudo):

wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc
iwconfig ath0 essid "JoikuSpot_yourSpotsName"
dhclient ath0

If the dhclient doesnt work for you though, then you can set it up manually in the the shell (with sudo):

ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.2.<any number other than 1>
route add default gw 192.168.2.1

so you dont have to set your browsers proxy, add, using your favourite editor:

nameserver 192.168.2.1 to /etc/resolv.conf

or if you want, you can type in the shell:

echo "nameserver 192.168.2.1" > /etc/resolv.conf

I have all this set up in a shell script. The only thing I added to the  script is:

sleep 2

after  iwconfig ath0 essid "JoikuSpot_yourSpotsName"

Another thing to note, JoikuSpot always prepends "JoikuSpot_" to whatever you set your SSID to. It puzzled me for a bit until I did a rescan and saw that it had the JoikuSpot_ prepend.

I have also tried to get the wifi working in station mode but it just isnt happening. It just will not associate with the access point even if I force it.
