Given JoikuSpot also does this, I assume it's easier to achieve on the handset.

Installed fine, connected fine, and connected the ipod to the wifi that it set up fine. But the moment I open safari or email etc I get a server error... looking at the connection details no DNS is being provided to the device from the phone, just an IP. Joiku worked fine first time though.<br><br>I am using an E65 so I have mailed them to see if there is anything specific I need to be aware of as I am getting no errors anywhere else etc. Shame, as this software looks otherwise amazing.

If they could get it working with the DS Lite it'd make mulitplayer games on the go an actual realistic proposition!

WalkingHotSpot works out of the box and does exactly what it should and nothing more. Love it.
