Hey I have a strange problem: I have created a little script that turns on an adhoc network on my Linux notebook, this way I can share my wired internet with my phone.

Only problem: if I connect to the newly created network, it gets a 169. IP, then it looses it's connection and then it crashes.

IF it works (which is very rare, but sometimes it does) it works perfectly (then I first get a 169. ip, then loose connection and then I get a good IP from my DHCP server) DNS and everything works like a charm.

So my question is: why does it crash and what can I do about it?

If I connect to the same network with a Touch Dual I have no problems at all

If you need more info, please ask!
