There is a flasher application for Windows, but not for the new 2006 version (only for the old one). The flasher is only needed to activate root access. But that is not necessary to set up a SSH server. Just install the packages for Dropbear and it will be ready. For SSH in your Windows machine, you can use Putty

Ok, I’m stuck in the Windows world. I see no flasher app for people like me. So is there an alternative to this method? I really, really, REALLY need to get the 770 tablet talking to nearby desktop PCs: I’m developing a web-based mobile quality auditing application and as a Nokia employee I’m urged to get the 770 to work. VPN is too problematic; sounds like ad hoc networking is the solution– but how???

Yes, of course. You can use it to communicate as many computers (including a 770) as you want, providing they are in the same network (for instance, they all have different IP addresses of the form 10.0.0.x).

Just remember to install DropBear (or any other SSH package) in both bricks .

hey — thanks for the tutorial! i’m going to try it right now. question: can brick-to-brick also be used for two nokia 770s communication to each other in a network? i.e. two bricks in which both are the gadget. or brick-brick-brick 770-770-PC network is also okay too. thanks!

The ping command is from the computer to the Nokia 770. But it is not essential. It is only to test if there is a connection between the computer and the Nokia 770.

iputils package on the Nokia 770 is not needed.
