Hi all, just wanted to share with the Gobo users one of the ways to connect a computer to a local Wifi wireless network, or by using and Android smartphone as a 3G modem. - Start by connecting your Android phone to the network, you can use either WiFi or a 3G connection. - Connect the USB cable from your Android to the computer. - In the Android System Settings, activate the option to make it a Hotspot by the USB. - In your Gobo applications, run in Terminology: ip link (will show your connections, there will be a USB0 or similar) sudo dhcpcd usb0 (will connect to the Android and get an IP address) - and that it! :)
