Help with adb shell?

Hello All,
Sorry if I'm not posting in the right place, but this seems to be the thread with most traffic...

Also, apologies if I am asking stupid questions - I'm a total noob with Android, no programming experience + a woman (not blonde though, so there is some hope )

Thanks to everyone who has contributed (you guys are awsome!). So far I have managed to:
- root the T1 (easy!)
- install Link2SD and transfer some of the apps to the SD card
- sync Google calendar, install gmail client + Astrid tasks (which I loooove!)

What I am trying to do is share my Nokia 5800 internet connection with the T1 so that I can surf the net when I am, say, at the park with my kids. Just thought I'd give it a try, if it's impossible, fair enough.

I have installed JoikuSpot light on the Nokia and have been able to connect with a laptop and an ipad, so that's working. I understand thought that Android devices don't like adhoc networks, which is a requirement for JoikuSpot to work. So I found some instructions here: http://androidtablethacks.com/androi...droid-tablets/, dowloaded the package and copied the wpa_supplicant file to the "Reader" directory on my T1 (wasn't sure where to put it, but saw in the video tutorial the guy puts it in root).

The unzipped adhoctablets folder sits in the root of a PC running Vista (C: drive, but I have tried this on a Macbook as well, with the same result)
Now I am able to enter the adhoctablets directory in the terminal window, but when I enter the "adb shell" command I get an "error:device not found" message. If I enter "adb devices" it says "List of devices attached", and there is nothing, so I gather it's not seeing the T1 (which is connected through USB, but file sharing is not enabled, and USB debugging is).

I have also managed to install version 1.19.3 of Busybox as I read somewhere that might be causing the problem, but unfortunately that hasn't helped.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated (and apologies for the long post)!
Cheers
Mumant
