No Bluetooth To Internet Via Cellphone

[clofland]

I'm experimenting with switching to pdaXrom instead of Cacko (SHARP) ROM. So far I have been VERY impressed, but, alas, I have found a showstopper. =(

I use a Socket Bluetooth card (Rev H) to connect my  760 to the Internet via Cingular GPRS with a Nokia 6230 phone.

It works with Cacko ROM, it works on my laptop, but when I try it with RC11, the phone tells me "GPRS Authentication Failed" and dumps me.

Bluetooth works for PAN connections to my network, so I know the card and bluetooth drivers are working in RC11, just something wrong in making the PPP connection with Cingular via the phone.

I have tried copying everything from the /etc/ppp dir on Cacko ROM to my RC11 ROM install, and the settings all work to dial, but same problem.

Here is the log output:

My next step is going to have to be to flash back to Cacko ROM and see how the log differs. Unfortunately, I never captured it, because it just always worked. This is a great bummer.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I will be glad to post any further details you may need if anyone wants to help.

I even tried replacing the pppd and chat binaries on RC11 with those from the Cacko ROM, but it made no visible difference.

Problem solved. It works wonderfully from the command line. I hadn't done PPP on Linux from the command line since before DSL, but it works flawlessly!

The "PPP Dialer" just seems to have problems. Command line is better anyway.

If anyone needs help, let me know. Oh, and most PPP "HOWTO" doc's say that it cannot pull DNS from the remote automatically. That isn't true, just use the "usepeerdns" option in your options file.

pdaXrom ROCKS, time to change my signature!

I have had the same experience -- just worked in Cacko but pppdialer app doesn't work in pdaXrom with bluetooth. I'm using the Socket USB bluetooth dongle, not CF bluetooth, keeping the CF slot clear for large CF flash memory card.

I'd be happy to use your command line sequence to get it going rather than a couple of hours of RTFM and forum searching -- though I'll probably need to do that at some point anyway to fine tune.

Here is a PM conversation I had, see if this works for you:

For GPRS, first try setting it up with the PPP Modem applet under System Tools, and then see if you can dial in with the PPP Dialer under Internet.

For me the dial-in number was *99#, works for most. The username password is:
WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
CINGULAR1
(case sensitive)
for Cingular, if you have another carrier, you'll have to dig (google) to find out the settings.

Under modem, the device is /dev/rfcomm0
init string is atz

make sure your phone is discoverable, and hit "search" to find the BT DUN

That should be it, and anything else obviouse that I may have forgotten to point out.

If it won't dial, then try this.

The settings you made are in /etc/ppp/peers/DIALUPNAME (whatever you set it to in the PPP Modem applet

Copy that file to /etc/ppp/options

edit /etc/ppp/options and add these config lines:
usepeerdns

I think that is it.

Then run from the command line:
pppd -d

and it should connect for you.

I may have left something out here. I played for a long time with it, and you know how we forget what we did . . .

Let me know how it goes. If it works for you, I'll post it somewhere so others can use it (and so I can refer back to it later).

thanks alot for the help..

i'm using tmobile..so i can dial *9***1# and get an ip but no access.. i've heard they have a free limited internet service...but have to look into that more... so yea, i was able to connect fine through the GUIs
the only thing i had to do before though is

rfcomm bind 0 00:02:EE:60:97:6E 1

i found that out from http://www.teaparty.net/technotes/blue-gprs.html
cheers!

Hi there - I've been struggling with this all day today. I have a C-1000 with a socket BT card, and a Treo 650 on Cingular, like you...

I get the following error when I connect:

LCP terminated by peer sent

Can you Zip up the config files you are using for the PPP connection so I can give yours a try?

TIA!

Sorry for the delay in response to everyone.

If the files are set up right, you can run:

pppd -d

to connect and

/etc/ppp/ppp-off

to hang up.

Here are the relevent files:

/etc/ppp/options

Code: [Select]

460800
/dev/rfcomm0
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -s -v ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT "BUSY" "" "AT+CGDCONT=1,\\"IP\\",\\"isp.cingular\\"" OK ATDT*99***1# CONNECT'
crtscts
noipdefault
modem
user "ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM"
defaultroute
usepeerdns
connect-delay 60000
remotename Cingular
updetach(the "connect" line is ALL ONE LINE, but most browsers wrap it)

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

Code: [Select]

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client    server    secret      IP addresses
ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM Cingular "CINGULAR1"
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets

Code: [Select]

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client    server    secret      IP addresses
ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM Cingular "CINGULAR1"(Yes, pap and chap secrets are identical)

The next file may be geneated by running

Code: [Select]

rfcomm bind 0 00:00:00:00:00:00 1where you put in the MAC address of your phone instead.

/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

Code: [Select]

rfcomm0 {
    bind yes;
    device 00:00:00:00:00:00;
    channel 1;
    comment "Generated by BT dial-up network applet.";
}(Again, be sure to put in the right MAC address if you try making the above file by hand, instead of using the command line.)
(This file and all was done for me automatically by the modem setup in RC11, so I am not sure if I have missed a step here somewhere.)

Obviously some of the passwords and dial strings are Cingular specific, and you may need to change them to meet your needs.

Let us know here in the forum if you find more information. Thanks.
