Stupid Bluetooth Question

[laur]

Uh, I know it will seem easy once you point me in the write direction. I have a BT (USB) dongle that I use for my laptop, which can bond with my mobile phone so I can use it as a modem.

If I plug the BT dongle into my C1000 (using the new Cacko OS) - what do I need to do to make it work?

Thanks in advance

Hi folks!

I tried to connect a 3100 (Cacko 1.23) with a SuSE 10 Desktop using Belkin usb-bluetooth (F8T012). I followed the HowTo on oesf to create a PAN: first I tried the PAN-Applet. With Desktop as "listening", Zaurus will find the desktop-adapter (nice blue applet on KDE and "connected" on Zaurus). Ping Zaurus->dekstop is OK, Desktop->Zaurus does not work.
Any idea how to configure SuSE/KDE??

The second way
on Zaurus
  pand --role PANU --service NAP --connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --nodetach
  ifconfig bnep0 10.0.0.2
  route add default gw 10.0.0.1
and
  ifconfig bnep0 10.0.0.1
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
 on desktop
no error message, but also no ping?

Most people seems to use  Win-Desktops. Is there any Linux-user with an idea??

yours

I picked up a small bluetooth dongle at Fry's its by Cables Unlimited. It was 29 USD.
I got it to work with my laptop and my mobile phone (moto V760).

The BTDongle uses the Widcomm Driver (FYI)

So this is what I did for my C1000 (further known as Gimlet).
I went into network and chose BT-PPP. Then for each tab as follows:
I setup my ISPaccount.
For modem I took the BT Device /dev/rfcomm0
Network, added my ISP's DNS servers.
Left proxies alone.
Bluetooth, I checked Bind and then had my mobile phone search for Gimlet. I then got a "Bind with Zaurus" message on my mobile. Once I responded Yes, I was asked for the Binding code and I entered 1234. Once I did that, the Devices and BT address fields were filled in.

I was then able to then connect to the internet - though sometimes I get a message box that reads "TCP error" when in either the Opera or NetFront browsers. Still sorting that out. once I can do that with no errors then it is off to email.

If anyone has ideas about the "TCP" error please let me know.

did you purchase digital access through your phone?

No - (why?) and again I do not have this issue when I connect this way with my Laptop computer.

12:00 Update: The problems has been resolved? It seem I only ge the error when using the NetFront Browser, I was able to connect with NO issues via Opera. And I have now been able to send and recieve email.

So this Bluetooth Dongle WORKS

This is great - since I used a friends Bluetooth USB dongle and after a few intial trieds couldnt get it to work. I really didnt try hard.

So now that it works (and thanks for the help in stating how), I can get a dongle .
Another question though - how is it possible to "BEAM" a contact from the KaPI via Bluetooth dongle to the phone or vice-versa ? Since my phone doesnt have a IrDA port, I want to "beam" via bluetooth. Is this possible ? Or is the beam a totallly Irda based transport mechanism ?

Thanks in advance
