Has anyone succeeded in using GPRS over XDA II from a Mac?

???
I've created a virtual serial port on the Mac, and installed generic GPRS modem scripts. This got me as far as having the PowerBook "wake up" the XDA and it appears like it tries to dial, but always fails.
The error message varies. Most often it is "A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again." Sometimes I get "The connection has failed. Please verify your settings and try again."
It is interesting to note that the Mac (PowerBook G4 17" 10.3.5) doesn't recognize the XDA as a mobile phone. It sees it only as a PDA, and sees the service profiles:
Service Discovery
Voice Gateway (what the hell is that??)
SSA

stack?
Which bt stack are you using? I
tried the widcomm, and my powerbook can see that the xda2 offers network services, but the mac bt stack doesn't have that capability. I'm praying I can bridge the 802.11 in the xda3 to do this.

I know it has been months since you posted this but did you guys ever Solve the issue ?????

Nope. XDA II, pda2K, and C500 Smartphone testes, and none will work.

Bluetooth Modem

I have just upgraded to WM6. I was using my Xda Exec as a blutooth modem for my laptop. But there is no dial up service in the new Rom. I am unable to use it as modem anymore. Can somebody, please help me to use it as modem? When I pair it with my laptop there is only one service option "Network Access Point" is available and when I try to connect the following error msg appears "connection from (Phone)" is denied. I am using Blutooth stack by Toshiba (Dell 350).

Toshiba bluetooth stack doesnt work with WM6.0, upgrade to Vista and use the default MS bluetooth.

Thanks for your advice. Can I use usb cable to make WM6 as a modem? If it is, then how?

toshiba stack 5.10.06 works fine with wm6 and with reg hack u can use it as a router over bluetooth so you can connect more then one computer, im using dells 350 bluetooth .

I installed that version but still same situation..... "connection from (Phone) is denied". Can you please let me know how to connect?

The only way that I have got this to work is to
- connect from Internet Sharing on the PDA; then
- connect from PC
this will get a connection, but the IP/DNS settings in the PAN network seem incorrect (set to 192.168.81.1, but not gateway or DNS).
- while connected, set the IP address and DNS settings in the PAN Network driver on the PC to obtain automatically, and the connection should then work.
A pain...

RESOLVED: Bluetooth PAN Internet Sharing question

I'm not sure if I'm the only daft bat that does this. But in the past i would use my Hermes under wm6 as a Bluetooth Pan Internet sharing connection with my BA as it had the ability to either Host or establish a Bluetooht PAN link.
Since i've upgraded the BA to Wm6 I've noticed that as with my hermes the betowrk options are severly depreciated. and now when i search for Bluetooth services on the hermes it only shows Dial up networking but doesn't give you the option of Bluetooth PAN as a service it can find or give. also Can not set the init string to send to Bluetooth modem if choosen. thusly cannot tell it the access point etc.etc.
Is there any advise possible to help me link the BA with my hermes using Bluetooth PAN for the internet sharing through the hermes ( yea i know but HSDPA is far faster then the BA's basic 3g hehehe)
RESOLVED: the problem is in the Bluetooth stack of this rom. in short the Wm6 rom appearantly can't find a PAN connection at all as I tried to find the one on my PC at home and it definatly didnt' show anything accept a serial port. However my hermes could see the personal network conenction and once reflashed to the t-mobile latest rom it can now establish a PAN network conenction with pc or hermes300.
guess the bluetooth profiles in the rom for the BA in wm6 are a bit lacking at moment

It works great in Vista
Hi,
My Vista has automatically recognized my Hermes. No need to define a modem or connection string. Just run the Internet Sharing on Hermes and then it is seen in Networks and Sharing Cetner. I just open my IE and it works.

cool, only problem here is that my Hermes 300 ( t-mobile vario II) using Schaps 3.54c Wm6 Rom has the bluetooth Pan driver for internet sharing, as well as the modem link yea? And the Blue angel now being Windows mobile 6 doesn't show like Wm2003 did. in Wm2003 you could create a Bluetooth Netowrk connection for PAN to the hermes. Or a bluetooth serial connection to the hermes Modem link. Now it only shows Dial up networking in both since they are both wm6. And also doesn't give you the option of an init string entry in the advance network options for the AT+CGD init string that also lists the part "ip", "general.t-mobile.uk" which is the access point when doing Bluetooth DUN.
How would i establish a PAN connection to the hermes Internet sharing with the BA under Wm6 from helmi is the real question?

Ok I can assume then nobody else has 2 windows mobile 6 devices and tries to have one work via the other or nobody other then me has tried this.
Hermes300 windows mobile 6
Blue angel Helmi Windows mobile 6
cannot make a Pan connection in either direction Hermes to Blue angel, or Blue angel to hermes.
this means potentially people with Pda's ( ie: Compaq or HP Ipaq's runnign Wm6 ) or other mobile with wm6 will not be able to use the Helmi rom for internet sharing and really are better off leaving WM2003se on as has more compatability in that regard.
If however others have tried this and found a way to get it working please post =)

Me too

I have two WM5 devices and am having exactly the same problem! I always through DUN was simple enough, but I am not going to get in to a debate about it versus Internet Sharing BUT why the hell did MS remove the "client" functionality? It is all very well and good if your Internet Sharing device (i.e. WM5 or 6 phone) is going to be the "server" but what if it is the client (as many PDAs will be).
I see no way of doing it! Anyone?

you can still use the Modem link if you can get it to create a serial port bluetooth link , ie: pair the devices and select Serial Port. then under the connections then you would tell it to use Bluetooth Modem
and put in the advanced dialing string for bluetooth DUN.
there are a few threads about bluetooth DUN on this forum.
the only thing i can thnk of that would make this not work however is if the roms your using are cooked roms and the profiles in the bluetooth stack are missing on 1 or both for the features suggested.
this is what stopped me from having this work as the wm6 on the Hermes and on the Helmi rom are missing the profile for HOSTING a PAN directly without internet sharing and dont' offer bluetooth serial port as an option
