Bluetooth Help - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I have developed a custom blutooth service running on my PC. I wish to now create a PPC client which employs this service.
From my PPC I can find all bluetooth device names and address but are unable to perform a service discovery on them. I have spent days going through all the winsock docu's to no prevail.
My PPC is an i-Mate XDAii running WM4.2.
Is this possible on 4.2 or do I need a WM5.0 device?
Does anyone know where I can find some PPC specific code?
Any help is appreciated
Regards

need help with Antha VPN and/or WM5 network config

hi,
I recently bought the Antha VPN Client to get access to my university WLAN
(via Nortel gateway).
The software runs properly on WM5 except that it can't connect to anything at all. I do not know if it is a Antha VPN problem, a WM5 problem or a hardware problem with the MDA pro. The software seems not to recognize the built in WLAN of the MDA pro (at least I connot select WLAN among the networks).
But it also won't work with "Internet" ot "ISP". If I chose "ISP" it starts to connect, but then disconnects.
Maybe anyone of you has experience with VPN clients on the MDA pro.
How are the profiles in WM5 "Internet", "ISP", "Work" etc, related to each other?
Is there any hidden firewall, or the T-mobile branding blocks the software etc.?
Thank you very much for every idea and best regards,
Elias
I also had issues with Antha and conatct support where i was told that M5000 (Universal)is not supported yet and that they also have issues.
Unfortunately when i looked at the supported systems i thought that i had seen the SPV M5000 (or Universal or whatever it is called) but it was another one with a similar name.
I think we have to wait until they find a fix for it.
Unfortunately there are not a lot of VPN's out there which work with Windows Mobile 5. I tried NCP Secure Client, but don't get it working either, but this is maybe because of parameter. You may give this one a try.

my 2 cents... give your sysadmin a tip and switch to openvpn, hassle free and damn-working ssl-based vpn. There is a openvpn pocketpc client in the works, and it's running pretty fine.
See you at the openvpn pocketpc forum

Bluetooth ActiveSync with ThinkPad T60

ActiveSync service is not available while trying to look for the available services offered by my T60 on TMobile MDA. I have the latest TMobile release Rom on my MDA and Latest bluetooth drivers of Broadcom on the Laptop. I can only see SerialPort and a couple of other services but not ActiveSync, so when I try to connect via bluetooth from MDA ActiveSync it says that there is no partner ship containing ActiveSunc service. I followed thru every post on this forum as well as GeekZone forums but no luck so far. Has anybody resolved this, is it just me. I need help from the Gurus here (please)

Surf the net with bluetooth and home connection

Hi all,
I've seen a lot of threads specifying how one would go about using the bluetooth to share the phone's internet connection. However, I would like to do the opposite, that is, share the PC's internet connection via bluetooth so that I can surf the net on my phone (I do not have wifi). Any help would be most appreciated.

many more hits of you use search and search "bluetooth AND modem"
thanks for the reply, but i already know how to do this. Perhaps you didn't understand my question; I do not want to use my XDA as a bluetooth modem. I would like to use my home ADSL connection via bluetooth to access the internet through my phone. This feature was there by default in my SE P910i, and I'm sure it should be possible to do this via my XDA as well. Once again, I do NOT want to use my XDA as a bluetooth modem
when connected to activesync pda's have the same network access as the pc they are connected to unless one have disabled it
so synch with bluetooth to your pc and you got it's internet

I'm successfully running such a setup, using Linux (w/ bluez stack) on the Internet Gateway. However, I had only luck with the Widcomm stack on the Windows Mobile, w/ the MS stack, I could not manage to find any way to use DUN or NAP. With Widcomm, you can configure access via a "Bluetooth Access Point", which will use DUN services on the Host (Gateway) computer. On Linux, this means setting up dund (comes with bluez) and configuring a PPP profile for it.
Any idea if Widcomm BT stack is available for installing it on WM5. I think mine is with MS by default and couldnt find an option to configure it.
I think it isn't offered for free to the public. Nevertheless, there seem to be a few CABs with the broadcom/widcomm stack out there in the WWW. Google might lead you the way...
Thanks a lot for the feedback guys.
I have succesully used DUN with both my original iMate Jamin ROM and PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 ROM to access the internet via a linux box running Bluez and dund.
I was hoping the new PAN profile in wm6 would allow me to simplify and setup a standard wm6 PANU -> linux NAP. However it looks like wm6 only supports running as a NAP and wont allow you to do that unless your connected to the internet via GRPS etc.
Is it possible to either add support for PANU in wm6 or activate the NAP without an active connection?

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

Using SIM card on Vista side for voice communications and to send faxes

Dear all,
I have a question: is there any way to use the SIM card from within the Vista side to be able to send and receive faxes. I guess this would have to involve configuring the winmo modem on the Vista side? If this is at all possible, the modem could also be used to make phone calls as well.
I would really appreciate if someone would guide us through this and how to get this achieved.
Many thanks,
Samer
I doubt it - the internet access in Vista isn't "dialup" as Vista doesn't see the device as a modem. As far as I'm aware, it is an NDIS interface over USB.
You could of course use an internet fax service.
Regards,
Dave
Skype can now send faxes but you need to download and install the extra software for it to be able to send faxes.
Thank you guys for your replies. I was just wondering if there is a driver if installed on the Vista side will be able to unlock the sim card from the phone side, which means we can then use it for voice and fax communications using the tools we find under vista. I know other ppc phones can be configured as modems when connected through a cable or bluetooth. I hoped we could do the same here.
Thanks,
Samer
