Hi,
I have wrote this wiki document and I wish someone gets his device connected to the "rest of the world" over a bluetooth connection.

FYI..
PS: Nice fiddling around..

Hi from a newbie. I've just bought the TyTn11 and would like to use bluetooth to access my laptop's internet connection. Part 1 of your instructions were easy enough to follow but part 2 confused the hell out of me - not least because I don't have a Network Cards icon from Start > Settings > Conections >. The TyTn is running WM6 if that's any help. Any pointers would be greatfully accepted

it's
Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select network
pick the item in the dropdownbox which is not called something like my isp or such
usualy the 2th item

Thanks Rudegar, I'll give it a try.

Hi,
I'm trying to get Internet over bluetooth working on my TyTN with WM6.
I've got bluetooth network access point configured on my Linux PC so part 1 is done.
In part 2 I've successfuly configured IP and DNS for Bluetooth PAN driver but I can't find the option "Join a personal network" in my bluetooth settings.
Actually I'm stuck in part 2 point 6 as there is no <u>Bluetooth Manager</u> link under bluetooth settings.
Any advice?

"select a modem" (cellular line, cellular line(gprs) , generic IrDA , hayes compatible on com1 ) , tryed with com1 but it asks user / password / domain ...
i just dont know what to do, help...

How about two pocket pc's?
I'd like to connect my bluetooth-enabled e800 through my hx4700,but there's no "connection sharing" that I can enable.Is it enabled automatically?

thankx mate for info but i have htc p3300 Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select networkit show only ( 1 my work network)(2 my ISP)which i should connect????

Hi,
I can't find out how to access this on a HTC Touch (Elf). Can someone please help?
Thanks

SubZero,
I not sure if you're instructions are correct.
From you wiki page-
Part 2: Setting Up Your HTC:
1. Go to Start > Settings > Conections > Network Cards. This option doesn't exist!
2. Tap the adapter named Bletooth PAN User Driver. You will now see IP Address tab selected in the Settings.
3. Select Use server-assigned IP Address.
Could someone who has done it on thier HTC diamond please check this?
Thank You

HOW to set: ActiveSync over Bluetooth

Guys,
I can't setup ActiveSync 4.1 to work over BT
Can you please give me more details on how to do that?
I have a Win XP laptop with builtin BT.
Martin

did you do the normal procedure? i mean pairing the two devices?
you should do it though from the device, it's more certain to work.
anyway if it didn't, try to do the following:
check the connectiond settings in AS 4.1 & make sure to check the box where it says "allow connections to one of the following:" and take note of the port #.
then go to the advance configurations on the bluetooth icon on the task bar, click on the "local services" tab, and click on "add serial port" button, choose the same port # you noted in the connection settings in AS.
that's it, you should be able to sync over BT.

How do I change name of device when connecting to activesync

I connected my MDA to my friends computer first (before I got home) and now when I connect to my computer at home the device is named WM_BillJones (fake name used). How do I change it so it doesn't use his name anymore and use WM_MyName? Not a big deal really but I just dont want his name on MY new phone :lol: .
-Chris

Click Start > Settings > System
Tap On " About"
Second Tab " Device ID"
Then Change the device name to what you want :shock:

Thank you Fozzer for such a quick reply. Worked like a champ.

Using th Prophet as a GPRS Modem??

I've searched through the forums and haven't found anything regarding this specifically... does anyone know if we can use the Prophet (I have JAMin) as a GPRS modem? I used to use my Smartphone for this and would really like to use my new Prophet, but can't figure it out. The only time my laptop recognizes the hand-set as a modem is through Bluetooth and even at that doesn't allow a connection through Dial-up networking.
I would like to connect through USB... or by any means for that matter at this point! Help!

Yes, you can use the Jamin as a GPRS modem.
Instructions for setting this up thru USB and BT are at the bottom of the page.
http://www.imate.com/t-DEVICEMANUAL_JAMMIN.aspx

Please could you post the details as I can't see the site due to not being registered.
I own a Prophet too, but not a Jamin. Would love to know how to use it as a modem.
Thanks!

Pretty much copied word for word from the iMate document. However, I did do some editing as the original doc referenced screen shots that obviously aren't here.
1. From your PC's Windows desktop, double-click on the Bluetooth icon within the System Tray (Bottom Right Hand Corner of the screen).
2. This will open the Bluetooth Devices screen. Click on the Options Tab and tick the ‘Turn discovery on’ checkbox.
3. Tap on the COM Ports Tab and click the ‘Add’ button.
4. Select the Incoming COM Ports Tab and click the ‘OK’ button.
5. Click the ‘OK’ button.
6. On the PC’s System Tray in the bottom righ hand corner of the screen, right click on theActiveSync icon and select the ‘Connection Settings’ option from the pop-up menu.
Click the ‘OK’ button to conclude the COM port configuration for Bluetooth ActiveSync.
Uncheck the ‘Allow USB Connections’ checkbox and tick the ‘Allow connections to one of the following:’
From the dropdown list, select the appropriate COM port relevant to your PC, as shown in step 5 above.
Click the ‘OK’ button to conclude the COM port configuration for Bluetooth ActiveSync.
7. On the JAMin, the Bluetooth ActiveSync connection pairing attempt is made by the following steps.
A) Tap on the Comm. Manager icon in the bottom right hand corner of the Today screen.
B) Tap on the Bluetooth icon and select ‘Bluetooth Settings…’
C) Tick the checkboxes.
D) Tap on ‘New Partnership…’
E) Select the appropriate BT device from the list, then tap Next.
F) Enter the Passkey.
8. On the PC, a balloon appears above the System Tray, prompting the user to authorize the PDA’s Bluetooth access attempt. Tap on the balloon and then enter the same Passkey/PIN as was input into the device and press the Next button is clicked. A confirmation of completion screen will then appear.
9. On the JAMin, the ActiveSync Service needs to be confirmed by ensuring the check box is ticked and then tap Finish. (I don't remember if you need to manually start ActiveSync via BT after this. If you do, just open ActiveSync on the JAMin, tap on Menu then select ‘Connect via Bluetooth’)
10. Once the Bluetooth ActiveSync link has been established, the final phase of configuration is required. On the PC, you should get a Synchronization Setup Wizard window. Press the Next button.
11. Choose the relevant options that need to be synchronized between the device and PC, from the list, and then click the next button.
12. The ActiveSync Settings are saved.
13. Synchronization of the appropriate information types then occurs with the Exchange Server and PC as defined in step 11 above.
14. Click Finish.

for the ppc to detected as a modem you have to start the modem link. make sure you do not have active sync usb enabled. then with the disk in the drive of the pc enable the modem link. the pc will detect new hardware. then install the drivers from the cd rom.

Driver installation is driving me crazy!
I hope that someone can help me out because my problem is driving me nuts!
I have all the drivers on a CD as well as stored locally (unpacked, etc). Now, when I activate the modem link and the Laptop finds a new hardware, I am not able to install this driver (it says the device is unknown, while it should say HTC Modem (or something like this)).
So, I guess the problem is that the laptop does not know which drivers it should install. How can I install the driver without going through the setup wizard??
Any ideas?? It really seems a very simple process and I feel I shouldnt get stuck on this very first step.
Thank you for any advice!

thanks whyhon, these were the instructions I followed. Everything is ok now (the modem mystrially installed after a few attempts) and the laptop is now hooked up to the s200.
The last problem I am facing right now is that I can not connect to the internet. I have tried quite a lot of different settings but I am not able establish an internet connection.
What else could I be doing wrong?

Are you dialling to GPRS using the USBModem_Dialer.exe?
Try using window XP build in dialer.
Start> connect to > HTC USB Modem (WirelessModem)
>Click properties
In the option tab, check "promtp for name and password"
Then dial using your operation's name & password.
Make sure you enable the Modem Link (USB) in your WM5.
Suprisingly, i able to connect at 230.8kbs using my Prophet.

thanks whyhon! I have tried to connect this way or with a dialer.exe.
The problem is that I am able to connect the prophet to the laptop (230.4kbps) successfully but I am not able to open any internet sites. When I check the connection I see that I am sending packages (or data I guess) but I am not able to receive anything.
I have tried a lot of settings and followed instructions very thoroughly but I can not get this connection working for the life of me.
I am about to give up on this one.
Would I be able to simply dial to a connection like AOL by using airtime minutes? Or is that also a mayor task?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank yoU!

No one has an answer to this one?? Sitting at SF airport and would like to use internet via laptop rather prophet... Please perhaps anyone can suggest a remedy? It seems to be working fine for other people so it must be something simple to fix in my configuration. Thank you guys!

Yes, I know your problem. Either you have not set the APN in the dialer to the correct server, or your mobile provider requires a proxy server for all http requests.
In the latter case, you can assign the proper proxy server in IE options to be associated with this particular modem connection.

I believe that the APN settings are correct.
I havent tried the proxy server settings in IE though.
Now, how do I assign a particular proxy setting (I guess IP address and port #, right?) to a modem only??
I appreciate your help!!

Dopod gprs via bluetooth to Mac SOLVED!!!

Hello everyone!!
I bet you're all frustrated checking this solution or that solution but in then end getting back to where you started at.
I've been there and done that and luckily for me, it's only been a week of sleepless nights to solve instead of months for some.
So, I am writing this thread from my Dopod 838 Pro, but it will work with any other Dopod/Hermes running on WM5:
Procedure by now I'm sure you will be used to:
1.Pair OSX and the phone. You might need to check the "any device" checkbox on OSX's pairing utility.
2. Verify to OSX that you do want to use that device as a modem (if you don't get that dialog, then you will need to create the Bluetooth connection yourself -- message me or leave a comment if you need instructions and I will reply to you).
3. Download the IPAQ GSM modem script at www.taniwha.org.uk
4. Go to your System Preferences/Network/Bluetooth/. There enter the following:
Service Provider: [blank]
Account Name: [check with provider]
Password: [check with provider]
Tel number: *99# THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!! (the *99***1# number doesn't work with the HTC/Dopod phones)
On PPP options uncheck "tcp header compression".
On the Modem tab uncheck both "enable error correction" and "wait for dial tone". From the modem drop-down menu select the iPaq-GSM modem script.
Then, click Apply and then open the "Internet Connect" application and select Bluetooth from there. Click "Connect" and you should now be connected on the net via GPRS/EDGE.
Please make sure you've followed the instructions carefully. It may sound like the same as others but the key is the telephone number.
Good luck!
Art.

You may also use Internet Sharing application - I find this cleaner.
Basically, you just pair the phone from the Mac (be sure to initiate pairing form the Mac side - NOT the phone).
Then, launch Internet Sharing appliation and, choose bluetooth and hit START.
Then, under the Bluetooth icon (next to the Spotlight), select JOIN NETWORK ON [HERMES BT NAME].
Voila
