I am not very knowledgable about mac's but you should understand that the P3600 does not support Bluetooth DUN connection. You can only use it as a gateway through the Bluetooth PAN connection or via a USB cable connection.
In order to do this you must use the shared internet connection on your P3600. You can then choose to connect your mac to your P3600 via a USB cable or a Bluetooth PAN connection. Then you must select the connection your P3600 will use to connect to the internet, this is usually a GPRS/EDGE or a UMTS/HSDPA connection. The selection of both connections is done from a drop-down menu so you can't really miss it.
Good luck

Use a cable instead of bluetooth.
What is the Bluetooth Stack you are using?
I had the same problem at first. 700kb/s BT PAN connection yet I had a BT 2.0 dongle.
I was using the widcomm version 5.0.1.1100 drivers at the time.
I recently upgraded my drivers to version 5.0.1.2500 and now the connection indicates a speed of 2.1 Mb/s, it's still not the rated 2.5-3.0 EDR speed but it's much better.

After a lot of try and error, I have finally managed to activesync over bt using the provided MS BT stack and the bt tools. Currently the connection is very unstable and it can dicsonnect seconds after connecting or sometimes after about 15 minutes. What is the range of the bt on the xda 2 and will the situation improve if I get a 100m range usb dongle for my pc?

The Bluetooth radio on the XDA II is class 2. This means that its range is about 10 meters (or up to 30 meters). You can't extend the range even if you use a class 1 (100-meter range) Bluetooth dongle. I've already tried that.
Slightly off topic, I appologise...
Can any person suggest a good USB Bluetooth device with which XDA II with Active Sync?
Thanks, Ben.

I use a Billionton Class 1 Bluetooth USB dongle.
One of these:

If it works well with the XDA, that's enough for me, thanks.

illwill, can you tell me how you managed to get activesync to work over bluetooth? I cant get it to do anything, a step by step would be very helpful for myself and others. Thank you.
I use a Sitecom class I (100m) BT usb dongle and managed to get Activesync to work with my MDA II over bt connection after installing the wonderful BT Tools from Tobias Waldvogel:

You could use Pocket Bluetooth Tools (http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html).
It's free, works like a charm and it's got a guide too. The only trick my friend had a problem with, was setting up the correct COM port on the PC in PC's bluetooth settings.
have fun, let me know if you need more help.
AS over BT
Delete your pc from bonded devices on your xda II if you have it bonded
Here is how I got my bluetooth to activesync with pc. Go into ActiveSync on pc and select File-> connection settings.
Make sure that "Allow serial cable or infrared...." is checked and you have put the COM port as the BT serial port.
On your xda, turn off Bluetooth and then turn it back on.
Go to Settings->System and select Bluetooth settings
Click on the start button to start BT Activesync. You will get a message that you need to set up a device that supports BT AS, XDA will search for devices and find your pc. After bonding pc, you will get a message stating that ActiveSync BT is now setup.
Open AS and select Tools -> Connect via BT (or something), and your pc will prompt you for authorisation.
*If it all works like mine then it will connect ok but the connection will drop out as soon as you try to do anything worth while like surfing the internet over BT or syncing AvantGo*
ilwill you the man. That worked a treat. I had just about given up until i read your post. Good work mate....

Well I have this problem....
my BT software (widcomm 1.4.2) insists on setting the com port as com 10 and above...re-installed several times...same thing....and of course Active sync does not even recognize com 10.....any thoughts
one more thing worth notinh...the widcom sites speaks of a BT stack for ppc phone edition and a dev kit for it....(which do support headset and handsfree in addition to the other profiles...) so any news on where this product stands where can we get it??

My Bluetooth dongle also uses the Widcomm software. But it assigned COM7 as the Bluetooth serial port. Did you assign a serial port to any Bluetooth profile besides the ActiveSync profile?
whenever I try to assign a port to any service...it is always greater than 10!!
can this be an XP thing??

No, I also use Windows XP.
I'm not sure about this but try this if it works. Launch the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe). Then navigate to the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Widcomm\BTConfig\Services". Under that key are several keys named "0001", "0002", "0003", and so on. Look for the key whose registry value "Name" is set to "ActiveSync". In that key, change the setting of registry value "ComPortNumber" to a number lower than 10 (like 9). Then restart your PC and see if that changes the Bluetooth serial port setting.

Go to ActiveSync Connection manager. Lowest option is something like "Allow ethernet and RAS connection with this desktop". Put a check into the checkbox and you should be set.

Yes. You can either get a wireless lan SD-Card for your mini and hook into your WLAN if you have one or you get a Bluetooth dongle for your machine you are running ActiveSync on. Then setup ActiveSync and your mini to use Bluetooth as syncing connection and all will be working fine.
that there dongle..
mate thanks for your response, i have the blue tooth dongle and although it does let me conenct to my PC - it wont to the internet via my adsl until i hook up the usb cable. is there a specific bluetooth or internet setting?

versions
on the PC its 4.1 on the xda mini its whatever it comes with, why?
juan
active sync
what happens is that if i try to connect them with active sync and no usb cable (but the blue tooth dongle in my pc) it just searches comports and usb...and i get now where.

ActiveSync has no bluetooth out of the box. You have to use your Bluetooth driver software to map a virtual serial port to the bluetooth device. When this option is enabled you have to do the pairing of magician and PC again, and you need to setup the magician to use the virtual serial port as well. When both devices are set up correctly the magician talking bluetooth will appear to the PC as a device on some virtual COM port such as COM 5 or whatever. Then you can setup ActiveSync to use COM5 for serial connection (although it is bluetooth) and all is fine.
How to exactly set up the virtual com on your PC differs from BT driver to BT driver. Maybe someone can give exact step-by-step directions, it was a long fiddle for me as well...
I have a mini mac with bluetooth and wifi built in and i'm wondering how the heck I can make the Wizard connect via bluetooth and share the mac's internet connection cuz my PC doesn't have a BT adapter and i'd like to use the net w/o plugging it into USB.. all I get is "SERIAL PORT" connection and that doesn't do crap... any ideas anyone ?
BT networking is called BT PAN...the wizard still dont support bt pan...in AKU 3.2 u should have bt pan supported (i didnt tested it) but aku 3.2 is still unstable...
how about connecting using the wifi? or some sort of mac activesync? (i dunno if this even exists, i dont use mac)
in ur case the easier solution is to try to put ur mac in ap mode or something like that so the wizard can connect to it...dunno even if this is poossible in mac...

Unfortunately, it won't be usable for such purposes. I've thoroughly tested it (see my BT PAN-related articles) and it's way weaker than the Widcomm PAN implementation.
What are you talking about?
Why are you trying to use BT for internet connection? You do know that the wizard has wifi right?
Just go to System Preferences>Sharing>Internet and turn on internet sharing from ethernet through your airport card. If your mini connects through your airport card then you must have a wireless router already in which case you can just access that from the Wizard directly.
Yeah I can't do that i have no wireless router here lol.. i guess ill just put it in WIFI AP mode on the mac.. even though wifi owns my battery lol, thanks for the help
I seem to be missing the Wireless modem app. Supposed to be in the programs folder, right? Using vp3Gs WM6. I'm trying to use my 8525 as a bluetooth fax. I have been searching the threads and internet, all instructions point to this program, but I don't know why it is not on my phone. Also, when I discover available services on my phone from my laptop, Dial up networking does not show up, how come? Please help.
Edit: DUN and internet sharing now working, still working on BT fax
DUN
With WM6 you have Internet Sharing. DUN is no longer included.
If you hook up your laptop via the USB cable to the phone and run Internet Sharing you will be fully connected to the internet.
Good luck mate,
Andrew
OK, thanks for the help. Now what about using the phone as a bluetooth fax modem?

Well so it should on WM5 as well be but for some reason i can only use the internet sharing via bluetooth only when
1. launch internet sharing on Tytn and connect with Bluetooth PAN
2. Launch mobile internet explorer and navigate a page or 2 on the tytn.
3. launch bluetooth network connection onlaptop and connect.
4. restart IE or Firefox on laptop and cross your fingers,
it never has worked when doing via USB.
annoying because i run out of power often when using bluetooth for any legnth of time
BT Fax
If you do a search in the WM6 forum you will see a post about BT DUN on WM6. I got it working for my TomTom 910, BT Fax ought to be the same.
Edit:
go to the last post on the first page

Bluetooth fax?
OK, so far, so good.
I used the above links and got internet sharing and DUN to work over bluetooth. Any info on getting BT faxing to work. When I go to my laptops (Dell xps m1210) control panel, phones and modems, I see BT modem, and BT faxmodem, but when I query them under the diagnostics screen, it says the modem fails to respond.
i looked in so many forums but with no luck... how do i connect ics between my htc touch and my laptop through bluetooth?. is it free like the usb based one? how is the speed compared?
THANKS
If both the devices are BT 2.0 with EDR you can expect about 1MB of transfer rate, which is good but is a low speed if you compare it with the USB transfer rate.
Via USB i can download from internet at average speed of 590 MBps (almost 5 Mbps)
how do i connect my pc to the ics on my pda through bluetooth though
Do the pairing between the pc and the smarphone, then (on the SP) go to the app internet sharing, choose the correct data profile an the bt mode, then on the pc go to "connections" > BT connections and click connect.
If you have a BT stack different from the M$ stack the procedure may vary a little. (usually the lan BT connection is called PAN or NAP)
