OSX BT Networking with Wizard

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

internet using bluetooth over xda II mini

hello,
how do i use serial port profile on xda II mini to connect it at my bluetooth internet shares? xda II mini support spp (serial port profile) but as i tick on 'outgoing/incoming port' on it remains BLANK. The only thing it could do is bluetooth pairing...
my bluesoleil is working fine on symbian phones on internet connection but this w/c i expect to be much easier turns out the opposite.
wbr,

if your profile support PAN then
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
otherwise if you are connected to activesync over bluetooth you have
the same network access as the pc unless you turned it off

thanks for reply and info, but xda II mini seems to miss out BLUETOOTH PAN USER DRIVER (under start -> settings -> connections -> network cards).
the only available are:
NE2000 Compatible ethernet driver
L2TP NDISWAN miniport
AsyncMac NDISWAN miniport
PPTP NDISWAN miniport
another problem is im using a client machine behind XP ICS host, setting another ICS on client xp machine will now use the same 192.168.0.1 ip, my other option is to set the bluetooth PAN on the host. Any other ideas?
wbr,

using xda activesync is also a problem, whenever i click on 'activesync' -> 'connect using bluetooth', nothing happens. but click on the 'connect using IR' it looks for a host... i read somewhere that removing bluetooth pairs will help but no luck.
sorry, im quite new on xda's
wbr,
p.s. im using xp sp2

"y other option is to set the bluetooth PAN on the host."
if your pda dont have PAN then doing anything with PAN on the pc will result in nothing in related to your pda

== all the guides you could wish for for setting up activesync using bluetooth
it may be an easier option to use wifi or wifi adhoc
if your pda dont have wifi you can buy an SDIO card which have wifi

if you get bluesoleil on your mini then you can use pan and spp works as well

bluetooth network access

i'm trying to connect my windows mobile device (himalaya/wm05) to my local network via bluetooth. i plugged a bluetooth stick supported by bluez into my already 24/7 running linux server. i read some articles describing how to set pand up on the linux side, however i see no option to connect to a nap in wm05. afaik ms uses pan when using your laptop to access the net via gprs/edge/umts/ by using the smartphone as a nap. is this a issue of microsoft not supporting client mode, and does the broadcom stack support this?
here is some info

[Q] Bluetooth tether from Transformer to Droid Incredible?

Will the Asus Transformer support bluetooth DUN to tether to an android phone (I have a Droid Incredible) with pdanet/similar? I'd prefer bluetooth vastly to using a wifi setup due to battery drain. Has anyone poked around and seen if it can be done? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it will to a point. On the xoom, bluetooth tethering is built right into honeycomb.
But the one problem is the only program I've got it to work with it the bluetooth tethering with the Wireless Tethering app. PDAnet won't work. I tried it with several phones.
Just fire up one of the older versions of wireless tether with bluetooth still included, and fire up bluetooth tehtering then it should show up as an option under the phone after you've paired the tablet with it.

Works great on my (much older) HTC hero so shouldn't have any problems on the Droid incredible.

Bluetooth Tether to Transformer?
I just want to clarify the original question... I would assume that you mean you want to tether your 3G connection from your phone to your ASUS Transformer?
I would like to know if it works from my Droid 1 to the Asus Transformer, just like the Xoom does. I tested this function at a store with the Xoom and it was easy and flawless. Just hoping it works on the Transformer.
Rooted Droid 1 (Wireless Tether App) -Stock rooted Froyo 2.2.2 (FRG83G)
Wireless Tether App in is Bluetooth mode.

Yup, that's what I meant: Take the 3g connection from my phone, and give it to the Transformer (by tethering the Transformer to the phone).

I have the same question regarding BT DUN tethering. I think the default BT tethering in the Android Honeycomb is BT PAN (not DUN). If anybody can confirm that Honeycomb does have a BT DUN profile, that will be great.
I'm currently using PDANet as well to tether my Evo to my netbook. It works great.
If the honeycomb does not support BT DUN, then most likely I would have to root my Evo and install another custom ROM just to enable the BT tethering.

I have my rooted Motorola Atrix tethered via Bluetooth to share my 3g connection on my transformer. Works a treat and the speed us very good.

Probably great news!!!

Sounds like this will probably work for my rooted Droid 1 then. Maybe this is a feature of honeycomb, the processor or something. At first I was thinking the Xoom worked because both devices were made by Motorola.

My Transformer isnt showing the PAN service from my Samsung Galaxy running Wireless tether
Root in bluetooth mode.
Yes i have allowed the program access in superuser.

Bluetooth tetherng
Does this mean my phone has to be rooted before I can tether it to my TF? I really don't want to root my droid if at all possible. I've seen what has happened to my sons iPad. It was a mess! Also, what app am I installing on my Droid? There are no mention of any apps I need to install.
Thanks!

Did you tether your atrix to transformer using the app pdanet Bluetooth (DUN)? Can you tell us exactly how you set this up? I'm in the midst of getting an atrix and I'm just wondering beforehand. Thanks a lot.

I use wireless tether using bluetooth on my incredible just fine. I am, however, rooted and using CM7, but it can be done. You have to pair the wo together of course.

I was having difficulty connecting my Magic running CM6 to my Transformer via Bluetooth until I was told to install the Bluetooth File Transfer app first. Did that and it connected just fine after.

bluetooth tethering
Eeepad and htc hero.
Htc hero is rooted and the froydvillian 1.7.2-r2 rom and android version 2.2.1.
Installed wireless tether from the market (free).
Eeepad transformer has android honeycomb 3.1 newest update from asus website.
Paired thru bluetooth then start up wireless tether on the phone and there is the extra function under the wrench at the bluetooth menu from the eeepad.
I also enabled bluetooth tethering on the eeepad.
Works great and fast......

Is it posible to tether Nook Color by DUN (BT or USB)?

I only found one post talking about bluetooth PAN for Nook Color, but I don't know exactly what the difference is between DUN and PAN. I am tethering my iPod Touch with a Nokia phone using iBluever, and very happy with it. Is it possible to have something like iBluever so that I can surf anywhere with the Nook Color?

Yes there's a tether ap that attaches via bluetooth pan from your phone.
You can get wireless tether for root (from a websearch), install that and use bluetooth pan option and then use your nook off of the tether program. (easily searchable in marketplace).

No, I'm asking about DUN, not PAN. I don't think my Nokia 5230 support PAN.

Opps my bad, no idea about the dun.
