Use Universal under Linux as UMTS modem

I would like to use my MDA pro as Modem under Linux (Ubuntu 5.10).
I tried it with USB connection and with Bluetooth, both with no luck.
My Question is, wether someone got this working and if yes, I would like to ask then also for a kind of howto, please.

umts modem
HI, I connect my universal via bluetooth under linux to /dev/rfcomm0 by using rfcomm tools. Next I run pppconfig tool to create a new connection, dialed number is *99# username and password - none..
On universal
1] start wireless modem over bluetooth
On linux box
1] # pon connectionname
tail -f /var/log/messages -- look at this for debug
connection may works fine for me..
at first can you pair your device with linux of course
sorry for my bad english..

hi!
i'm a linux newbie and have some problems to get my mda connected via usb to an ubuntu 5.10 distribution.
could someone please explain me how to use rfcomm? when i connect the mda, how can i find out name, port and mac adress of the device?
is there a tool out there, which shows me some informations for attached usb devices?
it would be very nice if someone could give me a step-by-step instruction for connecting my mda correctly to my pc and connecting both via umts to the internet.
on windows i got the usb-modem dialer which allows me to enter an apn. how do i handle this under ubuntu?
sorry for the newbie questions and my bad english. anyhow i hope someone would help me.
many thanks and best regards
sebone

If your bluetooth is working correctly, you have to set a rfcomm device.
# hcitool scan
this show you mac address of your bt device
# rfcomm connect 0 MAC channel
this can make a node rfcomm0 in /dev
instead of channel you can type number from 1 to x
I don't remember exact number of channel..
right number can test for example with minicom.

thanks for your reply but i need to get it working via usb connection.
is anybody able to help me in this case?
thank you very much.

usb modem
However, I'am didn't find any usb modem linux drivers for universal ..
BT is best choice for now.

VPN and Vista

Hi there,
I'm trying to set up a VPN connection via WifI with my pc. Currently the os Vista Ultimate is installed. I created a VPN in Vista. For some reason i can't connect with my trinity. I tried multiple settings in both Vista and my ppc.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to connect to Vista trough VPN anyway? If so, what are the exact settings
Thanks
ppc wm5 with original gps upgrade from trinity

Anyone?

Are you able to get an activesync connection established?

Try to turn off all firewall settings.

Newbie question. What's a VPN and why do you want it for?
Sorry, i'm just curious.
Thanks very much,

How to share files/folders between pc and ppc through WiFi

Hi Friends !!!
I want some way for sharing files between pc and ppc with wifi . i was bored from connecting my phone to pc by Cable .
can anybody help ? PLZ
My phone is HTC Diamond

total commander is an easy way to access shares from a pda
but of cause the pda have to be a valid user to the share like any other
computer trying to access a shared storage

You can also install an ftp server like Mocha ftp. After you have started the ftp server, you can use your favourite ftp client on the PC to access the files on the PPC - no need to poke/type on the PPC all the time if you're in front of a PC already.

Sorry but can u explain more about this ftp network .
i dont have any experience with FTP . what apps should i have ?
in pc ? in ppc ? :|
Sorry , but can u help with mocha ftp ? how is it work ?
and one thing more that how can i find my pc and ppc 's IP ?

remote desktop? u can rdp from the ppc to the pc and enable the disk share thing.

Resco File Explorer! It's Shareware - but works very well...
You see windows-shares-NAMES, no IP!
lg....

Mocha ftp is a free download from http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ftpd.htm. You can find the license key just below the download button.
Once you have started the Mocha ftp server you should set a username and password in File -> Settings and then click on the Start button. The IP Address of the PPC is displayed on the status page of Mocha ftp server.
Now you should be able to use ftp://username:[email protected]_address from your desktop, or the command line ftp client, or any other ftp client.
Hmm, I just tried ftp://username:[email protected]_address from Windows Explorer and it did not work :-(
I don't know a good Windows ftp client, because I don't use Windows normally. Maybe someone else can help there.

Start - Settings - connections - WLAN - 2nd tab you see your ip, but switch your wlan on.

Or use LANview, there you see all ip's in the network

Hi Boys .... I thank all your efforts for my problem .... TNX
I downloaded ( SmartFTP ) ftp client for windows and i tried to connect to my phone but it says :
[19:15:57] Resolving host name "169.254.26.25"
[19:15:57] Connecting to 169.254.26.25 Port: 21
[19:15:26] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
[19:15:27] Connect failed. Waiting to retry (30s)...
[19:15:27] Client closed the connection.
I Don't know what to do . HELP ME PLZZZZZZZ !!!!!!

Just to make sure: is 169.254.26.25 the same IP address you see in Mocha ftp server? And you clicked on "Start" in Mocha ftp server, so you see "State: online"?
If yes, it is possible that the Mocha ftp server is not compatible with SmartFTP (although it should work, but it did not work for me with Windows Explorer or KDE konqueror).

I Tried with almost all programs , but .................
Isn't there any other way except ftp ???

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467877 it works

I usually use hfs file server. Very simple and powerful but can not do folders. The best for files. Be anywhere with a wifi connect & download from your pc running hfs direct to your phone.
Mocha is nice too. Use Total commander's ftp abilities on your pc while mocha is running on your phone.
I will say for large files such as a 500+ mb avi, a card reader is faster.

transferring files to g1 from my computer without the usb cable

Hey all, I was very surprised that i couldnt find any info on this by googling or searching forums...
i have an apk i want to send to my phone, but i don't have the usb cable with me.
my phone is rooted and is running JFV1.3 and i want to be able to use telnet or ftp or something (file sharing?) to transfer files to it but i can't seem to see how to do it - am i missing something? is this impossible for some reason?
please help, i really wanna try out this thing and i have no patience to wait till i get home and look for my cable...
Thanks,
E.

Well you could either try to telnet into the phone after running telnetd, run an ssh or ftp server in debian, or (more simply) start an apache server on your desktop and host the file then download it off your phones web browser.

huh?
can you do that again, but slowly?
I've tried to connect with scp and couldn't, i have also tried telneting to it and could, that was allot of fun )) but i didn't know how to send files
I'm gonna try installing an ftp on my machine and d/ling a client from the market and connecting to my pc and getting it from there, see if that works...
but seriously can u elaborate on the other ideas u gave?
Edit:
Yay, ftp server on PC and ftp client on phone and now i have my game on!
thanks guys, any thoughts about samba file sharing?

Oh yeah maybe telnet won't let you send files by default. Glad to see you got it working.

Internet help!!!!!!

How do i set my internet to authentication mode?
I have id and password. But how do i put them in the PDA and
connet to internet??
I have a ipaq hx2750 with a wm 6.5

If you are talking about a WiFi connection then the device should ask you to enter the key after it finds the network. There is not much difference in connecting to a WiFi network with WM6.5, other than the new skin...

Its not just regular wifi. Its authentication mode.
Where you have to put in an id and a password.
Its different from other ntework keys where in other
ones you would just put in a passord with out an id.

You could read a Windows Mobile manual...
Try the Connection Tab under settings. When you've opened up your WiFi networks you can tap on them and change settings like acces mode etc.

where would this manual be?

I dont think a manual will help. Do you know the name of the authentication software used for connecting to this network?
Anyway try this program. Connect your phone using active sync and install it through the computer because there is no CAB file for this program.
Let me know if it works for you.

How do I even install it thorugh active sync?
I'm a noob.....how do I start active sycn anyways?
Plz help me...........

First off, do you have Windows Xp, Vista or Mac?
If it's XP you must install activesync from here
Install it and connect your device to your computer using the USB cable or bluetooth. When a connection is established, open the file I attached before and follow the instructions to install.
If you have Vista, you need Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)
If it is not already installed, download it from
here
Install and plug your device to your computer to establish a connection and follow the previous instructions.
If you have MAC, download the sync program from here
Install and follow previous instructions.
Hope this helps

Okay i got it installed but the problem is
the program does not show up on my
start menu or anywhere.......
where can i access this program?

You cant see it installed. Once you turn on wifi, go to start>settings>connections>wifi and select the network you are trying to connect to. In the dropdown menu where you select the security type of the network, select the Securew2 instead of wep or wpa and then the program opens and you can edit the settings.

Hm......i really don't see it........................................
