Hi Guys
I just got a new laptop and paired my laptop with my phone.
So I have "Dial Up Networking" as an option. It asks for USERNAME/PWD and the NUMBER to dial.
I was wondering can I use the BT Dial Up for connecting my laptop to my phone and tether. It works when connected over cable.
Thank you!
Bump - ------
I did not have to do any of that, just go to internet sharing on the Mogul turn it on and connect the Mogul to the Laptop using your USB and that's it, at least that worked for me.
..... that if I understood what you are trying to do correctly, also I haven't tried it with Bluetooth though!!!!
Yeah it already works for me when using a USB cable using the internet sharing.
I was hoping that I could ditch the cable now that my laptop has BT and it has paired up with my mogul!

I have a HTC Wizard, I just got it today.
I would like to setup the internet connection via bluetooth, untill I can buy a wifi adapter for my pc.
I have checked the guid on this site, but my wizard does not have the Bletooth PAN User Driver, so I can't select it. Has anyone gotten this to work on the wizard? All help will be appreciated. I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I could not fin it.
Please help!
if you can get activesync to work via bt then you can surf fine.
thnx, about 5 minutes before you posted I got active sync working over bluetooth. It was a pain...activesync with the USB cable was seriously screwing with my pc, it rebooted my pc as soon as the sync began. But after some hours I got it to work over bluetooth. Thank god, i;m not touching these settings ever again. (i hope the update activesync will solve all these problems)"
Thnx again for your suggestion

I am new with wizard.
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.

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.
Ive tried and tried wmodem and pdanet but they no longer work for me tethering between my mac and my mogul via bluetooth with the new htc 3.35 rom. When I click unable bluetooth DUN on pdanet it says "unable to assign com port please make sure com7 or com4 is available on your device. bluetooth dun will remain off (err=2404)".
can someone help?
thanks
Juts a guess but the new radio assigns Com4 to the GPS which may be why PDANet has an issue.
My guess is PDANet will have to be updated to be a bit more flexible on which com port it wants.
PDAnet was working for me...

I did have it working without any mods. Then, it quit working. In my case, I had installed ICS, which I never did get working. Then, PDAnet stopped working. I tried removing/reinstallong (after uninstallling ICS), to no avail. I may just reflash the phone to get it all back to original components, and try PDAnet again.
I have the same issue with the new ROM and the "USB modem" program from www.mobile-stream.com. When I set it to "Connection: Bluetooth" and click "Enable" it doesn't turn on.

It's easy enough to move the internal GPS to COM5, and the GPS works fine that way. So that will free up COM4 for PDANet. Unfortunately, it still won't make Bluetooth DUN work. The only way that I've been able to tether is through a wired PDANet connection. That works fine.
Gil - You using XP, Vista or something else?
I noticed that on Vista you can not get BTDUN (even on the stock roms) unless you were operating under an administrator account or stopped the BT tools in Vista and ran them under the administrator account.
For that reason I have always tethered via USB and skipped trying to do it via BT...though BT would be much cooler...

I'm on XP. DUN over BT worked fine using PDANet on the old ROM. But on the new ROM it doesn't work at all.
The wired connection is faster anyway, so I'd always prefer that. But sometimes it's handy to be able to do it wirelessly.
I finally got BT DUN working with the USB Modem app from www.mobile-stream.com. I changed the Mogul GPS port to COM3 but BT DUN still didn't work. I had to remove the BT pairing with the phone from the computer, then enable BT DUN from the USB Modem app THEN re-pair with the phone with the app running. This time it detected the dial-up BT service on the phone and after I completed the pairing, I was able to dial #777 normally.
Also the speed was much faster than the speed with ICS BT PAN. I was getting ~500kbps with BT PAN and I'm getting 1100kbps+ with BT DUN.
I want to Tether/Share my modem over USB not BT, Wifi, if its more relable then the BT connection would be fine to.
any suggestions?
Im on a Macbook running the latest and greatest.
I actually use the bt tethering as it is just as fast as USB and honestly using the usb on the mac for anything other than charging would be a headache. second you can keep your 6800 in it's holster and connect just fine as well. sorry i don't have more info but it does work very well IMHOP.

you will never be able to tether over USB because that requires a computer that recognizes that the HTC device is a LAN connection. and since the software was built for windows and the OSX drivers are not built in you cannot tether over USB
allright then maybe you can help me with my very unstable BT connection, 90% of the time im lucky to keep a data connection for most the 15mins until I get a unexpected error
This procedure works great for me, either with USB or over BT.

However it involves using a commercial program, but there is a free trial.

SyncMate --
It's free and works perfectly.
Not only will it let you sync all your phone info to your mac, it'll also let you mount it as a disc and even use the internet connection on your mac via usb.
Tethering is the thing I miss most - and the reason I still carry my g1 with my laptop.
I have heard that htc sync offers connection shareing - but I use linux.
What does everyone else use? Hopefully there is one of you out there with a good linux solution

I was using Proxoid with my BH2 with Ubuntu. It wasn't fun to set up, but it worked well.
On this note, anyone get Bluetooth DUN working on win7 via PDAnet?

I don't know if there's a solution for linux, but I had been using PdaNet with my G1 before I got the slide. I assume that it would still work. You should check it out in the market.

same question here. i'm probably just confused with the setup tho =[
does the help
Straight from junefabrics the ppl that made pdanet
Bluetooth DUN does not require installing anything on the computer end. So it supports all operating systems. You can install the phone piece directly from Android market.
After enabling Bluetooth DUN in PdaNet, you need to pair your computer with the phone. Use the Bluetooth configuration software on the computer end to look for the Android pone and pair with its "Dial-up networking" service. After that your bluetooth software should create a new dialup network connection over the Bluetooth modem. Use "123" as the phone number and blank username/password.
Again make sure you connect using the Bluetooth software that comes with your computer. Do not use the PdaNet Desktop client which is only for USB connection.
Since different systems come with different Bluetooth configuration software, you can simply Google "Bluetooth Dun setup instructions on YOUR_COMPUTER_OS_NAME" if you need more help.
also it says on there that only dun works on linux but u will have to to website for that
easy tether??
Has anyone tried to use easy tether? it automatically sets up tether through usb not sure if it works haven't tested it.

Saw this, but didn't work. Plus i think 123 is for Sprint, TMO is *99#, I think.
I have used both easytether and PDANet free version. They both work about the same. you install one app on the phone and hook up via usb to the computer and the computer downloads the drivers needed. very fast and easy setup and besides installing an app and plugging in usb cable you don't have to do anything. It worked great for me but it does require you connect via usb so would not be wireless by any means. I was connecting to a windows 7 computer.
figured out the bluetooth dun w/ pdanet.
if you've already tethered via usb, you should have 'PdaNet Modem' in your network connections.
right-click into its properties.
under the General tab & Connect using: , you should see the option 'Standard Modem over Bluetooth link #_'. make sure it is checked.
and the phone number is 123. username/password left blank.
apply all changes.
open pdanet on phone.
enable bluetooth dun.
it should pair the two.
connect to PdaNet Modem on computer
