Hello
I can set the HD2 up as a bluetooth modem for DUN, in both WinXP and Win7.
However, I cannot set it up as a wired modem in either OS. I cannot set up a wired DUN connection, because the system has no modem for it.
I recall with earlier HTC devicess (such as the MDA), they actually had a driver available, that one could use to set up the HTC modem. Does that same driver work on the HD2? Or is there a new one? Where can one get it?
Before someone replies about the other option for wired tethering, Internet Connection Sharing, yes, I know how to do that. I still would like to be able to set up a DUN connection though. Is it possible?
I would like solutions for both WinXP and Win7, whether the same solution for both, or different ones.

The Hermes doesn't support PAN due to its wretched MS BT stack, so how can I share my gprs connection through bluetooth? If impossible, how to share it through usb?
Best regards Johan
Hi, theres an app called PDANet, I use it to connect via usb, but it also is supposed to work over bluetooth and even bluetooth to a mac and share the connection, also you don't have to disable active sync if you use usb to connect to a windows machine
Just create a connexion using bluetooth modem and dialing *99#
Using a modem connection I only get a 633 error, cannot open com port, in windows the modem is set to use COM4, but I only have a incoming com at port 9. I don't know how to fix this, will try pdanet.
I use a widcomm stack on my HP laptop and it works flawlessly; I just had to pair with my tytn and the software automaticely created a generic bluetooth connexion and a generic bluetooth driver. There is only a little trick there; if I start the connexion through windows it won't work; I have to fire it from my bluetooth manager, which realy connect through my phone.
I'm trying to use my WM6 Black 8525 as either Bluetooth or USB modem. Cannot connect to my Thinkpad T60 laptop built-in Bluetooth as it only has Active Sync Bluetooth Service nor my Vista finds any devices that support PAN.
Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance!
in vista do not try to get the modem over bluetooth working as pan. Do it as a dial up connection from the settings in internet explorer. On my hp I just partnered the bluetooth then went to add connection in ie. i found it with no trouble. I think it must be very dependant on the bluetooth stack on your pc. On my hp there is a process running called BTStackServer.exe that is doing it. On my dell this is not the case and it just will not work. In that case I use the wireless modem program built into the phone with a usb cable. following the instructions in help gets it to work fine.
I have also used the usb method on two xp desktops so it works just about everywhere.
With the pan, i think the problem with windows mobile devices is that they are acting in the same direction as a pc would. They are looking for a device, not acting as one. I bought a bluetooth dongle for one of my xp machines and installed the bluesolie software (stack?) and both ends showed the other as a pan device but both ends just waited for the other to expose their functionality until they timed out. i tried it with a hermes and a trinity.
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.
Hey all,
I dont know if this has been asked yet or not but how can i connect my phone to my laptop through bluetooth, i already have a receiver but i cant get windows mobile device center to pick it up even though it already has a USB connection partnership. Anyone have any solutions to get it to work via bluetooth?
Other details:
My OS is Windows 7 home premium and i use Bluesoleil with my usb bluetooth adapter.

yes you can i did with WM and vista for internet sharing via bluetooth PAN, so it should work with WIN7. i dont remember how to do it (using strictly linux)
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
