Problem with PAN Bluetooth and MacOS - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hi there.
I used internet sharing with my Fuze (WM6.5) and Mac (OS1.6.2) for months.
Then I changed the Fuze firmware and all went wrong.
The Fuze image is the new TAEL (WM6.5.5 great image BTW)
Now, when I click on the Bluetooth icon, and search TAEL device, I see only "send document" and no more "connect to network".
When I paired the Fuze with the new image with my MacBook, pairing went ok but at last Mac said "no bluetooth found in the pired device" so I have no more PAN connection.
In Network preferences->Bluetooth device (TAEL)->Advanced I saw that port "Bluetooth PDA Sync - type Modem" is checked.
I tried to recreate the PAN connection in Network Preferences but it says "no PAN devices found". I tried to add "share internet connection with other Bluetooth devices".
Probably something went wrong when I changed image: MacOS saw my phone as a new one and it deleted the old profile ... but probably something went wrong.
Anyone could help me? Or tell me how I could completely reset Bluetooth configuration in MacOS? Thank you.

T-Mobile Dash Bluetooth Modem Mac

When I try to connect my Dash to my Mac it connects fine but there is something missing. In order to use my Dash as a modem for my Mac I need to pair them and so on. In the bluetooth set up, after I pair the two, I get to select which services I want my computer to use on my phone. The only service that shows on my computer is "address book" There should also be an option to "Access the Internet with your phone’s data connection" but it's not there. This is why I can't use my phone as a bluetooth modem. Why is this not showing up in the bluetooth set up? Is my phone not telling my Mac that it can be used as a bluetooth modem? My internet sharing settings and so on are activated and correct on my phone. Is it just my compter?

The Dash has AKU3, which means it lacks BT DUN and only has BT PAN. This is why you don't see DUN, unlike with pre-AKU3 devices.
I'll publish a big article on all these questions in a few hours, where I explain all these questions in detail. Stay tuned!

Is there a way to get a Tmobile dash paired with a G4 Mac Powerbook?
I want to access the internet on my powerbook via my Dash.
I see in your reply above you were going to write an article on this. I've not found out how to get this to work.
thanks for any help

I see the problem... basically Mac OS X doesn't support Bluetooth Personal Area Networks (PANs). Bluetooth Modems normally use DUN (which is what HTC devices used prior to AKU2... and was hacked to route into WModem).
With AKU3, MS standardized this. They went with PAN instead of DUN because PAN allows for IPNAT... enabling the device and the laptop to be online at the same time.
But, of course, Macs don't even see the PAN profile... meaning we're SOL right now.
P.S... testing this on my Blue Angel with AKU 3.5... same problem here.

Let's all hope the Widcomm BT hack will some day also have DUN support, even under AKU3+. See the Hermes / Wizard forums for more info on the hack.
DUN / PAN Problems with OSX
I know OSX doesn't support PAN, but check this site out --> http://mobilitytoday.com/news/007194/blackjack_mac_connection
It's a write up on how to get the Samsung BlackJack working with OSX, BlackJack I believe also use PAN.
I tried it, but wasn't able to get it to work. I have to leave the office right now, so maybe someone else might have better luck than I do.

working with p3600
It seems working with a P3600 using the new network sharing feature with the USB Cable! The mac sees a ethernet port (with ip already asigned by p3600)under systempreferences>network.
I donnu if its because i have missing sync (demo) installed that that connection just comes up...
cheers..
Update: Working on MBP CoreDuo...
I've got the dash, and I set it and my macbook pro to be discoverable, went thru the wizard on the mac side which found no usable services, then enabled the "internet sharing" app on my dash, and immediately selected the "join network with tmobile43" option on the bluetooth menu on my mac, and volia! i'm typing this to you via this connection.
Solid! Now if only bluetooth charged the battery
tmobile dash bluetooth modem problem
Ok this is wat i have to say i have a macbook and when i go to bluetooth setting it says in can use the kind of network interface that ur powerbook doesnt support and the reason ur powerbook doesnt support it is either u need to upgrade ur airport card or mabye upgrade to leopard like i did or do both because im running my macbook with the 802.11n wireless and bluetooth card and with 10.5 so that might be a solution to ur problem and i also know that u should upgrade to a macbook or a macbook pro if u want excelent peformance or heavily upgrade ur powerbook g4 and anyway wat are the specs on ur powerbook??
(macbook white 2.0 ghz 80gb hd and 2 gigs of ram)
sorry i put in powerbook for some reason i meant to say wat mac do u have
It seems to me that OS X (Leopard at least) wants to use the Network Access Point Bluetooth profile with Bluetooth PAN. I got it working with WM6.1 but I had to change Bluetooth PAN from PANU to NAT.
See ]Fixing 0803xx Bluetooth PAN on OS X 10.5.
NOTE: The thread number has changed from 382057(broken) to 373138 or go directly to the post.
UPDATE: Apparently the threads have been renumbered... or at least the thread with my post in it has changed... here's the link to the post: 2080487

Couldn't get to Internet using Bluetooth PAN

I have treo 750v, WM6.
I have done the procedure below:
1. Pairing my device with the laptop via Bluetooth.
2. On my Treo, clicked start > internet connection sharing > chosing bluetooth pan > click connect.
3. Device told me to activate Bluetooth on my PC. then I activated my Bluetooth PAN on my laptop. (I'm having BlueSoleil bluetooth manager installed on my laptop).
4. Treo said "Connected". My BlueSoleil manager said connected with an animation showing a link between my device and laptop icons. It even showed some message of its assigned IP address, etc.
But, i can not connect to internet on my laptop. I did ping to google, it said "Request time out".
Very weird, because when I choose USB Cable to do internet connection sharing, the connection is working seamlessly, i can connect to internet, good ping to google or any other sites, but not with BT PAN.
Please advice what to check, what to do, etc.. thanks
no replies yet, i hope someone will read and provide some suggestion for my problem. thanks
How about using the Windows' bluetooth manager?
My bluetooth places -> entire bluetooth neighborhood -> right click on your device name -> connect Network Access Point
I use this method every time and it always works.

I tried it just now as you suggested. it then says network connected. but then i cant connect to the internet from my laptop. so i back to using the USB cable, and it works flawlessly.
i wonder where's the missing key???
Two things:
1. With the Windows bluetooth, once the devices are paired and a connection is established (Internet Sharing on the Treo), goto the little bluetooth icon in the systray and right-click on it. Click on the "Quick Connect" menu and select "Network Access". Once you have clicked on "Network Access" you should see your phone listed (my 750 shows as the name I entered for "Owner Information"). Select your phone and that should do it. These steps are similar to the ones I use for my Macbook as well.
2. Regarding BlueSoleil Manager: when I lasted used it I remember having to set up the serial ports manually so they could be used for communication between the desktop and the phone. I haven't used the BlueSoleil since I had a Treo 650, but I still have the software. I'll load it up and see if I can't help you with your problem.
Regards,
idyllic
So I got to work and loaded up BlueSoleil on a system running MS Server 2003 SP2. The bluetooth dongle I'm using is a TRENDnet TBW-101UB V2 with BlueSoleil version 1.4.9.2 build 041108, stack version 04.03.15.20041105.
I paired my stock AT&T Treo 750 to the machine. Started "Internet Sharing" on the Treo making sure to select bluetooth pan and the AT&T network Once this was done I right-clicked on my phone icon in the BlueSoleil Manager and select "Connect." The I choose the "Bluetooth Personal Area Networking Service" and open a web browser to test... so far its worked every time.
Some notes:
1. The internet sharing on the treo isn't instant, give 20 seconds or so to fully connect.
2. The BlueSoleil manager connects even slower... give it 30 seconds.
3. Try repairing the phone.
4. If using the BlueSoleil software, disable the windows bluetooth as the MAY be a conflict there. Basically use one or the other.
I'm not sure if any of this is going to help, but I hope it puts you on the right track.

auto connecting to network access point (x51v)

Hi -- I'm trying to get my x51v to automatically connect to my Kaiser phone to receive internet sharing. It seems like there are more steps than there should be to connect each time -- turn on internet sharing on the Kaiser; then navigate to Bluetooth shortcuts on the x51v, select the Kaiser "Network Access Point" and click connect. Does anyone know any way to automate this? At the very least, it seems like it should be possible to tell the x51v to automatically look to the Kaiser whenever it needs to connect to the internet (in lieu of an active WiFi connection) but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Alan

Are you using the widcomm bluetooth stack or the standard MS stack?
Have you tried to create a connection under Settings/Connections/My ISP/Add New and point it to bluetooth?

Thanks so much for the response -- I've got the Widcomm stack, and I should mention also that I'm using Windows Mobile 6 (on both devices). I'm not seeing this "My ISP" link under Settings/Connections. Is that what I need to find? And where is it? I did this by making a new shortcut in the Bluetooth Manager, selecting the ""Explore a Bluetooth device" option, then picking the "Network Access Point" service from the "Service Selection" window that came up when I selected my Kaiser as the device to explore.
When I look at the shortcut's properties, "Default" is checked; the system doesn't know to automatically try to connect to it when it wants an internet connection (in lieu of an active WiFi link), which is what I'd like it to do.
Thanks again!

Bluetooth dun error 678

I have migrated from a Nokia E90 to the Touch Pro. I am a veteran Windows Mobile user, ever since the days of Windows CE, through Pocket PC 2003, 2003SE, 2005 and WM5.
I have a problem - I would like to use Bluetooth DUN to connect my laptop to the net. I used to do this with my Nokia E90 using *99#, so I know my phone provider will provide it. I can connect successfully using Internet Sharing over Bluetooth, but not using Bluetooth DUN. I get error code 678. I need to use Bluetooth DUN as I need to keep use the Bluetooth PAN on the laptop available to connect to my main computer.
Has anyone successfully connected via Bluetoot DUN yet? COuld you try it and let me know?
I've got the same problem. Fine on all previous phones. Now this one gives me this error.
Anyone solved it?

Hi Guys!
Can you help with this problem? I've got this same issue. It's really annoying. I Can't also set up bluetooth connection between TP and my PC (Windows Vista).
Any idea?
See whether this can help.
http://www.windowsmobilecool.com/20...ows-smartphone-to-a-windows-pc-via-bluetooth/
My TP can do the BT DUN from my notebook now, but the problem is that it will disconnect after a short while. I am still trying to find out where is the timeout settings.
I did not look at the link but it looks like you guys have missed the apn information out of your extra initialisation commands for your modem
Ice_coffee: 'apn information out of your extra initialisation commands for your modem'
Can you provide those info ? And where to use it ?
I think this URL provide more detail, it works for me.
http://www.ppcsg.com/lofiversion/index.php/t94416.html
Go to the Device Manager, select properties of the Bluetooth Modem, click on the Advanced tab, paste the following string on the Extra initialization commands:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet",""
Try to establish Dial Up again, use the following for the dialup dialogue box,
User name: Your Mobile No. [eg. 6591234567]
Password: 65IDEAS [I used this for Singtel]
Dial: *99#
This settings works for me.
excellent instructions here
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprsconnect.html#laptop
including pictures, showing just which settings need adding on your laptop, just copy and paste the gdcont info into the setup screen for your htc usb modem, as per the instructions, you will have to change the apn to the one for your provider.

bluetooth internet for laptop

anyone else having problems syncing the fuze via bluetooth to a laptop for internet on the road? I used to do this all the time with my 8525 with no problem, with the internet sharing program. On the fuze it has the internet sharing program AND a new program called wireless modem.
iv tried both and even used the directions in the manual, with no luck. anyone else having this problem?
every time i try and use the internet sharing program my computer will say connection successful, then 5 seconds later, my phone will say "the remote party has ended this connection".
UGHH SO FRUSTRATING!
SOLUTION FOUND ALLREADY! WORKED LIKE A CHARM

you guys don't need to delete the "forcecellconnection" registry key...
just take a look at it and the value of that key is pointing to "AT&T ISP GPRS"
all you have to do is change that to "MEdia Net"
Its just a pointer to which modem connection you have selected in connetions...
For me, I ditched the MEdia Net and created a new modem gprs connection called "GPRS" and didn't even put in any values (wap.cingular, usename, pass). I'm using 3G just fine AND my internet sharing works like a charm on my vista laptop
