bluetooth pairing
hi
Im just having trouble pairing with kblutoothd with my nokia 6820.I can see my phone and send and receive files to my phone an laptop but only when i set Authentication on in the Authentication and Encryption settings?(which means i have to enter my pin loads of times).To create a gprs connection i need to delete the pairing with my pc on my phone and run a pppd script,otherwise i get rfcomm0 connection refused (i presume kbluetoothd is either loosing the link_key or not creating one).I was just wondering if theres a easier way for a gprs connection?
thanks karl

Have a look here. It's all command line stuff rather than GUI but that's how I use Bluetooth because I know it works Just ignore all the kernel stuff if you use a 2.6 kernel as all the rfcomm code will be in it.

my dial up is workin fine.But the main problem is once i get cut off i've got to delete the pairing on my phone then pair it up again with my laptop.If i dont i get connection refused msg the rfcomm0 port is closed so thats not my problem.I think its not saving my pin on my laptop.

Ahhh I get you now, sorry about that. That certainly is weird, I'd try setting security to none in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf, restart the bluetooth service/daemon and see if you're getting the same behaviour. It could be the phone is being funky or it could be the security settings on the lappy and phone are just right to cook up some weird side-effects.

thanks
I just reinstalled my kbluetoothd from sourcecode not rpms. An that seemed to have sorted it all out i think the rpms that come with my suse 10.0 had a load of files missing because my phone pairs quite happy with my lappy .I can even use kinternet for my dialup but command line is much quicker for some reason so i'll stick to that.

Good to hear!

I've noticed that apps interfacing with system-level stuff like Bluez tend to give better results when I compile them rather than install them from binary, That way they link against the libs on your computer rather than someone elses and I've just noticed an improved success rate
