Bluetooth Dialup Connection
Ok, quick overview.
Me I am a long time MS user/developer. Linux has allways intreaged me. I played around with a couple of distro's over the years. I recently tried suse 9.3 and fell in love. A problem that I have however.... I cant seem to get suse to recognize/install my cellphone as 'n modem workn through bluetooth. My nifty little bluetooth manager connects to my phone propperly and I can brows through OBEX. Using kinternet I can create dialup connections, but I can only specify devices that are installed as modems (in Yast/hardware/Modems). How do I install a default modem that points to my cellphone? Thanks in advance for anyone that can help. Cheers! |
Hi, Fade - Dude, did you sort out your problem , if yes, then please say yes, if not then say no , so that i tell you in my next post how to make a dial up networking connection in SuSE linux 9.2 & 9.3 also. I am bedi-beparwah.
thanks |
Fade-Dude , Follow the Steps written below ONE BY ONE CAREFULLy........
1. Just plugin " Bluetooth Dongle into USB Port " 2. Turn your Cell Phone's Bluetooth on. 3. Open the file ' .etc.wvdial.conf ' in any Text Editor such as 'gedit' or 'kwrite' . and replace all the line with the following lines. [Modem0] Modem = /dev/rfcomm0 Baud = 57600 SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATZ Init3 = ATM0 FlowControl = None [Dialer GPRS] Username = user Password = user Phone = ATD*99***3# Stupid Mode = 1 Inherits = Modem0 4. now, open file /etc/ppp/options in text editor in the same way and put # before all the lines starts with word lcp. it should be 4 or 5 lines. Remember this 5. now , open terminal and run the following commands as the following order.... a.) [roo@localhost]#hcitool scan This command will show the name of your call phone and one Six pairs digit address. COPY THIS ADDRESS. b.) [roo@localhost]# sdptool search DUN This commmand will show you that on which RFCOMM Channel you dial up networking is available in your cell phone. c.) rfcomm bind 0 <address of cell phone you copied above> <rfcomm channel of dial up networking which is shown by b.) command> 6. After binding, just run ' kppp ' and make a dial up connection as we do in the case of ordinary modem. just choose Modem Port as /dev/rfcomm0 and enter the phone no. exactly the same you entered in the /etc/wvdial.conf file. NOTE : MY INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER'S NO IS *99***1# and *99***3#. You replace this no with your ISP's on both places. 7. After creating a dial up connection in ' kppp ' just press connect button. 8. As you Press Connect Button, on your cell phone you will be asked to enter a particular digit which is for bonding between your computer system and cell phone. Enter the same digits here which you have in ' Yast ' - > Hardware - > ' Bluetooth ' configuration. Check it 9. As you enter the digit , ' kppp ' pop up shows the following in exact order................... a. ) Modem Ready b.) Initializing Modem c. ) Dialing *99***1# d. ) Authenticalting.... e.) Network Established or some thing like that. 10. Last but not least...........PLEASE BACK UP OF /etc/wvdial.conf & /etc/ppp/options Please if this works for you then please SAY THANKS ATLEASET. I am waiting for a good news from your side . Regards. |

i have tried all things above and it can't work :(
