Bluetooth Internet Modem (BT PAN)
Hi,
I have a HTC Touch Dual (T-Mobile/MDA Touch Plus) in the UK and have Web&Walk all set up on it. However much I've tried, search for answer, I still cannot use the phone for bluetooth pan/internet modem on my brand new macbook. (I was able to do it on my iBook, different phone) It was supposed to be easy, just connect internet sharing and it would work, but it's never that simple.
I can connect the two through Windows Mobile 6.1's internet sharing and bluetooth (but only for sharing files). I also have MissingSync if that makes any difference.
I have downloaded Ross Barkman's modem script for Windows Mobiles, (GSM 3.6M) and a application for Bluetooth DUN. Without the bluetooth dun app, when I set up the HTC with my mac will not 'see' the phone's dial up network, I've heard WM6 developers removed bluetooth pan drivers thus the need for app. Don't know why ones pan ones dun.
It automatically sets up it's own modem in network preferences which offers 'configuration, telephone number, account name and password'. I have also tried to configure similar settings through Bluetooth Pan, Bluetooth and PPPoE.
In network preferences menu:
Several forums use T-Mobile Internet as name, (hash)99* as telephone number, 'guest' as user name and password.
This did not work. I also tried 'general.t-mobile.uk' as the telephone number and 'user', 'wap' as the user name and password respectively.
I also unchecked all the relevant boxes in advanced menu and changed the settings to use Ross's script.
I have also opened new port in the bluetooth phone and edited the serial port in bluetooth settings to show the modem.
But however I try it will not connect to the internet through the phone (turning off airport doesn't help) I always get messages such as 'no carrier detected. Please check phone line connection and try again.'
It could be my mac, it could be the app, the wrong script but it's just not working. I have a hunch it's the settings (either user name, password or telephone number).
It would be better if I could try another Pan application to see thats the problem, but I cannot find any others to download.
I've tried to be as specific as possible, anyone who has this phone on T-mobile (in the UK), has connected the mac to the internet through it and would like to compare settings would be a lifesaver.
Cheers Ben
