p800 and irda hub and adsl connection

3 replies · 2,274 views · Started 24 June 2003

i just discovered this by total fluke, i linked my phone to my infra red hub, and started using the updated opera browser, when i clicked on home page, it loaded very fast, but with no live connection, so i thought it was a stored page, after around 5 other pages, i noticed that it was using the broadband connection of my pc to view these pages on my phone,

i've done a search on this incase someone else has posted similar but those posts are just about using the phone as a modem itself, and not using the pc's modem like this one

i know this can be done via bluetooth, but i didn't think it was possible on irda

How is this possible via bluetooth? Can you tell me how to browse sharing my adsl connection at home via bluetooth? (Using a MAC G4 powerbook with airport extreme/bluetooth).

TIA

I'm not sure how it's done on a Mac. On my PC, I create a serial connection between the phone and bluetooth adapter. Then I simply go into Opera (or any program that uses GPRS like IM+) and surf on! search the forum if you can't get it to work, been discussed so many times, on Nokia forum too.
