Bluetooth Internet with 6600

164 replies · 136,439 views · Started 19 December 2003

Any hints on how to set this up? I have a Belkin F8T030 Bluetooth access point and usb print server.

I can detect and pair with the accesspoint but I don't know how to set it up to use that as a connection.

The article only mentiones the 3650 and the p900.You can use your PC's internet(DSL,Cable,Dial Up)connection with any BT adapter with those phones.

That is great about it working on P900 phones (which is what I have) but I do not know how to do it. I can connect through bluetooth to a laptop with LAN internet access, but the browser wants to open a Cellular or Dial up connection instead of using the BlueTooth LAN. How do I use a Serial BlueTooth connection on the phone (or other BlueTooth connection) to actually go to the internet. Most importantly, actually I would like to stream video through this internet connection.

Note: The real world example is that I am going to be demo 7 phones deep in a convention center and cellular reception and availability is not dependable, but the demo should be on the phone device.

Thanks!

hmmm, yeh, still an old topic.... & i still would like to know if it can be done,

I installed OPM for symbian, it has a data exchange client over bluetooth. so does Remote S60 Pro, both programs send & recieve data from the device using their own clients.

So i asume it is Doable..... anyone knows anyone whois involved in programing for symbian!

I think such an App would make them some $$$$

fofodaman: with the number of illegal users out there?... I doubt doing all this work would be worth it. 😞

ok, i am one o them you just mentioned 😉 BUT,,, i do pay for programs, some times!!

I did pay for LogoManager, i swear i did,, why, cause it was well worth buying then...

hmmmm,,, what else did I pay for,,,,,ooops 😊
no for real, a day to day used proggy, i pay for in a heartbeat.

BUT i never pay for the ones i use once everymonth, i just install & uninstall, or use a crack 😊

GhostDog: no wares, i get it 😉 but we can still talk though? i mean you are against TCPA are you not 😊

guys, if anyone has the router app for 6600 isolated from the suite, please let me know.

Thank you,

Against TCPA is a completely different thing,it doesn't encurage warez in any way.Discussing pirated/illegal software is not alowed in the forums.

got you GhostDog,,

i am still trying with this 6600, if someone can helpus isolate the problem, is it the mrouter or the unit itself....

I belive some people have reported that the 6600 will access the internet when used with a bluetooth Access Point?? If this is correct surly it must be the PC software not proxying/routing the bluetooth connection to the internet (surly thats what the BT AP will do that a USB stick/mrouter will not??).

Is there any software out there that will turn a USB BT stick/dongle in to a BT access point? to try this?

Anyway just a though.

Well, it looks like this wont be changed or fixed any time soon, on a related note, I have just recieved an SE P900, which when in it;s supplied datacable/cradle thing, has complete net access immediatley, and works perfectly.

Unfortunatly there are only 3 IRC apps for this phone, and they are all, with the best respect in the world to their authors, crap. Sorry, but it's true - in fact 2 of them dont even work right, and the remaining one is poor. I hope the one i used for the 6600 will be ported soon.

Given that a phone like the P900 can still access the net via PC, I simply cannot understand why Nokia felt it was necessary to remove/block this feature with the 6600. Has anyone checked with a newer symbian handset from nokis, if there is one? If a newer phone has this facility back, then perhaps Nokia could be persuaded that removing it from the 6600 was a mistake and they'll patch it?

Can anyone clarify if the 6600 can access an internet connection over bluetooth via a Bluetooth Access point?

In one of the BT/Internet access threads somone mentioned this was possible but did not go in to any detail, another mentioned a BT AP with a link to the manufactures site, this AP had a client to install on the handset.

What i'm not sure of is if a notmal BT AP (somthing like a Dlink DBT-900AP) will work or not for sharing internet access with my 6600 over bluetooth.

Cheers

I noticed that the program worldmate from www.mobimate.com allows a connection setting that configures the mrouter directly from within the application on the phone. Maybe this is the way forward if we can have this built into opera or netfront ?

It _is_ possible to set up a 6600 to use a Bluetooth connection for Internet, you just can't
use mRouter with it. If you have Windows XP or Linux (you might be able to use Win2000),
you can check out my rough instructions at http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/mraento/symbian/bt-ap.html.

Be warned though: this is not quite end-user friendly.

No joy - does not want to connect - 2 problems from your instructions

1- Setting up a (via Troys instructions) - says com3 but not got a com3 available when selecting ports

2- not sure about proxy sever bit - if i need to do it and where to do it if I do.

Right done as much as I can and got following message when trying to connect - Login script error (when I get this far)

Great! This seems like good progress!

Can anyone get any further? Mika have you seen this working?

Hi there,

First of all great forum you have here. :icon14:

Now i have tried it and it works!!!!! 😃
I just noticed you need a password, had non on my pc Windows XP.
My config is a Cable internet with a Router, the router has a DHCP server en NAT is enabled. The PC's on the network get IPs from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.15, the IP stack for the Bleutooth connecton gives adresses from 192.168.0.20 to 192.168.0.22.

I folowed the instructions of Troy Fontaine for the PC part and enabled NAT on my PC with the instructions on the site.

Now i'm able to internet with Opera, i cant get wap to work true Services doe!

Fantastic news if it's true. I've set everything up on my phone and laptop but can't test it yet as I don't have my bluetooth dongle with me until tomorrow.

I'm also experiencing a problem, when going 2box Direct -> Bluetooth I get an error:

"gnubox: Already in use"
