Uhm, the help files says:


You might also want to choose a default access point. * Without a default access point you can use an active connection to a PC! (IR or BT)

What do they mean by that?
That I can use my PC�s Internet connection via Bluetooth?[/quote]

IR yes,bluetooth...well you migh have hard time making that work,because i think that king of operation is not supported in the DUN profile on the nokia 7650 bluetooth chipset,why not give it a try.

OK no problem! However, you could leave a message just for the developer to see in order to correct this in feature versions!

uhmhm... I thought that the DUN-profile was the other way around.
That the PC uses the phones (gprs)connection not the other way around.

I want to use my PCs internet connection via bluetooth so that I can use webviewer, IM+, WirelessIRC etc when im home in my apartment. I feel stupid when using the GPRS-connection when i could (in theory that is) use my 10mbit connection through the computer via bluetooth.

Well,DUN profile is both ways around 😊 If it was not,then how can you enable internet sharing with two standard USB dongles (Retorical question)The problem is that the nokia 7650 can only be a server in the DUN profile,most bluetooth USB dongles can be both (Server and client) int the DUN profile,in the nokia 7650 case chipset,i think its not supported,so if its not a client its a server,meaning you can only serve the devices internet connection to a PC.Dont let this stop you from trying,i'd love to be proven wrong

I was refering to the DUN-profile in the phone.
So, it was the way I thought it was then.

Back in the day when I was using a Nokia 9110 there was a small app released that let you use a landline modem (instead of the built in gsm-modem), and with some tweaking (with pppd in linux) u could also use your computers internet connection through a serial cable.

I hope that someone could develop a similar program to the 7650 aswell (but in this case, via bluetooth instead of cable).
