share the pc's internet connection..

Help plz! wrote:how do i share the PC's internet connection via BT?

Pair the pc with the ngage, then use PCSuite, which came with your Ngage.

You do realize GhostDog is gonna get you for not searching first, right? :?

To do this you will require a bluetooth adapter for your pc.

1)Install bluetooth drivers and Nokia PC Suite on PC
2)Go to your bluetooth software menu, click on View or modify configuration, click on Local services,
and look at Bluetooth port, click on properties and make sure it starts automaticlly
3)Next set services provided for the N-gage, to use a serial port.
4)ENSURE bluetooth port number on the N-Gage and the PC are IDENTICAL

Hopefully now you should be able to connect to your computer.
The bluetooth icon in your task bar should animate if this is succesful.

To Set up Connection Sharing For the N-Gage -
Go to N-Gage settings menu and make a new GPRS connection, here are the settings:
GPRS Connection : When Available
Accesspoint: (your computer's BT name exactly as it is)

After this go the Access Points menu, and make a new access point, here are the settings:
Connection name= (whatever you want to call it)
Data Bearer=GPRS
Access Point name= (your new accesspoint you've just created)
leave everything else at default.

Open Browser and TADA internet

note > If Opera asks you for a connection, choose the bluetooth one

Hi

I tried to follow your guide. That didn't work.
Then i tried this guide: http://www.xtsystems.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29

That didn't work either. So what am i doing wrong here?

What i noticed is that these two guides aren't approaching the connection the same way.

As a side note, i only used the build in browser. Is it because this browser can't use a bluetooth connection?

I replied to this thread, so that the webmaster can see, i really did a search on this topic before asking.

Indeed the built in browser can't use the bluetooth connection (atleast mine doesn't 😃)

Use Agilemessenger, Opera or something else to test

if done it works like a charm 😊.
Browsing Bash.org Ownz on your mobile before going to sleep 😊.
also www.allaboutngage.com/mobile
is REALLY good !

I understand everything but the 3rd and 4th steps. What does it mean by set services provided to use serial port? and how am i suppose to set the ports the same?
