N70 Internet via Bluetooth Connection

CalumM wrote:Hi Guys,

Do any of you know if its possible to access the internet on the N70, via a bluetooth connection with my PC?
If it is, how would you go about setting it up? because i can't find any options in the settings area to create one.

Thanks in advance for any help given, 😊

Is there not an app on PC Suite to connect to the internet through your phone? It's on the 2nd row up, 1st column I believe.

i think he meant the other way around, meaning the pc is connected and the n70 uses it's connection via bluetooth. don't know how to do that though...

I see what you mean now I have read it again :redface:

Unfortunatly I do not either, I would also like to use my pc's internet connection but havent had the chance to sit down for 5 mins to see if it's possible.

Will post feedback as and when I acheive this.

Yep, LosOutlandos is right, should have made that clearer in my post, sorry Jimbob,
Thanks anyway guys. :icon14:

On another note i've been trying to use a program called GnuBox to do it, may be worth a try for you Jimbob, but I still can't get it to work. Has anyone else used this program to do it and have you had any success?

Cheers,

i found this on the net, couldn't try it though because i haven't gotten my N70 yet. looks promising though...

Sadly, i think that may only work on a PC to PC direct bluetooth connection, but i may of course be wrong. Good work finding it though :icon14:
Can't try it yet unfortunately, have history coursework to be getting on with.

Cheers, 😊

I am thinking about moving from a Windows Mobile 2005 device to a n70, I am a little shocked to read that something as simple as internet sharing is a problem on these symbian devices.

On the PPC using Activesync I can use the internet through USB and BT out of the box. As I understand it right now it is very complicated to share the internet on s60 phones. Has anyone got any further insight, I have been reading about GnuBox as a solution: http://gnubox.dnsalias.org/gnubox/

However, this just seems too long winded, why hasn't Nokia/Symbian built this sort of functionality into the PC Suite tool? I guess I am moving to a n70 because I want something that is more like a phone than a PDA, but still data connectivity is something that is high up on my list of requirements. When I am in the house I want to use the house connection for emails, browsing etc. not GPRS.

I look the same for all the Symbian, i.e, 60 - 80 and 90.

This can be used:

:icon13: But, I did not obtain to make the connection with one 3230.

:icon14: With N-Gage, it rules,(the only one) and I configured of this form:

With 9500 it shoul work with Network Bridge from Nokia!
I use usually a 3G connection to the Net in my PC.
I don�t now what�s the problem, if is the connection or what..
:icon13: But it doens�t work either.

To configure the things we can use that one:

If anybody now how to achieve the writh way, I apreciate.

Best regards

I kinda sorta got things working with gnubox but it is far from perfect and requires a lot of fiddling around to get a connection, even then not all applications on the phone will connect to the wonderweb via BT. Hohum.

I think the problem is going to be fixed only when Wi-Fi will be widely available on Symbian phones. At the point using bluetooth for internet sharing will not make sense anymore (in most cases). I tried fiddling with gnubox on a 6630 and I could never manage to get a working connection; and as a side effect now when a Java applet wants to connect to the network the APN selection dialogue doesn't show up and the connection fails.

Just wondering if mobile MSN can be used in N70. I am looking for some ways to connect thru wireless LAN instead of 3G or WAP connection coz i don't need to spend a penny on using wireless LAN. Please help.

However, the N70 has no kind of wireless LAN (WLAN, Wi-Fi) hardware, so there is no possible way to use wireless LAN for anything on that phone in the same way as you can't use your microwave as a television, if it doesn't have a TV embedded in the glass door.

But maybe later on I hope there will come a WLAN card that you can connect via popport or bluetooth.
That would be so cool, they have to make more things for the popport instead of only a headset.

highly doubt nokia will invest in that with the n80 n92 etc coming soon woul;d be no point in it for them.also how would you sue the phone with something sticking out the bottom??.hard to use it with just the headset connector never mind a wifi adaptor
