yes, finaly succeded to connect my phone N70 to my Pcs internet connection via Bluetooth! It took me 3 days to figure it out.
Here is an easy step how to make it some of you having still troubles:
first, download gnubox for N70, it is in testing phase, but It works perfectly.
2- download mrouter.
3- make a new Access point connection in you phone and name it Bt.
4- leave it in data call since it is the only choice thats not a problem. leave the other options as they are... no password ..
5- now go to Opera browser and change your access poit to Bt instead of GPRS.
6- lunch you gnubox and then go to options--->2box bluetooth-->serial port.
7- in case it stucks, go to Options-->install-->create records.

thats it!
make sure your pc suite WORKS FIRST and you can pair your PC with your Phone.
make sure that your m-router works also!
I got a troubles with mrouter cause I didnt know which COM port to use, then I selected ALL of them! I went to mrouter/connections and you can see all succeded com port connections, in my case, only COM 7 was working with it so I removed the others and left only COM7.
PS:my data suite works on COM 16,17,18.
thats all.
I was happy to make it and I wanted to share this solution with you.
Enjoy

I have also been able to get opera working using the above method.

a tip that might help, in the bluetooth settings under windows (or in your other bluetooth software) there should be an option for com ports.

Open that tab, select create new, make a new incoming port, it gives you the com port number which you can then use in mrouter.

set that bit up before setting up mrouter and you will get there quicker.

hi

i'm wanting to try out the bt connectivity with my symbian based bluetooth phone but there seems to be something up with the intuwave site. i can browse to it via www.intuwave.com but none of the googled links, nor the search faciltiy on-site, seem to work.

does anyone have a copy of mrouter (3) i could download?

tia

Hi - considering also installing Gnubox on N70 but read elsewhere that Bt must be only AP for it to be available. Does this mean that one must delete all the other access points from the phone? Will installing Gnubox (to run with e.g. Opera and Fring) affect other functionality which depend on the other APs ... or does it let you select the Bt AP on the N70?

Thanks!

It's safe to keep your normal access points, just chose "bt" as your default and you're fine. If I ever need to use the gprs access point I just set a bookmark set to use gprs as default then after that loads use any bookmarks as usual. Most programs ask you which one you want to use anyway so it can easily be tailored to how you need it at any point depending on which program you use and where you are.

i tried the steps mentioned here to access internet from my N70 .
But i could not do that and always get following error while making connection through m router:

Failed to connect to phone.
The requested address is not valid in its context.
Error Number 80072741

PLease help me out to sove this problem.

thanx
