Hi

I have a Nokia 6600 and I want to browse the internet through my PC's DSL connection using Bluetooth. Is is possible? If so, please guide me with proper steps. I have a bluetooth USB adapter.

The article you provided mentions something about " Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0" but I couldn't find this entry in my Access Point settings. Please note that the article was most probably written for Nokia 7650 but mine is 6600. And towards the end it mentions:

Save this and connect your 7650 to the Bluetooth COM-Port. The mRouter Tray-Icon should show now that the device is successfully connected.
But I connect my bluetooth device to a USB port and I need to start the software(IVT BlueSoleil) that came with the installation disc to activate my bluetooth network. Just pluggin in my bluetooth adapter doesnt work.

With that instruction I test a 6600, N-Gage, N-Gage QD and all work great. It�s very easy connect that phones to PC by bluetooth. Only one note: that kind of connections uses a SPP (Serial Port Protocol) present on phones.
Before, install PCSuite for 6600, because PCSuite go install the mRouter.
I use that with N-Gage and works without problem.

Facing the same prboblem with Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0

Please give the details to connect.
