Has anyone had any joy with using the N95 as a Bluetooth modem under Windows Vista?

I'm using the latest version of PC Suite but still get an empty box / 'No Modem Found' message when using the Connect to the Internet application.

I've not done it under Vista, but I personally find it better to use the cable. Bluetooth can have trouble keeping up with a HSDPA connection.

Agreed, it's just the convenience of not having to juggle the phone at the end of the cable when I have my laptop out and about.

I do it some times. In the bluetooth driver stuff on my computer, when I added my N95 as a new device, it automatically set up lots of devices/services. One of them was the "Standard Modem over Bluetooth link" device, and a "BluetoothConnection" dial up connection is set up too. Then all I had to do was to edit the property of this connection and put *99# in as the phone number to dial.

So yeah, PC Suite isn't involved at all.

Thanks, I'll have a fiddle about with those settings.
