This should work with most phones, whether GSM, CDMA or TDMA. These scripts use minimal set-up and configuration commands, and leave the rest to the phone’s defaults. They may well report false connect speeds like 19200 or 230400 – do not trust the reported speed!

Palm m500:m-Router – Free Bluetooth Internet

freelance — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:57:48 +0000

The first step in your M-Router journey involves downloading the M-Router executable from the web site of its developer. Then, install it onto your PC and simply restart the machine.

After that, plug in your Bluetooth dongle into your PC (if it wasn’t plugged in before and assuming you already have it installed). You should then see two icons in the taskbar:

The blue B icon stands for the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack, while the other one is M-Router’s icon. Right click M-Router, and then choose Exit to exit the program. Restart it right away (start menu), as the Bluetooth interface needs to be up and ready BEFORE M-Router starts.

OK, the basic network infrastructure is set up now. Time to move on to the “physical link” between your PC and your Palm. Bluetooth lives off so-called trusted connections and paired devices; paired devices are devices that have been “assigned” to one another and “trust” each other when connecting. The mechanics involved here are a bit complex, please look at the Bluetooth documentation if interested.

Right click the Bluetooth icon in your taskbar. Then, click ADD DEVICE (it could be named differently, I have a german box). A wizard will pop up-follow the steps it gives you. Your Palm must have Bluetooth turned on and be discoverable before you start the wizard. And BTW, better check the checkbox “Add to trusted devices” on the Palm when the enter password dialog box pops up:

Then, navigate to the COM PORTS section of the stack and add a new incoming COM port.

After that, right-click M-Router and choose General Settings. Work yourself through all the settings so that they look like this:

Now, the PC side is complete. Restart your Windows box for kicks, relaunch M-Router if necessary.

Lets proceed to the Palm. Open the Prefs app, and create a new Connection. Under Device you would need to select your PC from the Bluetooth pop-up list. Its settings should look similar to this:

Then, create a new Network link. Obviously, you can (and should) change the names of the connection and network link so that they better fit your needs-I choose Custom and Dongle-BT02 just because I felt that that fit:

Once this is done, all you need is a click on connect. Also note that most Bluetooth dongles have a maximum range of about 100 meters but PDA are usually have class 2 Bluetooth radios with a range of around 10 meters. So try to stay in the general area of your desktop/laptop for the best connection and speed. After that, feel free to take your Palm with you…free Internet is on your back!

freelance — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:34:19 +0000

Dial-up networking (DUN) is the feature that converts your smartphone into a modem so that you can access the Internet from a laptop computer. If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can set up your smartphone as a wireless modem using the built-in Bluetooth technology.

If your computer is not enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you need to purchase a wireless Bluetooth adapter accessory for your computer to use this feature.

11. Next, set up the Internet connection using Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking .Now that you’ve created a Trusted Device partnership with your laptop computer, you can set up the Internet connection with your smartphone.

12. The steps for accessing the Internet on your computer may vary depending on your operating system and how Bluetooth wireless technology is set up on your computer. If you need additional info, check your computer’s documentation for how to set up Bluetooth technology to access the Internet using a DUN connection.

13. You may need to use a virtual private network (VPN) to access corporate email. Check with your system administrator for more information. Once you’ve done that, proceed with these steps. On your PC, double-click My Computer on the Windows desktop.

14. Double-click My Bluetooth Places. Your computer will scan for devices that are paired or in range

15. Select your smartphone’s Bluetooth name from the list of icons on the screen. It will not necessarily be called “Centro.” It will have whatever name you gave it on the Bluetooth screen. By default, this is the same as its HotSync name.

Then select Centro Dial-up networking.

16. A Bluetooth connection screen will appear.

User Name: (leave blank)

Password: (leave blank)

Dial: #777

Important: If your mobile service provider is somebody else, contact them to learn which settings to use.

17. Click Dial.

Once the connection is established, you should be able to browse the web or access your email on your computer using your smartphone as the modem. Look for a network connection icon in the taskbar at the bottom of your computer screen to verify that you are connected.

If you see a message asking whether you want your computer to remember the dial text for this connection, we recommend that you say Yes. This avoids errors and the inconvenience of entering the dial text for every session.

18. When a DUN connection is active:

You cannot use data services on your smartphone. For example, you cannot browse the Web, or send or receive email messages on your smartphone (however, you will be able to do these things on your laptop computer). Any scheduled automatic email retrievals do not take place on your smartphone. You can’t connect your smartphone to other Bluetooth devices, such as sending a photo to another handheld, or receiving an application beamed to you via Bluetooth. You can, however, use other wireless features of your smartphone, such as making and receiving phone calls or sending and receiving text messages. Be sure to read the next section about disconnecting from the Bluetooth DUN section.

19. Disconnect from the Bluetooth Dial Up Networking session .It is important to end a Bluetooth DUN session after you finish using it. Ending the DUN session lets you use the wireless features of your smartphone that require a data connection. It frees up the Bluetooth feature so that you can connect to other Bluetooth devices, and it optimizes battery life, too.

On your smartphone, press Applications . Select Bluetooth

Select Bluetooth: Off.

This terminates the Bluetooth connection to your laptop computer.

If you like, you can turn Bluetooth back on by selecting On. This will allow you to perform other Bluetooth wireless operations with your smartphone.

To start another Bluetooth DUN connection, follow the steps above; it will not be automatically resumed when you turn Bluetooth back on.
