Hi all. Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm having problems with the setup.

The steps above were really useful, but when I apply the environment I created in the pc-connectivity manager, the bluetooth pairs with the PC no problems, but the network isn't setup.

Should there be a bnep0 interface at that point? The PC seems to set up a bluetooth network interface ok (using static IP), but nothing doing on the N900 side. Any suggestions?


EDIT: Ok, solved the issue well enough for now.

Connection switcher still doesn't work for me (except it does change the interface and DNS options properly). But if I initiate the network connection on the PC side, then run 'ifup bnep0', it will set up the network properly.

On an aside note, Windows 2000 networking sucks. I've had to use ssh as a socks proxy and a little utility called udpfwd to forward network requests properly. Nevertheless, I now have a successful bluetooth network connection!

Thanks to everyone who was helping me by PM, I appreciate the effort =)
