that tabletoid posting worked perfectly for me!

wishlist:
* use dhcpcd on the tablet
* have the MAC and NAME of the PAN server in a separate file so that it can be configured more easily, with a helper app to add and switch servers? or, add multiple entries to the connection list
* make the wireless aerial symbol in the task bar active when PAN active?

thanks very much for all the hard work so far!

I too have been following the threads discussing the BT PAN on N800/N810. I was truly impressed with the .deb posted on garage.maemo by pycage. After download, Application Manager installed it in a flash. Then making my connection to the AT&T Blackjack 1, with Media Net service, was effortless. I had previously set up the phone to "Internet Share" as discussed by nilchak in this thread http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=12666. He used a script file that was originally developed by fanoush. I was just about ready to install this script file on my N800 when pycage posted the .deb - PAN for Maemo.

This BT PAN connection through the Blackjack works very well. I believe it is even faster browsing the Internet than with the Windows Mobile Internet Explorer that comes as part of WM6. At least on this phone. This .deb will be supremely useful to all who own a Windows Mobile WM5/WM6 based phone and the Nokia N800 or N810.

Many thanks for their fantastic programming skills goes out to fanoush, nilchak, aleksandyr and pycage. I love those names!

Cheers!

Oh that would be great! I have a vista machine I'd like to pull internet from without broadcasting a wifi network.

I would love to use this new PAN support with my 8125 with WM 6 but after I install the PAN deb it never recognizes my phone. I have the phone paired in the bluetooth settings but when I go to connect to it it says no phone found. Are you supposed to be able to pick your phone in the Phone settings on the N800? I could never get this to find my phone either although I was able to pair going through the Bluetooth settings. Any ideas?

Thanks...

after you have the phone paired you just pick bluetooth-pan on the connectons list iirc. works with my SE Z710 (but thats not a winmo so...), but i have seen someone else report the same issue with a advantage...

Thanks tso. After I paired I turned internet sharing on on my phone and then picked bluetooth-pan on my N800 but it could never find the phone. My 8125 is using an aftermarket rom (or however you want to say that) so maybe that has something to do with it. Do you know where you saw the other report?

Thanks...

sadly its not much of a report...

This is great to ove a one install file for PAN support.

Unfortunately when I tried installing the .deb (from the garage page) file on my N810 - I am getting an install error.

Unable to install maemo-pan
Application packages missing : libbluetooth2 (=3.20-0osso1)
bluez-utils (=3.20-0osso2)

I am not able to locate the bluez packages ...

This looks like you need a more recent version of OS 2008. bluez-utils is part of the OS.
