OK. Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm a windows XP user. Ill fire up my ubuntu CD and see what I can do. Thanks for the help everyone. I hope it will work this time.

You guys are great! I needed sh /media/mmc1/pan.sh to run the script (I kepy getting "permission denied". I've been having a hard time searching for a how-to for osso-statusbar. I'm sure it's easy to run the script from the statusbar instead of opening x-term every time I was to run it, anyone more versed in linux want to help a noob out?
Thanks.

I finally got it running by converting my line endings to unix instead of dos!!! Thank to everyone who had helped out. I couldn't have done it without everyone's help. Thanks a bunch.

I was able to get the script connecting to my linux laptop once I changed the PAN_ROLE to NAP from GN so I am very pleased.

I am using SuSE 10.3 on a tosh tecra - the latter needed a toshiba_acpi patch applying to allow me to turn bluetooth on.

I still haven't found out how to use the osso status bar stuff and add a script in OS2008.

--edit--
I added the gconf line to the script to make a DEFAULT connection type, and then networking works fine. I had to add some magic to my linux file server in the ifup.d directory to kick off dhcp on the bnep0 interface, and another script in ifdown.d to kill that dhcp instance off when bnep0 goes away.

so, when I run the script it connects, I then go to the wifi wotsit at the top of the page, select a connection, choose DEFAULT, the n800 established a PAN connection to the fileserver (which is running pand listen) which kicks off dhcpd on bnep0, the n800 gets a dhcp lease and so everything is working!

I've found, from my zaurus usage, that bluetooth saves a lot of power compared to wifi. One problem is that if I disconnect wifi, and connect bluetooth pan, the n800 will reconnect over wifi later, it'd be nice to stop that!

I have loaded the script onto my N800. I am trying to connect to a Treo 750 running Windows 6.0 I have commented out the IP and GW lines as shown in the BlackJack example. I set the role to NAP.

The script executes and says it is connected but I cannot browse on the N800. Can anyone make a suggestion? I am close, I think.

Bump..Has anybody set up PAN with a Treo 750?

Maybe maemo-pan can help you. It works for my WM5 HTC phone at least.

looks like now that the issues have been fixed, the process is being automated.

Is that the palmos one, I lost track of the treo models.

AFAIK, you'll need a regular PPP session with PalmOS as it doesn't do PAN.

Pycage-

Thank you.!

The maemo-pan works well on my Treo 750 running Windows Mobile 6.0 It is MUCH faster than the DUN connection I had on my previous Motorola Razor.

The maemo-pan is also user friendly.
