It says I have 2.06.00 installed as 02/22/06. I know I've updated since then!

In any case, DUN works for me!

TabulaRasa,

Thanks for the help. I was able to get it working but I had a few problems. Apparently, I had paired the phone to the N800 prior to installing PDANet and that really screwed things up. Also, I was using the trial version of PDANet which does not seem to support bluetooth connections. After deleting all of the pairing and connection settings, re-pairing the devices, setting up a new connection, and registering PDANet I was able to get on-line for about 5 minutes before the connection was lost. The second time I tried I was able to stay on for about 10 minutes. I'll keep playing with it to see if I can figure out a pattern.

Any idea why the 6700 has to be rebooted after each of the connection attempt?

Thanks, Brad

My Moto Q worked out of the box. When you pair your phone to your PC, is DUN a service on it? It may be a limitation of your phone.

I'm pretty sure that Sprint disabled DUN on the PPC-6700 to get laptop users to buy their wireless cards. There is a program on the install disc that comes with the phone, called wireless modem or whatever -- some people claimed success at wireless DUN. I never did. I think it's because of the bluetooth stack on my laptop, an HP L2000.

However, even when DUN didn't work, the bluetooth active sync did work on my laptop and it seems like the PDANet application tricks the phone into using the sync function to transmit data. I'm not sure why the phone always has to be reset but that has always been my experience.

I've been able to stay connected for hours, so I'm not sure of what is causing your problem, but i don't let the phone get very far away from the N800. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works.

I'm probably going to get rid of the PPC 6700 soon, but I want to find the smallest phone I can get that supports DUN without any workarounds.

Who is your cellular provider? Did you get an unlocked phone? My provider (sprint) is going to have the Q soon, if they don't already. Thanks!

Hi,

Just reading this forum as I have a PPC-6700 and I am thinking of purchasing a N800.

Has anyone tried USB Modem application instead of PDANet?

http://www.mobile-stream.com/usbmodem_wm.html

I recently upgraded my PPC 6700 to ROM 3.3 using Colonel's Custom Beta 2 and USB Modem has allowed the PPC-6700 to have both bluetooth and USB DUN connections with both Windows XP and Mac OS X.... so maybe it will be robust enough to work with the N800....

Please give it a try... there is a Demo download available that is good for 15 days or 30 connects whichever comes first....

...hope it works!!!

Just for the record, I tried getting the Nokia tablet online using a T-Mobile Dash (WM5 AKU3) and PDANet.

I have a registered copy of PDANet and turned on the Bluetooth DUN option.

The tablet could see the DUN profile on the Dash, and I could pair with it. But whenever the Nokia tried to establish a connection, it failed.

After digging a bit, it seems that the Dash returns ERROR in response to any attempt to send a dial command. Even from a PC, PDANet always complains that the "modem is busy".

I emailed June Fabrics and was told that the Dash is incompatible with PDANet and unsupported.

I just downloaded the USB Modem trial and was able to dial out with DUN from my laptop using my PPC 6700. I've already returned my N800. Someone should try this with the N800. If it works, I'll buy another N800.

I would install it but with the way PDANet works on the PPC-6700 I am not sure I'd know if USB modem was actually working. Maybe I'll flash my PPC 6700 and test it and then just restore from a backup.

Great. I'll be watching.
