My phone connection (via Bluetooth) shows "Connecting" forever and desktop icon is constantly blinking. However phone shows that GPRS is connected. Ping works, ftp works and ifconfig shows interface as running.

What really does not work is Opera – it does not open pages – it does try to open something but screen forever stays blank.

See config:

Code:

 # ifconfig -a

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

DNS does work as ping shows. I think it is something wrong at some application level – like Opera asks connection manager whether connection is connected – and if not – it just waits.

WIFI connection does work; phone connects to Internet smoothly when called via BT from my WinXp desktop. So there is something wrong in N800.

I can guess what happened. There were no problems until I have installed pptp for my MS VPN as described here. It worked. The strange thing that on Ubuntu where I have initially tested my pptp config VPN connection also displayed “Connecting” status forever. But it worked.
I thing there is something wrong either in pptp settings or with how pptp was ported.
I have uninstalled pptp-linux – same problems.

I have turned on syslog – log quote is attached. I do not see anything strange there.

Any ideas (except for re-flash)?
