Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking v1.1-1

Very nice! This should be included in the Maemo platform , worked better then installing the whole PC Suite and trying to get connected...

Works fine :)

Here's how I set up tethering using only pre-installed Ubuntu 9.10 software (i.e. no Blueman):

1. Set up your Mobile Broadband connection in NetworkManager
2. Install this (Bluetooth DUN) from Extras
3. Set up a Bluetooth connection using the Bluetooth Applet in GNOME
4. Note the BT address of your N900 (e.g. by using "hcitool scan")

After this setup is done, here's how you can tether your computer with the N900:

1. Open a terminal and type "sudo rfcomm connect 0 "
2. Wait for "Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to on channel 1"
3. Click the NetworkManager applet and select the Mobile Broadband connection

fire menace,

Your PSP GO is failing to find the n900 at all, that's got nothing to do with tethering support.

It Works Fine With My Pc But For Some Reason I Cant Get It To Work With My Psp Go. I Scan And It Doesnt Pick IT up, I Made a Little Video as a example : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haQhp2woByw

Anyone have any idea why it wouldnt be picking it up?

Thanks Philip! Works great! You're a good man!

The dataplan monitor is using a low-level mechanism that can see all traffic.

There's no specific way to disable DUN. For bluetooth you can obviously disable bluetooth or uninstall this package. From an xterm you can (as root) use "start/stop bluetooth-dun". For USB, there's no way to control it once you connect in PC Suite mode.

It is curios, because some other SW (conky) don't know about connection via GSM. But data consume was counted in Dataplan Monitor. Is it possible to deactivate DUN? Thx for replay.

To monitor the actual establishment of a data connection, you'd need a separate, non-existent, utility. I'm investing this.

Works fine, without some problems, but I have question: if some one connect to my BT (it is trusted device of course) I only see the change color of BT icon, but i dont see the icon of cennection to GSM (GPRS,EDGE,..) but internet works on connected device thru my N900. How i can discover if someone is connected to the internet and download my data?

Why would you ever want to uninstall it? :-)

This will be fixed in the 1.0-6 release.

works fine, but uninstall is broken. will file bug...

ambrogio cirillo,

It works in the background. Once it's installed, it's always running - you just need to turn bluetooth on.

Obviously, you have to set up the connection on the PC side, but that's the same for any phone with bluetooth dun support.

hi all! I'm sorry but I'm new with N900. I've installed this application but I cannoot see it among others apps. How must I use it? Thank you in advance

Simple and convenient. Now, if only Nokia's own PC Suite worked as well as this app...

Maciej,

You edited main.conf on the n900 or your PC? Does that even let you turn on services? I didn't thin it did. Anyway, you don't want to do that - you need to install this package or do the steps in the maemo wiki manually. The mechanism used for DUN on the n900 is not the normal bluez one - so nothing in main.conf is going to affect it.
