    Smile GPRS through Bluetooth in Linux.

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up a GPRS connection with Bluetooth. I tried connecting to gprs with fedora 9 system and it got connected,whereas the same dint work for me in Moblin(which is a flavour of Linux) and running /var/log/messages shows

    pppd:connection script failed

    What could be the reason for this. Any help would be appreciated.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Moblin is a new distribution, still undergoing development. It is currently under management by The Linux Foundation (Home | The Linux Foundation) where you might find help for this.

    I am getting these messages while connecting to gprs in fedora,but whereas in moblin it is not able to take the options from the ppd script. The output is as follows in moblin:

    pppd[]: pppd 2.4.4 started,UID=0
    pppd[]:connection script failed
    pppd[]:exit

    I some how got it working.But, in the var log messages, it is showing the DNS ip addresses(local and remote). But when I ping for Google, it shows that the host is down. Should some changes be done in the network settings or in the mobile?
