Angry How to use Bluetooth PAN to communicate in Fedora 3

Hi everyone:

Now, I am doing a testing project. One mobile phone acts as NAT role and one computer acts as PANU role. They use Bluetooth PAN for communication. In windows, after user connects to Bluetooth PAN (via driver of the Bluetooth), user can see some information of the phone in IE by connecting to the phone over Bluetooth PAN. In Linux (I use Fedora 3), after I connect to the phone (“# pand –connect <destination BT device address>”), some password confirmation dialogs are shown on the phone and the computer, but I can’t see the connection from the phone (BT PAN settings) and I can’t get information from the phone in Mozilla over Bluetooth PAN. It seems that browser in Linux can not connect over Bluetooth PAN.

Can you tell me where the problem is and how to solve it? I would very much appreciate your reply.

Thanks.

I don't know, but does kdebluetooth help?

RPM from http://rpm.pbone.net/

hi! here's what you do, download konqueror and kdebluetooth if you want to see the bluetooth protocols supported by your phone. mozilla won't help you with this, konqueror is the only browser i know that supports bluetooth.

did you mean that the mobile phone acts a a GN (not NAT) and the pc acts as the PANU? And i have to add this, does your phone support PAN? some mobile phones don't. For our project, we're using Nokia 6680 and; let me tell you, connecting it to a PC for development purposes is really HARD!!!

also dont forget modprobe bnep before typing pand --connect <btaddr>. you can also view info from your phone using hcitool info <bdaddr> from the terminal.

hope this helps.
