This is an excellent

This is an excellent tutorial! I was trying to set up my 2 devices with the tradational ppc to cell phone method. Your tutorial made all the difference in making a successful connection. I have one question. Both my ipaqs , a 210 and 614c say that they have the BT DUN Profile, I now realize that the HP has stepped away from this claim on the 614c, what about the 210? This service is not listed as available on my ipaq 614c(original HP Rom modified pagepool) or 4700(Vivi's Perfect Rom)? Just wondering.

Thank-you for your neverending, vast amout of knowledge!

I think you misunderstood

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I have no problem connecting my ipaq 210 (PDA) to my homes' PC's(I use Wifi for this). What I have not been able to do is use my ipaq 614c(cellular phone/pda) as a modem in order for my ipaq 210(pda) to access the internet thru it via bluetooth PAN or DUN connection. Both device were suppose to support both. (Initially I could get the BT PhoneManager to work using the Bluetooth PAN via Internet Connection Sharing but the 210 failed to recongnize this connection once it was set up wifi.) My only other alternative to make this connection was using the BT DUN. However I was not able to see BT DUN service offered on either when trying to set them up in the BT Manager. After much reading and many hard resets I found that "The HP iPAQ 600 Voice Messenger does not support the Dial-Up Networking (DUN) profile" read here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01489230&prodTypeId=215348&prodSeriesId=3544358
I tried to install the BT DUN hack that is posted, but this did not work on my device. So I found another post from an ipaq 614 user that said he used the PDAnet software. He was right , I am not using it for its ability to connect me to my pc. As a matter of fact, I have never even used the PC side of the software, I just uninstall it. All I needed was an app that would enable my 614c to have the BT DUN Profile so that when I pair my 210 with it and then set up a connection(as shown in this tutorial)the "Dial Up Networking" option shows up in the "Service Selection" box. ( Otherwise all I have is an "Access Point") Before I installed this software, I could not get thru this tutorial because I lacked the BT DUN Profile. I am sorry if I did not make this clear. Everything works great now.
Sincerely

I have been trying to

I have been trying to connect my iPAQ 210(PDA)via my iPAQ 614cPocket PC Phone)thru my T-Mbile US connection for about a month. I managed to get my BT Phone Manager on my 210 with Internet sharing on the 614 thru the BT PAN manager but once I installed additional software it would just stop working. I tried to troubleshoot the software,(what a nightmare) but finally gave up. After days of searching forums and reading tutorials, dozens of hard resets and numerourous conversations with some of the most clueless suport techs from both HP and T-Mobile, I finally got it. I was searching the HP forums and came upon a suggestion by a 614 owner to try PDAnet by June Fabrics. Unlike the BT DUN hack that is posted everywhere, whick I could not get to work on my ipaqs, this one really works! It was made to connect your computer to your cell, but once the software is installed on the phone, I could finally make a BT Dial Up connection on my PDA. The software is very intuative.First install PDAnet on your cell phone, open it up and make sure your T-mobile data connection is selected and BT DUN is on, all boxes should be checked. Then you will need to pair your devices. Next go to the connection icon you created on the client side and douple tap, click connect. It will take you to the screen to set up an new device connection, selct the new device connection and enter a connection name(whatever you want, I just entered T-Mobile) in the phone number box enter *99# and ok or next dependng on your device. The pdanet software will automatically create the settings "Bluetooth Internet Setting" and "Bluetooth Work Settings" in your Connections on your device. Once this is done all you have to go is make sure you are connected to the internet on the host device and then click on the icon you created in the BT manager you made and select connect, chose your dial up connection tht you created and you shoul be able to access the internet.
I wish Menneisyys would review this software or post an up to date tutorial on this type of connection along with wifi and usb. It is ver frustrating that these device manufactures and mobile carriers offer all these great features and services but have no ideal how to make them usable.
Hope I helped you

hello, very nice tutorial

hello,

very nice tutorial but i've not been able to use it since

i have a samsung i600 application unlocked and bluetooth dun enabled, but no modem link, so i'm unable to set a data connection to connect via bt dun.So there is no tab saying select network, or work network or modem or add new modem connection, is there a way to enable that part of windows? thanks in advance?

Tom, the SX66 (Blue Angel) is a WM2003SE Phone Edition device. Maybe this is why it doesn't offer the DUN client ability. Dunno - I can't check this out as I don't have a Blue Angel.

BTW, are you sure you are referring to "browse ALL services" or "discover ALL services", and not just "browse file"?

It may be crippled by the GSM operator. Is it Verizon (which has a looooong record of crippling their phones)?

Another alternative is that it's been crippled by Palm itself. A lot of people think that, for example, Palm has only put 32M RAM in the 700w to "prove" to die-hard Palm OS fans that Palm OS is "better" than the Windows Mobile OS.
