PAN and Bluesoleil stack

[Registererer]

I own 2 Magician devices (A and B), both Bluesoleil stack installed and working. Problems arise when i try to connect the two devices directly via pan. On Device A i initiate the PAN connection via "Bluetooth Manager->Device B->Scanning Services->PAN". Now Device A shows (status) an PANGN connection outgoing and B has an PANGN connection incoming. Device A starts IE and a getting IP dialog right after connection initiation.

So far so good. But both devices are on completely different subnets. While Dev. A is on sth. like 169.254.182.118, B's IP is completely different. Now if i try to fire up a game of snails for testing on A, i see the game open on B but joining leads to system hang. (Tried Warfare Inc., same results.)

As i am pretty new to this topic, maybe so. can tell me what went wrong... is it even possible to build up a PAN that way?!

Best Regards,

Very intresting.

I played Snails between Magician and Windows XP PC and all was good.

Try to join from device B to Device A, or try to disable DHCP service and setup IP manually...

thx for your reply. your answer triggered sth in my ol'rusty brain :) ... There ARE options to change ip/mask/gw etc. but they aren't to be found under bluesoleil settings :)

lol

thx again,

I just noticed something weird: both of my Magicians have the same hw-address: 00:02:5B:00:A5:A5... that's why my PAN network (using Bluez stack and Debian) always keeps disconnecting one of the devices. it thinks it's the same device. any way to change this address?

i think that is also the reason why i am not able to play games ....

Maybe this address is hardwired in the BT stack. Chances are you find this string in the .CAB used for installation. If so: you can change it to your liking.

We have the same problem here, also opened a new topic about this.

A friend and I have a Magician, and like yours the same bluetooth adress
(00:02:5B:00:A5:A5)

The weird part is that when we just both installed bluesoleil, we were able to play warfare over the PAN.
But 2 days later, it stops working??? As you said, every time one tries to connect, it hangs. Have to reset every time.....

I tried to change the adress in the register, but no luck so far :( It changes back by itselves?

Does anybody know a solution? And can someone confirm that the problem is caused by the same device name?

thnx
