Hello everyone!!
I bet you're all frustrated checking this solution or that solution but in then end getting back to where you started at.
I've been there and done that and luckily for me, it's only been a week of sleepless nights to solve instead of months for some.
So, I am writing this thread from my Dopod 838 Pro, but it will work with any other Dopod/Hermes running on WM5:
Procedure by now I'm sure you will be used to:
1.Pair OSX and the phone. You might need to check the "any device" checkbox on OSX's pairing utility.
2. Verify to OSX that you do want to use that device as a modem (if you don't get that dialog, then you will need to create the Bluetooth connection yourself -- message me or leave a comment if you need instructions and I will reply to you).
3. Download the IPAQ GSM modem script at www.taniwha.org.uk
4. Go to your System Preferences/Network/Bluetooth/. There enter the following:
Service Provider: [blank]
Account Name: [check with provider]
Password: [check with provider]
Tel number: *99# THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!! (the *99***1# number doesn't work with the HTC/Dopod phones)
On PPP options uncheck "tcp header compression".
On the Modem tab uncheck both "enable error correction" and "wait for dial tone". From the modem drop-down menu select the iPaq-GSM modem script.
Then, click Apply and then open the "Internet Connect" application and select Bluetooth from there. Click "Connect" and you should now be connected on the net via GPRS/EDGE.
Please make sure you've followed the instructions carefully. It may sound like the same as others but the key is the telephone number.
Good luck!
Art.
