Internet Sharing Hermes WM6

[sergeb]

I'm trying to use my WM6 Black 8525 as either Bluetooth or USB modem. Cannot connect to my Thinkpad T60 laptop built-in Bluetooth as it only has Active Sync Bluetooth Service nor my Vista finds any devices that support PAN.

Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance!

in vista do not try to get the modem over bluetooth working as pan. Do it as a dial up connection from the settings in internet explorer. On my hp I just partnered the bluetooth then went to add connection in ie. i found it with no trouble. I think it must be very dependant on the bluetooth stack on your pc. On my hp there is a process running called BTStackServer.exe that is doing it. On my dell this is not the case and it just will not work. In that case I use the wireless modem program built into the phone with a usb cable. following the instructions in help gets it to work fine.

I have also used the usb method on two xp desktops so it works just about everywhere.

With the pan, i think the problem with windows mobile devices is that they are acting in the same direction as a pc would. They are looking for a device, not acting as one. I bought a bluetooth dongle for one of my xp machines and installed the bluesolie software (stack?) and both ends showed the other as a pan device but both ends just waited for the other to expose their functionality until they timed out. i tried it with a hermes and a trinity.
