Hello
After activate the ICS on wm6 (HTC pharos 100 wm6.1 ?? ), my netbook eeepc under mandriva 2008.1, mount correctly the BNEP0 interface ...

on linux EEEpc I can :
ping www.google.com
nslookup 72.14.207.99

the route command print correctly the default gateway to bnep0

but I can't browse with Firefox or Opera (preferences are Direct connected to internet)

I try using wget ... connection refused

I try wget with different port but same message.

On another linux box, connected with ethernet, the same command start saving html page, as normal ...

I suppose it's a firewall problem, but how to modify the WM6 firewall ? (no firewall started on linux)

Could it be a provider lock ?(french BouyguesTelecom)? (my htc is new)

Regards

I reply to myself ...
after some tests ... and 1 web page loaded sucessfully :

my connection is apparently with EDGE, and I don't have constant connection ...

I start ping ... google reply 5 times .... and mothing during 30seconds, and ping again ...

when pinging, the web page can be load ... after, web browser wait, and go into timeout ...

I will find if we can increase timeout on linux Opera web browser (Firefox have a really small timeout minus than Opera)

I will ask to Bouyguestelecom, about this network issue.

in fact Bouygue Telecom, block modem phone usage, with standard Web & Surf option.
To resolve this :
1> trying to modify the User-Agent of linux browser (I try 1 time but don't works)
2> subscribe to the "Data Pocket" option which allow the modem phone usage

I try the 1st solution using

wget --user-agent="Opera mobil;......." but still have the :80 connection refused

Is anyone have a good solution to user the wget parameters ?

Hey I know it's an old post but I have been stuck in the same situation as the OP for weeks until I found a solution.
I got full internet connectivity by setting the PAN (bnep0) connection's MTU to the bluetooth connection's ACLMTU value and it worked first time!!!!!!!!!
Until then I believed my SIM card or phone was locked or my provider limited internet connection sharing but the solution was simple and as described above!!!!!
Anyone wanting more detailed information about this can address me in the forum or PM medirectly!!!
