Thanks, BanditRider... I will certainly give this a try.

Did you have to edit etc/ppp/options as well?

Re: Please help me use the Bluetooth DUN to my LG VX8300
 

Thanks for the link... I have seen that one before. Like I said, I have my phone working perfectly as a bluetooth modem with my laptop, so I don't think the phone is the issue. It seems to be something with the N800. And I think there is something different with the setup of the N800 vs the 770 in this regard.

I guess I need to hear from anyone who has set up the N800 successfully with bluetooth DUN to a verizon phone.

I've setup DUN to my Razr V3M and Verizon is my provider. The only issue I have is that when I "search" for connection, the DUN configuration isn't displayed. The oddity is that is worked fine before and after I upgraded the OS then it just stopped working. But other than that, it works fine. Some times, I do have to power the phone off then on again for it to work. I didn't have to manually edit any files.

Dial-up number: #777

Hope this helps,

Cecil...

Thanks for relating your experience. But did you do this on a N800 or are you a 770 user???

I have my N800 working through my VX8500 (Chocolate) on the Verizon network. Unfortunately, telling you how I got it to work is not straight forward, because I'm not sure why it is now working. Here goes:

1. I edited the /etc/ppp/options file, but had no luck connecting to Verizon.
2. I looked at the same file from a N770 - they look identical. There are only a few uncommented lines, andd they are the same.
3. I edited the N770 options file, paired my phone with a N770, and the connection worked on the first try.
4. I copied the same options file onto my N800
5. I had to re-pair the phone with the N800 & delete the N770 profie from the phone, but after all this the connection started working - even fast enough to stream audio.

6. I have no idea what was the key step, or if it will be stable. !!

Howard,

This is VERY interesting to me!!! Is there any way I can get a hold of a copy of your /etc/ppp/options file? Maybe you could copy it to your User directory and then email it to me from the N800? I would like to try this file in my N800 and see if it works with my VX8300.

If you send me your email address by private message, I will emai you the file.

Cool.... You have mail!

Re: Please help me use the Bluetooth DUN to my LG VX8300
 

I'm having a similar problem. Although mine is with an E2 ROKR and cingular. My N800 will not complete a connection to the gprs with it. (It does work with my V540 tho). I can pair just fine and the dialup starts and works, but then disconnects as soon as the authentication process completes. Can howardcb send me a mail too?

Thanks,

Jae
