Did you find the maemo-pan package? I'm not sure if it's in a separate repository or something. It also probably requires you to add some non-standard repositories to a new Diablo install. Just want to warn you it might be a bit of work if you're not used to mucking around with the tablet

In order for maemo-pan to work, you need your phone to be set as the default in the Phone section of the control panel. I haven't had any problems with my Blackjack, but I'm also using WM 5.

Oh, did you start the connection sharing app on your phone? It's kind of hidden on WM 6 phones, if I remember correctly. You can probably find the exe name online and add a shortcut for it if it's not there already.
dang, all that just to connect a phone that should connect out of the box. hope everything isnt this hard on this tablet.. not sure i have time for the learning curve! im probably going to install diablo anyway.. i figure it's the latest upgrade so i don't want to install a bunch of apps and then reinstall everything. heck, i hate reformatting my PC!. hopefully nokia just comes up with a plug-in or something to make it easier to connect with a PAN.
sounds like creating all the directories and so forth is a pain in the *****. do one thing wrong (extra space or comma or somethng) and your screwed.. anyway.. thanks and ill let you know what happends! andrew i also pm'd you regarding your blackjack. lates. Bill.
