[HOWTO] N900 Bluetooth-PAN Tethering (N900 supplies Internet Access for PC) - Page 3 - maemo.org

9000 | # 21 | 2010-08-16, 03:20 | Report

If you can pair them up then you're 80% success.

Did you join PAN on client side? It must be done after pairing up. You may see bluetooth has lots of function, it doesn't activate all functions by default, you need to trigger it manually on client side.

Also, depends on some client platform, you need to activate the script *after* client pairing up and join PAN.

In your case, please follow:

1) Pair up Bluetooth
2) Join Bluetooth PAN on client side
3) Choose Internal connection manually on N900
4) Activate the script on N900
5) Setup DNS on client (as shown the the procedure)
6) ping yahoo.com, or browse the web directly on the client side to see it works

Hope this help.

I am using Windows 7 with no software for my bluetooth (it came without) so I have the bluetooth device in Devices and Printers.

There I have the pairing with my N900 and I press Connect -> Direct Connection.

After it says "successful" in Network Connections the Bluetooth PAN shows "Connected to WorldKaoss", IP is set-up manually packets are sent but none recieved.

PC Connectivity in my settings (on the phone) by default was set on "None" so all the settings (Internet, Wlan, Bluetooth,etc) are disabled. Should I use the "Default" profile for the PC Connectivity Manager?

You should select None in PC connectivity. I just make use of its PAN support only. No configuration on it is needed.

Make sure you don't have firewall (blah blah) blocking your way. Please show me the following outputs for investigation:

On client side:

Code:

ipconfig /all
route print

On N900 (after script is activated)

Code:

root
ifconfig bnep0
route
iptables -L -t nat
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Man you've quite a lot of networks in one system you know that. ^^

First thing I saw is that the WiFi get in the way in the default routing:

Code:

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.10 25

Such that the PAN (0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 296) is never reached.

To make the case more complicated, you've wifi routing activated in your N900, such that you've two default routes in your N900: (http://img190.imageshack.us/i/87881079.png/)

If you're not that familiar with tcp/ip routing, you should really turn off everything else before connecting to another network you've never got it worked.

Try again and let me know the result.

WorldKaoss | # 26 | 2010-08-16, 04:11 | Report

I disabled every connection and tried again but it's still the same.

One thing I noticed is that in "Status" for the Bluetooth PAN (on my PC) it says:
IPv4: No Internet Connectivity
IPv6: No Network Connectivity

I will try again when I wake up as I haven't slept at all and it's 7:11 AM.

I will post the progress

thanks

Also I found that you have not set the IP of the client right:

Code:

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 296

Shouldn't you set the client as 192.168.1.2 instead?

Good night. Have a nice dream and don't fall into Limbo.

WorldKaoss | # 28 | 2010-08-16, 04:21 | Report

I've set the client IP 192.168.1.2 and the Gateway 192.168.1.1 (the settings are still the same now).

I will check more on this when I wake up.

I see. I'd probable asleep with you awake. Just few thing to note:

1) Make sure not other default route (0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0) on top of your PAN in route print
2) After paring up and join PAN, activate the script on N900 again

Have a nice dream.

Although setting sudoers is better, but it seems to confuse a lot of people. I've made change to the procedure section 4.3.3 to run the script directly with root privilege:

Code:

echo "/home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh" | sudo gainroot
