Bluetooth DUN

Bluetooth DUN (dial-up networking) allows one to set up Bluetooth networking using a cellular device and a device supporting Bluetooth SPP/DUN profile.

While Bluetooth PAN offers slightly faster connection speeds than DUN, but DUN does not require having to install any extra software packages. This method also works for software versions older than OS2008.

Nokia N8x0

  1. Goto 'Menu → Tools → Control Panel → Bluetooth → Devices → New'
  2. You should see your phone or PC, pair up with it. I recommend using a 10-digit or greater pairing code
  3. Set it as a "Trusted Device"... I haven't tried it the other way yet
  4. Goto 'Connectivity → Connections → New' in the Control Panel
  5. Choose GPRS → Next
  6. Leave Access Point and Tel# at defaults, leave user/pass blank → Next
  7. IF you chose not to specify the remote IP on the PC side (see above) THEN choose Advanced → IP Addresses and put in an appropriate IP and DNS servers.
  8. Goto 'Phone' in the Control Panel
  9. Choose your new Device from step 2. It is now 'selected'. If you don't do this then it won't show up in the Connection Manager.

Nokia 770

  1. Goto 'Menu → Tools → Control Panel → Phone → New'
  2. You should see your PC. Make a pairing with it. I recommend a PIN of at least 10 characters.
  3. You will get a warning that you can only use the phone for Dial-Up Networking, not transferring files. Use class 0x120108 in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and set up OBEX if you want file sharing, see http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/sobexsrv.php
  4. Goto 'Connectivity → Connections → New' in the Control Panel
  5. Choose 'Packet Data' → Next
  6. Leave Access Point and Tel# at defaults, leave user/pass blank → Next
  7. IF you chose not to specify the remote IP on the PC side (see above) THEN choose Advanced → IP Addresses and put in an appropriate IP and DNS servers.
