How to use the 8525 as a modem through Bluetooth PAN? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hello,
I did a search and didnt find much, I also checked on Wiki and they explain how to use it as a modem via bluetooth dial up networking. I would like to use the bluetooth PAN feature in Internet Sharing but cant get it to work.
Firstly, I got the bluetooth dongle connected with the Bluetooth PAN. It tells me that they are connected and communicating with each other, the bluetooth software (bluesoleil) even provides me with an ip address, however when I try browsing on my laptop I get the message page cannot be displayed...
Can anyone please shed some light as to why it does not work?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
Seems like when the connection is established it gives the windows bluetooth adapter a weird ip address
like: 169.254.6.198
but I checked in network adapters of the 8525 everything is set for ip addresses to be assigned automatically .. strange..
in windows xp its also set to assign the ip address automatically :S
im not sure what else to do..

Launch Internet Sharing on your Hermes & set the PC connection to bleutooth PAN. Now, make sure the Network Connection is set to your correct data connectiion and press connect. It should say "Waiting for connection" Next, connect your PC & Internet Sharing should show "Connected". If you still can't surf then its a bluetooth driver issue on your PC. The built in M$ bluetooth stack (XP SP2 & >)works correctly with bluetooth PAN for sure. YMMV on others. The latest Toshiba BT stack definitely works too (based on pesonal experience).

Hey,
Thats exactly what I did, and it gets connected on both ends..assigns a weird ip address.
I tried a few Roms, but now I am using urs the latest one dev 3.2
Always was a fan of your roms, but I cant get that bluetooth pan to work.
I also tried with WIDCOMM and Bluesoleil...
I get no where..

Anyone please??
Help!!

Which bluetooth dongle you used...just curious?
Which chipset?

Ok, guys, got the problem resolved..it was the sucky bluetooth adapter from ebay "ISSC bluetooth adapter", piece of crap.. went to walmart got a usb 2.0 device for 25$ and all is well now.

Need help from a Vista user! (Internet Sharing)

I had been successfully tethering via Bluetooth with WM6's Internet Sharing function, and was doing so in XP. Well we just took the Vista plunge and I'm having an issue. The Network Connections is showing my BT connection as "Local Only" meaning I can browse other pc's on the network, but I can't get to the internet. My WiFi connection to my router connects to the internet with no problem (The Wireless Connection shows "Local & Internet Access."
So I can not get out to the internet using my Tytn as my connection. I used the "Diagnose Problem" function in Vista, and it tells me that it cannot ping IP address 192.168.0.1. This is the IP address of my router. I don't want it to try to hit that IP address, but I can't find a way to tell it NOT to. All the settings in TCP/IP protocol are set to obtain an IP address automatically. But it seems that even while using BT as the connection, it still wants to get to my router first, even though I'm not using my WiFi at all. I even tried disabling the WiFi connection. Still the same issue.
Does anyone know what I can do to get the pc to stop trying to get my router first?
Thanks!
Tell me about it! It took me an age to find some drivers that worked with my bluetooth, I ended up using the Toshiba stack. After a lot of fiddling I got it working but when it runs it is very hit and miss and I have yet to transfer anything between devices let alone surf the net! Have you tried the bluetooth set up wizard?

The internet sharing function on the TyTn used 192.168.0.1
You are saying that your router is also using the same address range.
That is a no-no. Change the router address to 192.168.1.1, and I think you will see better results.
@boz - Actually I have no issues connecting to Vista via Bluetooth, and all profiles work great (I'm using the latest Broadcomm stack). My issue is in my Network Connections, not BT itself.
@Wildbill - the Tytn is not using 192.168.0.1. The PC is trying to ping that IP address because it is the address of my wireless router, and the first time I ever accessed the net with that pc, I did so via WiFi through my wireless router at home. Now, what I am trying to do though is get on the internet in my car, while nowhere near my wireless router. But my pc still seems to want to get to my router as though I'm trying to connect to the net via Wifi, when I'm actually just trying to get to it through my phone. The PC connects to the phone with no problem, and the phone is connected to the internet, But, my problem is that I can't figure out how to tell my pc to NOT look for my wireless router's IP address first.
BT DUN was so much easier with Cingular. I wish one of the cooks could figure out how to get the DUN profile back into WM6's BT stack.
I am really confused here.
When you use Internet Sharing on the TyTn, You are using the Tytn to allow other devices to access the Internet thru the TyTn.
When you do that, the TyTn hands out the address of 192.168.0.100 and it is the gateway, and the Gateway address is 192.168.0.1.
If you have your home router using the same address range, you have the PC that the Tytn is sharing it's internet connection with seeing to addresses within the same range, and two gateways with the same address - The PC LAN card is seing the router at 192.168.0.1 and the Buetooth PAN is seing the phone gateway at the same 0.1 That is what I was trying to say. It won't work like that.
Oh ok I see what you're saying. I was assuming that when it gave me the error, that it was trying to ping my router since I knew that to be my router's address. I did not realize that the Tytn used such a similar gateway.
To correct what I said in my first post: I said that it was trying to ping "IP address"... the exact error message reads "Connot Communicate with DNS Server 192.168.0.1"
It shows a nifty little diagram of the PC connected to the Cingular Bluetooth network connection, then another line connecting to a picture of earth, which they call "internet," but there is a red "X" over that line showing that it can't connect to internet. When you click on Diagnose problem, the above error message is what comes up.
So now, I need to make sure I understand what you are saying Wildbill. I see what you mean from your post... being that I don't connect to my router anymore, ever, at all (since the pc never comes out of the car anymore, and I'm way out of range of my wireless router even in the driveway) what do I need to change? Everything in TCP/IP protocol settings are set to obtain addresses automatically.
Another interesting thing to note is that I did not have this problem when I had XP in my car, and I connected to my wireless router with that pc too. But Internet sharing worked fine with it.
If the only things connected are the TyTn and a PC, then the PC will obtain an IP from the TyTn, and it will be 192.168.1.100. It will tell the pc that the gateway is 192.168.0.1, which is the TyTn. Since the TyTn has Bluetooth 2.0, I would speculate that you could connect additional BT devices to the same BT PAN, and the TytN would likely hand out additional addreses like 0.101, 0.102, etc. I have not tried that nor have I read about it.
See that's what I gathered too. So I don't know why it can't get out to the internet, unless it's that Vista just won't let it for some reason. This bugs me because Internet Sharing worked fine in XP, and BT DUN works fine with Vista with my other phone. Unfortunately I'm getting rid of that phone. If my Tytn had a DUN profile in the BT stack I'd be fine. Weak.

I have tried this already, this just routes ad-hoc (computer to Computer) wifi connection, the wifi I connect to is infrastructure. I need to use the wifi in my pda and somehow to use it through the usb port into my vista laptop, like as a wireless receiver or using the pdas wifi whilst its connected. thanks for that route, but been there, unless i'm missing something. please let me know if so. thanks
I see what your trying to do but im not sure you can do that,
I havnt tested it but i would try this:
you could give your PC a static IP and find the PDA's IP when its connected to your laptop via USB, then enter
Attach your PDA to a WiFi network and find its IP, then connect your laptop to the PDA via USB, then give your laptop a static IP in the same subnet as the PDA and give one of the DNS servers as the PDA's IP and the other as the DNS server thAt the PDA has picked up from the WiFi network.
Make sure IE is set to 'automaticlly detect proxy setting'. In my head this should work but i have found what i think and what can actuly happen is VERY different.
Let me know how it gets on or at least post the outcome.
Thank you

WOW! you know ur stuff, but i wouldn't know the first thing about the info you gave me. do a dummies guide and i'll try it. cheers for the info tho.
Hmm, dunno if that would work - no harm in trying though..
If you connect via usb then it will setup from the activsync and the dhcp within it, normally along the lines of 169.254.2.2 - but you would have to use this subnet to switch the laptop too (don't use 1 as that will most probs be the dhcp svr) in order to communicate with the device and this is where I see the problem.
You would only be connecting to the device, u can not use the wireless subnet as you have no connection to this just the pda, so if you set your laptop to the subnet of the wifi by rights the network should just look at you blankly as it will not be able to see past the activsync connection to get to the wifi subnet.
Or at least that's how I'd see it happening.
I think i'll just buy a wireless receiver. lol. haven't got a clue what you are both telling me. thanks anyway. maybe somebody can create a cab with settings if poss, or a program?
would there not be a hack or reg change, which in the wifi-router download at start of thread, which will add or change the ad-hoc connection to infrastructure instead? or would this be impossible? thanks
btw: you a running vista on a laptop which is so old that it doesn't have wifi???
i think you should go for a wifistick (~ 10-15 €?!?)

Access internet from PC via PDA's WiFi - proof of concept

When your PDA is connected to a wireless WiFi (not cellular) network, it is possible to "share" this connection with your PC. Thus you can browse the web on your PC by using the PDA's WiFi.
The connection sharing is done by two programs: WMTunnel and SerialTunnel. WMTunnel runs on the PDA and connects to the internet. SerialTunnel runs on a PC and acts as a "gateway" by accepting connections from your web browser and forwarding them to WMTunnel. Both are connected to each other via serial line (real COM port or Bluetooth SPP).
More detailed explanation: HERE
Really dont want to piss on your fire but have you seen chainfire's WMWifiRouter? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152
As far as i know, wmwifirouter acts like a wifi access point and shares the cellular data connection.
My software shares the wifi connection.

WiFi Router is the best program to do what you want to do Go For It!
the dude means using your device as a dongle for maybe a laptop that has no wi fi
Gotta read the posts before responding. WifiRouter will not do what he's talking about.
I can't get it to work with WM5 SP and also does this work with USB to Smartphone instead of bluetooth?
Yes, it will work fine using USB. You can ignore the steps using Bluesoleil since that is for BT SPPIO.
Im trying to run WMTunnel but I get a error. This is on WM5 Smartphones.
And what's the port number for the USB?

Hi. Smartphone version will be available later.
It won't work over USB. (Serial port or BT SPP is required)

Awesome, it does exactly what it says on the 'tin'. I've just bought myself an iPod Touch and using this software, I can use my 3G connection on my HTC Trinity to download from iTunes or surf the net on the iPod, if I happen to be in a non-wifi hotspot. Its like have a 3G iPhone, before they are released and without the tie in to O2.
This thread is chalk full of stupid. It's as if nobody is actually reading the title of the thread or the first post. wtf?
Does anyone know if this is possible, sometimes my router decides to break all the wired connections, and just doesnt work for no apparent reason whatsoever, but the WiFi works fine.
It would be nice to still be able to use the 'net when this happens.
Cheers, Mike.

I tried downloading from the my.opera link that Znos gave, but continuously get an "access forbidden" message.
Thanks!
what exactly are you trying to download that you get the error msg?
i downloaded the wmtunnel and serialtunnel_setup just fine
does anyone know if that be used as a wifi adapter for the xbox 360? it would be a good use for an old apache i have laying around

Internet Sharing - Bluetooth and Multiple Clients

I'm trying to connect a laptop and a desktop with bluetooth to the internet via my HTC-S620. I have no problems connecting to the internet via Bluetooth or USB but I want a solution for 2 devices to connect.
Even though Bluetooth and PAN seem to be all the rave, especially with support for mobile devices and USB dongles, I much prefer the flexibility and configurability of WIFI. Under XP, and I assume Vista, Internet Connection Sharing easily supports multiple clients. Under WM6 this does not seem possible even though it apparently provides a DHCP server.
If it were possible to somehow to access the internet from the desktop via the laptops Bluetooth that would be OK since the laptop would be gettig internet via USB but XP auto assigns the same IP as WM6 for ICS. Ideally, both the desktop and the laptop would connect to the internet via bluetooth directly.
Anyone know of any free solutions, hacks or applications that might help?
EDIT: Ok I saw a thread over in the Hermes forum where they were able to successfully connect 2 devices to Bluetooth internet sharing by hacking the registry keys HKLM\Comm\BTPAN1\Parms
AcceptConnections 0x1(1) to 0x2(2)
MaxConnections 0xA(10) to 0x2(2)
However this hack does not appear to work on the HTC-S620 WM61.

Find my old thread on bluetooth dunn, but did you know that the bluetooth dunn codes are already in the Excalibur 6.1 ROM by Kavana and Ricky. You can connect your laptop and PC via bluetooth dunn to the Internet. I now use Kavana's latest 6.1 ROM because of the new Microsoft bluetooth stack. I now have stereo music with surround sound on my Excalibur's. Another thing, you can make phone calls via your BT headset using Microsoft's voice command..............!

I was using Bluetooth on a Windows 2003 Server for Small Business Server. I finally got tired of it disconnecting every few minutes so I use USB and all is ok there. BT PAN works just fine on my XP boxes. When on the road I often would like to have two or more computers share the BT internet. I will look into your suggestion of using DUN instead. Thanks.

Just go to your Communications Manager and select Internet Sharing and follow the prompts from there. Assuming you have BT and drivers on your PC, you should be prompted to pair the devices and establish a BT PAN.
Technology - I tried to find your BT DUN thread by doing a forum search for threads started by "technology" with keywords "bluetooth" and "dun" without success. Can you point my to the thread? Perhaps it was started by someone else.
I was unsuccessful in my attempt to have two clients connect via DUN to my HTC-S620, however, the search for a solution lead to enabling DUN on both my HTC-S620 (T-Mobile Dash with cooked ROM) and my Samsung T409. Both have EDGE data and with the connection teaming capabilites of the Intergate 8.5 software I am able to use both phone modems simultaneously. I have experienced burst speeds of 50.1KB/Sec or 501kB/sec so far.
The Samsung connects to DUN via USB cable and the HTC connects via Bluetooth DUN. Fortunately, I was able to configure the HTC USB Activesync connection as the internal network. I used a laptop that was disconnected from an ethernet or internal network so using the HTC Activesync connection was a work around. The Intergate software configures two connections for the internal network. One for the Intergate and the other for the Microsoft TCP/IP to access the intergate from the server PC. You can have other PCs use this teamed connection as well when connected and configured for a network setup. This was the final step in getting intergate to work properly. So the HTC is connected both via BT and USB.
Now here is the good part. The HTC has T-mobile Total Internet $19.99 but the Samsung has only T-mobile Web $5.99. I was able to configure the DUN settings and initialization strings on both modems for the T-mobile Web proxy (wap.voicestream.com) and (216.155.165.50:8080). The trick here was to configure Intergate to use the T-Mobile Total Internet connection as the primary or default connection. Subsequently, the Intergate connection teaming software is able to team both and where possible utilize both connections. The T-Mobile web connections can only use unblocked ports but it kicks in for port 80 and the other unblocked ports.
Connection teaming will only increase your available bandwidth with when there are multiple connections. So streaming and the like will see no improvement but surfing, downloading and other applications will see better overall performance.
Sweet!

Bluetooth PAN internet sharing

Hi,
I haven't managed to get BT internet sharing working between the TP2 and my laptop. I've been trying to create a BT personal area network that enables internet sharing. Whenever i select the internet sharing option, it claims my laptop doesn't support it.
This is bogus, because i had the same laptop with the same setup working just fine through my old Tytn II. You just enabled internet sharing and away you go! How HTC have managed to mess this up is baffling (and annoying!). Trouble is i need to route my laptop through my phone or it's not very useful.
Is there any way that is known to work?
Thanks for any ideas,
Don't know if this is feasible in your situation, but can't you just use the USB cable and ICS? Tethering through BT would be slower and less reliable than using the cable.
It is easy but I'm not sure if you aware about the new widcomm btooth settings applet. In the 3rd tab, select Networking Manager > Share Internet Connection > Follow On Screen > Done.
I am having the same problems and I have tried the network manager > share internet connection but no luck. what makes my case worse is that i have the Toshiba bluetooth stack. any ideas?
gotta try that with tp2 btw yesterday when i tried to send some files from tp2 to my old hermes (tytn) it didn't work because tp2 claims 'device does not support a suitable service to perform this operation'. however the bt-link between my lap-top and tp2 or tytn works fine and i have used the internet sharing many times with my old tytn
so maby the are some issues with the newer bt? dunno
Eureka! I have manged to get a connection and i am posting this over it. But I tried so many things that I am going to have to delete the connection and start all over again so I can create a step by step guide for anyone that may be intersted. Test enviroment is TP 2 WM 6.1 (obviously) and Toshiba laptop with Toshiba stack running Vista.
You have the same problem as i did if you will get the error msg 'remote device does not support bluetooth PAN' and have a toshiba bluetooth stack. I should be back soon. Wish me luck so I dont mess up everything.
1. Enable BT on TP2 and make device discoverable
2. On laptop right click BT icon --> options --> General --> select PAN networking service
--> yes --> ok.
3. On laptpp right click BT icon --> add new connection --> custom mode --> next --> select your TP2 --> next --> select group ad-hoc network --> next --> next --> finish.
4. On your device --> open ICS --> select bluetooth PAN --> select your PC from list of BT devices --> accept connection on PC.
You should be good to go at this stage cos it works for me. If you dont mind leaving the PAN networking icon on your taskbar then you only need to do step 1 and 4 anytime you want to share your internet connection otherwise it will be step 1, 2 and 4.
Good luck and I hope someone finds this useful. I also hope in the future there will be an easier and more straightforward way to connect. There probably is now but I just dont know it. Half bread they say is better than none. cheers
If the fix from lombardo8 does not work/apply to you - try the following:
1) Setup/ connect an ordinary BT serial port from your PC to the phone.
2) Use the Widcomm BT applet as monx suggested above to setup the rest.
I have found that I cannot initiate any BT activity from my phone to the PC without a connection made from the PC to the phone first - even though the PC and phone both use Broadcomm stacks!
Also my Tytn II worked perfectly with my PC so likely not to be a PC problem.
Hope this helps...
lombardo8 - you are the dude!
this worked! indeed, i too am running the toshiba BT stack. it's the one i found before worked. I had tried creating all sorts of new connections from the PC settings, but the difference you have found is in the BT options/general settings.
Strangely, the "select PAN networking service" box was not checked. i guess this explains why PAN networking wasnt active. however, what is strange is that this must have worked before using my old TyTn II without this setting.
So once this is enabled, it makes a connection fine!
with regard to wire tethering, this is always a handy fallback, but i have found that BT usually worked quite well, once set up and working, additionally you dont need a wire.
For the life of me i cannot get it to work with my work notebook running Win7 and my netbook running Win7 & OSX
It's driving me nuts
Why can't they just leave it simple. Damn Bluetooth 2.1
Is there any chance somebody can have a .cabs to install back the old internet sharing where there is a Bluetooth PAN in the drop down list. I figured that would be alot easier.
I had the same issues with TP2 and a Mac Book Pro. It works perfectly on Windows XP on this machine but not in OSX. I found a solution for OS X though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4101986
Thanks for the info but now i'm getting the error msg below
"Failed to establish Internet Sharing connection to remote devices as it supports only Network Access Point (NAP) mode"
What does that mean and how do i configure it in OSX?? Appreciate any help with this as i need ISC in OSX.
Well it means that TP2 thinks that your Macbook offers the internet sharing and not the TP2. I get that same message until i kill the blued and tick that mark again. Then it works until next reboot where i have to repeat the sequence again. Which OSX Version and hardware are you using btw?
Seems the new Snow Leopard fixes some issues with bluetooth. I re-paired my TP2 with Snow Leopard and this works like a charm out of the box. No more fiddling with the bluetooth daemon. Let's see if it stays that way
Just disable DHCP on laptop/PC PAN & u r ready to go.

I'd like to chime in here. I've flashed several 6.5 ROMs, but with the 23016 and 23017 sys roms I can't seem to connect bia BT ICS. The USB cable works fine. It seems that my netbook does not acquire an IP address from the TouchPro. I'd sure like to find a fix for this as I use this technology all the time.

Hi monx!
How do you disable DHCP on the PC's BT PAN profile? I'm using Widcomm/Broadcom firmware 2.1.211.299 by the way.
And if I do disable it, how will the PC get an IP address??
Thanks,

I've found the solution here. Not using the "Internet Sharing" application though but a couple of nice hacks. IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!
See attached ZIP with files and that post quoted.
