Bluetooth PAN (iPhone tethering) fails to establish network connection

I tried to connect my Macbook Pro to the internet using my iPhone's UMTS link. It work using the USB cable, but fails with Bluetooth. The behavior is strange:
a) The "Network" system preference shows "Bluetooth PAN - not connected" in the interface list
b) I click on connect (device is my iPhone)
c) the Bluetooth icon changes to gray with a dashed horizontal line (meaning "connected")
d) The interface "Bluetooth PAN" still shows "not connected" in the left column, but the right side shows a Disconnect button. Internet access does not work.
e) I can disconnect; the bluetooth icon reverts to its default shape.
Question: Why is there no IP connection when the link to the iPhone is established?

There is a bug, that requires to remove all other pairings with bluetooth devices before tethering will work.

  • N70 Unable to establish network connection using p...

    . . . but can browse the net using handset alone; PC suite can do other functions but OTA is not able to connect. This happened after I downloaded the latest PC Suite 7. Recommendation of FAQ/Help is to check connections settings (duh) and have cooperated with instructions. Nope, didnt work. Have tried:
    Uninstall; install of PC Suite to the letter 5x
    Reset phone to factory settings
    Use settings wizard to ensure proper internet settings
    Was recommended download usb cable driver - link is non existent
    Tested using a different N70 unit on my laptop - still no go (now doesnt that mean there is a software issue????)
    Most of the help desk tips at the call center are stop gap and rarely meant to go the distance assisting you (like when a blanket fix is recommended - go to service center to have phone software upgraded) or the standard spiel of "we'll put your case on record and we'll call you back in hours" and sometimes they do call back or not. So far in my case none of the tips have worked. I am about to reformat my pc, and if this doesnt work, then what can we say about the problem? Did we get a dud PC Suite, a lemon, a beta version?
    How then can I browse the net using my mobile as modem? I guess I am venting my frustrations here - but hey, may I challenge Nokia to find a fix for connectivity issues related to use of a Nokia Phone as a modem? Check out the discussions and you will find similar issues echoed all over. Or is Nokia just waiting for one of us indomitable tinkerers to find a solution and share it in these discussions?

    I REFORMATTED MY PC TO SEE IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MY LAPTOP SOFTWARE. I AM STILL UNABLE TO ESTABLISH NETWORK CONNECTION USING MY PHONE AS A MODEM. IT SAYS CHECK CONNECTION SETTINGS, BUT HOW FAR CAN YOU GO WITH THAT? THE CONNECTION SETTINGS ARE FINE! I CAN BROWSE THE NET USING THE HANDSET ALONE, SO WHAT GIVES? I CHALLENGE NOKIA TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

  • TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection

    Hi,
    I've launched a NetShow job against several routers. The job result is successful but appears the following message:
    Deploy successful (TELNET: Failed to establish TELNET connection to 10.253.49.34  - Cause: Authentication failed on device 3 times. Primary Login Succeeded /  Primary Enable Succeeded )
    We have only access by ssh to the routers, no telnet is configured, so that message is OK. But, how could I configure CW to try only ssh connection mode to routers? Swiches use telnet instead of ssh...so I should configure only telnet as connection mode...
    Thanks in advance.

    You can set the protocol order for Configuration Management applications such as Archive Management, Config Editor, and NetConfig jobs to download configurations and to fetch configurations. For NetShow, you can set the protocol order to download configurations.
    You havent mentioned the LMS version as path to this feature would differ. I will provide navigation link for both lms 3 and 4.

  • Cannot establish network connection

    Hi,
    I have Asus M4A89GTD/PRO USB3 motherboard and I'd like to install Arch. But I cannot establish network connection. When I try dhcpcd or dhclient, request everytime times out.

    I've tried r8169 and 8169too modules and none of them worked.

    Try to config network in /etc/rc.conf

    Hi,

    In BAM 12c, you can send data via JMS by configuring an EMS in BAM using the "self-described" payload. Make sure the date formats match correctly. You can configure an error queue which will show you any data parsing problems.

  • IPhone v3 download... network connection timed out... stopped (err = -3249)

    Trying to download iPhone Software update v3 ... furthest I've got so far is 11Mb / 230.1Mb. Eg: shows average 80kb/sec download speed in iPhone Software Update but then eventually goes down to nothing & therefore bombs out...
    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone ... The network connection timed out.
    zero KB of 230.1MB - stopped (err = -3249)
    Why doesnt 'resume' actually work like a 'download manager'? Eg: should resume from where it stopped (eg: about 1.2Mb downloaded), not start from the very beginning again... tried:
    * resetting broadband modem
    * turning iphone off/on
    * iphone passcode is off
    * turned off AVG virus scanner
    * disbled windows vista firewall
    * broadband modem connected via LAN (not wirelessly) & no firewall turned on
    * STILL having issues ... doing my head in now LOL
    This is probably about the 10th or more attempt... any help please?
    Have:
    iTunes v8.2.023
    Windows Vista
    iPhone 3G (trying to download v3 software) with 6.6Gb free space

    USB 2.0 ...
    when iphone not plugged in can still seem to 'resume' the download in itunes -> store -> downloads -> iPhone software update. Still having same problem though... managed to get as far as 15Mb, thats it.
    Virgin Broadband 3G (Optus 3G) which is known to be flaky (# of drop-outs) but why wouldn't itunes/apple have a download manager that allows downloads to keep downloading during internet connection short interupts. If I click 'pause' in the downloads screen, it goes back to 0Mb downloaded... so resume/pause doesn't work. Have probably tried over 20 times now...

    Yes, just buy a SIM-free unlocked iPhone 4 (GSM) direct from the AppleStore either online or in a retail store.

  • Using remotetap via 3G: can't establish network connection

    i have just installed remotetap on my iphone 3GS running 3.0. i am able to access my computer (MBP running 10.5.7) via my local network (WiFi). the app works flawlessly. i then followed the directions to setup my router (belkin wireless-G) for internet access. my router DOES support UPnP and when i completed the configuration via the remotetap preference pane i get this:
    http://files.me.com/jstone55/6p6ohd
    this error message suggests that everything is configured properly and forwarded to the appropriate port but something is amiss. i entered my external IP address correctly on the remotetap setting on my iphone but i get a "can't establish a network connection" when i try to connect. any ideas what's wrong?
    thanks.

    Problems connecting to the iTunes Store often stem from issues with the Windows firewall or a firewall in a router, a privacy filter (such as McAfee Internet Privacy Service or Norton Internet Security), an antivirus/antispyware utility, or a download accelerator. Start here:
    iTunes for Windows: Overview of Music Store Errors
    for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. What you need to do is temporarily disable any such service and see if that fixes the problem. If so, then if it's a firewall/Internet filter that's causing the problem and you'll need to set the offending service to allow iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store.
    Also check this:
    Go to Internet explorer ->Tools -> Internet options ->Advanced tab
    Look for the security section and make sure that SSL 2.0 is checked.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem establishing network connection to download software

    I'm trying to download new software for my iphone 3 gs (5.1) but am unable to do so, get message "network connection could not be established"

    I'm having the same problem.  And the fix on the forums is to disable anti-virus and any firewalls and that should do it - but i've done that and it's still not working for me.  i've restarted, i've checked that i have the latest software on my Macbook Pro & for iTunes.  Zilch.  Still getting the message.

    Did you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
    I hope this helps!

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • Re-establish Network Connection

    Whenever I exit from a train tunnel (while on the train), I rarely can re-establish a connection to the internet and phone service. The only way I can re-connect is to turn my phone off and on again. I even waited up 5 minutes to see if the phone will re-establish a connection. Nothing. I thought the phone is suppose to attempt to re-connect on it's own automatically?
    Also, is there a way to force it re-connect without having to turn the phone off and on again?

    The phone IS supposed to reconnect automatically however, it may be an issue with the train's speed or metal body, not sure what is going on there.  Something you can try is cycling the mobile data.  If you don't want to bother with going through the settings every time, add the power control widget to your homescreen and it can be done with two pushes of a button.  Hope this helps but, like i said, this is supposed to happen automatically and you probably have some app or a setting getting in the way, you might want to do some trouble shooting, remove some unused apps, adjust some settings, maybe you'll find the real issue.

  • Safari-Firefox both failing to load, network connected
