Need help connecting to Internet via bluetooth'd cell phone

I have my iBook connected to my cell phone (i-mate K-jam) via bluetooth and I'm trying to figure out how to connect to t-mobile gsm so I can get to the internet. I can access the net with my K-jam by itself, I just can't figure out how to do it with my iBook. Has anyone done this and do you have a step-by-step???
Thanks,
Tom

Fixed it! I followed this: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=6184897#post6184897 The key was to put a fake user name and password. Even though Tmobile doesn't require it, I had to put something in. d for user and u for password works...anything will work.

  • Problems connecting to internet via bluetooth from...

    I am trying to connect to the internet from my Mac PowerBook using my Nokia 5300. The phone pairs nicely and sets up but when I press "Join network on Nokai 5300" which should connect me to the Internet, the computer connects briefly to the phone after which it disconnects and a message saying : Bluetooth network failed. Your device unexpectedly disconnected. Make sure it is turned on and in range." appears. I have tried the same thing with other 5300 phones and this process worked nicely. What could be the problem? Something in settings or maybe something is wrong with my phone?

    As I understand it, if you have MacOS X 10.4.9 or later, it just works! It is a Mac after all.
    You need to make sure that the phone itself is connected to the appropriate mobile internet account. On my Australian 3 mobile that profile is called "Mobile Internet". Your network provider should be able to help with this. Once that is set you should be able to browse anywhere on the internet with the phone.
    Then just pair the phone with the Mac in the usual Bluetooth way. Use bluetooth preferences to check the services available in the phone. You need to see, "PAN Network Access Point" in the list. Your Bluetooth menu bar menu should now contain "Join Network on NameOfYourPhone" Select that and you are connected.
    If you check System Preferences -> Network you will see that a new ethernet port has appeared which unfortunately has nothing to show that it belongs to the phone. There will also be a dial up port with the name of the phone.
    SNAFUs when I first set this up it dropped out after a few seconds. Like all things computer, a restart on the Mac and turning Bluetooth on the phone on and off a few times solved the problem.
    A PAN network access point is like a WiFi access point except it uses Bluetooth and it is simpler.

  • Connect to Internet via Bluetooth with 6121 Classi...

    I have a new Nokia 6121 Classic and a Thinkpad T60 with the latest Bluetooth drivers and Windows XP SP2.
    I've installed the Nokia software and it asked to get the updated software from the Internet and installed 6.86.9.0
    It connected fine via Bluetooth (WIDCOM) and I'm able to Sync my contacts/transfer files without any problems. I then throught I'd connect it to the Internet. I tried the cable connection and it connected fine via 3G to my carrier Optus.
    However, if I don't use the USB cable and try via Bluetooth (what I want) it starts to connect and says 'Looking for bluetooth devices'...which is really strange since it's already connected !! Windows XP beeps quickly as if something has been plugged into a USB port, but nothing has. After about 20-30 secs, Windows XP beeps (as if something has been unplugged, but nothing has. The Nokia Connection Manager then says "No modem found!"
    It's so strange...it can see the Nokia phone fine via Bluetooth. I then tried to connect via "My Bluetooth Places" and XP also connected fine to the phone. It then installed another dialup connection via Bluetooth. But if I click on that icon, it connects to the phone but then asks for a userid/password which I have no idea what to enter. So I think I need to use the Nokia PC suite, but it won't connect to the Internet via the phone, unless I use the USB cable.
    It's a strange one... I've searched the forums but can't see any clues for my particular case.

    - Go into Control Panel - Phone and Modem Options - Modems - Select Bluetooth Modem - Properties - Advanced tab and enter at+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”internet”
    Dial the connection by going into My Bluetooth Places and double clicking on the icon. When prompted enter a blank userid and password. It should then connect to the Internet via your mobile !

  • N73 Connection To Internet via Bluetooth Problem

    Hi guys, I need some help...
    I got N73 ME, I'm using it as a modem with my PC(using cable) and its working good.
    My problem is, if I connect it using blue tooth I cannot connect to the internet (I can browse, transfer, backup) the only problem is the internet connection. If I try to connect, I'll get "Failed to connect to the network! One Touch Access could not connect to the selected device".
    Any help is highly appreciated.

    reinstall your bluetooth drivers or pc suite?
    and try !!
    i did that,and my problem is now solved ..
    also check your dial-up settings after re-installation,

  • Need help connecting to internet wirelessly

    Please help. I just had Comcast high-speed Internet installed in my home yesterday. I opted for their free d-link modem and wireless router promotion. When I connect the modem directly to my g4 ibook, I have Internet access. However, I'm having trouble connecting the d-link router. (I swear I've read the directions, but I don't understand.) The Internet coaxial hooks to the modem. The modem hooks to the router. The tech at d-link told me to connect the router to my laptop to "configure it"--whatever that means. Apparently he did it for me through the Internet. But then when I unhook the router from the laptop to use the Internet wirelessly (that's the point, right?), I lose the Internet access. I consulted the Apple manual for help, but it seems to only give me directions for configuring my laptop for a wireless connection to an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. I'm not using an Airport Extreme Base Station. I have a d-link router. (The tech at Apple said they're the same thing.) Do I need to tell my computer to recognize the d-link router? How do I do that? I am very frustrated at what is probably something very obvious to all you computer-literate people out there. Please speak slowly for me.

    Thank you for responding, Duane. Since I am at work right now, and my laptop is at home, I went to the AppleStore site to look up the specifications of my laptop. It has a built-in 54 Mbps AirPort Extreme (Wi-fi 812.11g). That's what you mean by an AirPort card, right?
    So it seems I'm ready? You say to make sure AirPort is enabled? I will check that as soon as I get home, but I do recall the AirPort icon at the top (a gray icon that resembles radio waves) and I even clicked on it yesterday--from what I could tell through my tears of frustration--but I think it said "no network is available". What do you mean when you say choose my "network name" from the AirPort menu? What is a "network name"? I must be doing something wrong.
    Based on my obvious cluelessness, you would be surprised at the ways I incorporate the use of technology in my classroom. I can teach my students to use Apple programs in amazing ways, but I am ignorant when it comes to a lot of the vocabulary that's necessary to work my way through this wireless router matter. Please bear with me.

  • Need help connecting to internet with wireless card

    I am currently able to connect 4 Mac laptops and 1 G5 desktop to my Airport Extreme without any problems. I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a Dell Truemobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI card that recognizes my AE and connects to it, but I can't get it to connect to the internet. I've tried using the internet connection setup wizard for an isp with username and password but it wants to configure a dialup connection. I've tried just double-clicking on my Internet Explorer icon but it won't connect. I know I've overlooked something(s) but I would like to know if there a procedure that someone can walk me through to get connected. I've also tried using a Belkin USB wireless adapter which also recognizes the Airport, but I still can't get connected. Any help would be greatley appreciated. Steve

    What "bands" does a Truemobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI card support? 802.11a/b or 802.11b/g ?
    Start Menu -> Run -> cmd -> ipconfig
    Are you getting a valid IP address for your private LAN ?

  • Need Help Connecting a projector via HDMI

    Hey @Davidm123 ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand you're experiencing an issue with poor video output to your projector.
    According to the product page you have linked, the projector has a native resolution of 320 x 240. This would likely explain the poor video output.
    You should be able to confirm the resolution settings in the Screen Resolution menu of Windows by right clicking on your Desktop and selecting Screen Resolution.
    Thanks.

  • Need help connecting two macbooks via ethernet

    im at home trying to get my snow leopard disc to install on my macbook. my optical drive is busted so i was trying to use my brothers macbook pro to mount the image and then boot my machine to it.
    i only have an ethernet cable. can anyone help us? thanks in advance.

    Ethernet or wireless isn't usable because in order to access the drive you must have File Sharing enabled on the computer which you cannot do unless the computer is booted into OS X. If it's booted into OS X you cannot install on it without losing file sharing capability.
    A possible workaround if you can get it working is to use Remote Disc Access as is used on the MacBook Airs. See the following:
    MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks;
    MacBook Air- Sharing DVDs or CDs with Remote Disc.
    The software can be downloaded from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Nokia 3230 unable to connect to internet via USB c...

    when i use CA-53 cable to connect to internet using nokia pc suite7.0.8.2 (one touch access) an error message pops up "unable to connect to the speified device make sure the modem is configured properly" but i can easily connect to internet via bluetooth   other functions like file manager , contacts , messages and back up can be accessed by using the CA-53 cable

    I called a vw dealership (in South Australia) today because I have an iphone5 and a Tiguan and experienced the same thing (after i had purchased the lightening/30pin adapter).
    I was advised that the media interface software is not compatible with iphone5.  VW will eventually update the software according to ol'mate at the dealership, but it will be at an expense to the consumer allegedly.
    I know that there is a iphone/vw media cable one can purchase from VW however, I believe this to only work with iphone4 or older?
    Maybe try an older generation ipod to use for the car if all ur music is in itunes?
    if anyone can correct me, I'd be more than happy to know... going to try my older generation ipad and see if there is any truth to the tale.... eventually.  Until then i'll stream via bluetooth :-)

  • I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought iPad (today). What hardware do I need to set up wireless LAN so iPad can be used anywhere in house? Will Linksys work with Apple?

    I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought an iPad2 and need to know what hardware do I need to add wireless LAN so I can use iPad anywhere in the house. Will a Linksys router work with Apple? Can Mac be "hardwired" and iPad wireless? Probably stupid questions but I need to learn. Thanks.

    Thanks for the info. You are correct. I was speaking in general terms here based on my experience with the two devices in day to day use, and not in terms of exact specifications.
    A better choice would have been to say that the "coverage" is about the same with the edge going to the Extreme....due to the newer mutliple antenna design.
    We sure could use more help on the forums. Hope that you will become a regular.
    Hi Bob
    RF is a minefield, but one that I have worked in for ages, the most critical factor in my experience is location, location, location!
    Better routers have more intelligently designed antenna systems, output power as I said is the same, radiation pattern (coverage) is dependent on antennas and physical location more than all other factors.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • Connect iPhone to Internet via Bluetooth

    I have a computer set up sharing ethernet internet connection via bluetooth.
    How do I connect iPhone to the Internet via bluetooth? (No cellular network, no wifi)
    You cannot. There is no network connection available TO the iPhone over bluetooth. When tethering becomes available, you will be able to tether your laptop using the iPhone as an Internet connection, but not the other way around. The iPhone CAN use wifi for its internet feed though, but not bluetooth. Bluetooth only supports headsets today.

    When you use the Airport utility what happens?
    What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

    Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
    Things to consider before you begin
    Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
    When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
    The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
    You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
    You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
    If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.
