step by step aa1 tether with treo650 DUN

got a USB BT from here, http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11866, it takes about 3 weeks, or any USB BT should do. computer and phone has already been paired.

Setup phone DUN:
turn on phone/BT
Discoverable: Yes
DUN On; click OK. you now see computer icon instead of BT icon
AA1:
DUN on the phone is already on,
BT settings
Devices>Services check DUN
Options check all
COM ports Add... and choose computer initiate port (maybe device initiate port, forget which is which)

Start>Settings>Network Connections should see your phone name
Right click properties
Connect using: Modem - Std Modem over BT link (com3)
Configure... set highest speed
Phone number: #777
user user
passwd passwd

To use:
Cellphone, turn on DUN, should see a computer icon instead of BT icon
Start>Settings>Network connections>bunanson (STD modem over BT link)

enjoy,

bun

i don't think the 650 has high speed internet. even though it isn't really high speed. so your internet might be really really slow. you also have to have internet plan. which i'm assuming you do. i have 700wx through sprint. looks like you have all the motions going. if you can't make it happen. you can also go to junefabrics.com. the program is called pdanet. it's what i was using before i got a bluetooth dongle for my pc. it needs the phone sync cable plugged into pc. it does have bluetooth but i have yet to figure out how to make that happen. anyways. and just to let you know. pdanet through a wire is much faster then the bluetooth method.

 

WRONG FORUM = MOVING

 

Wrong forum = moving? mind to help me to move to the right forum? thanks.

To answer some question by snowwy66. No. It is not very slow. It tethers to my Treo650 and running 900kbs, it is a touch slower than eye blinking. For modem tethering, 1 Mb/s is quite respectable, I think.

Edit: Oh, it is already in Internet <Networking & WiFi, thanks.

bunanson,

great post. now i want to get a treo 650.

does your AAO have linux?

If so, how do you do this step on the AAO?

Devices>Services check DUN

I'm a newbe so thank for any assistance.

correct me if im wrong but isnt the treo 650 windows mobile based?

 

No. I am running window XP. Linus BT is not a newbie task, I am afraid
For window, all one has to do is to stick in a USB BT, you are almost there...

Treo700 is winCE/mobile whereas Treo650 is a palm. Early Treo700 does NOT have DUN and it is a little bit tricky to get it work. Treo650 is much more straight forward.
