OpenSUSE Network :: Phone As Bluetooth Access Point

Mar 29, 2010

I have recently installed open suse 11.2 on my hp hdx18 laptop replacing windows 7. trying to use my phone as a bluetooth access point so i can connect to the internet when im out and about and there isnt a bt openzone network around. my phone is a sony ericsson w910i. i can connect to my phone via blue tooth and use it as a remote control and browse, send and receive files. but cant figure out how to use it as an access point to the internet. win7 had an option to connect via access point giving me instant internet access over the vodafone mobile phone network, but i cant find an option like that in open suse, if there even is one.

Ubuntu Networking :: Using Internet Via Access Point Of Phone Using Bluetooth?

Jul 31, 2010

I've a Nokia 2323 Classic which I want to use to access to the internet on my laptop.

A friend of mine with a Dell Inspiron 15 running Windows 7 could connect to the net by just pairing up and right clicking on my phone's icon in the devices menu and selecting connect to internet via access point.

I've an eMachines E725 which lacks bluetooth. To overcome this I used a dongle which was able to successfully pair up with my phone via the bluetooth menu in preferences.

So what next ? How do I use the phone to connect to the internet directly via access point ?

I noticed that I did not need any operator related settings to do so in windows 7 and the phone worked regardless of SIM card present so I assume it should work similarly in linux.

What is left is to ask the system to treat it as an internet access device and use it that way.

How do I do it ? I don't mind a commandline way but a GUI would be better because I'm not the only person using my laptop.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Connecting To A Mobile Phone Via Bluetooth?

May 24, 2010

I have HP mininote 2133 with Suse SLED 10.I am trying to connect internet via bluetooth and a mobile phone. The machine itself does not have bluetooth, but it recognizes the Belkin bluetooth gadget, which I inserted into the USB port. I started the bluetooth with Yast and "Information about the equipment (I don't know what the correct term is in English, because my OS is in Finnish language)" tells that there is Belkin Bluetooth adapter connected.But my mobile phone cannot find my computer (there is nothing wrong with the phone, because it can find other computers!) when I try to pair up the phone and the computer

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Stream Audio From Phone Over Bluetooth To Computer

Dec 11, 2010

I'm using it on a small IBM machine in my closed ( ) which is my multimedia center, file sharing, router, http server & others. To escape the cable paradox, lately I came up with an idea to stream music from my mobile phone (LG GD880) via bluetooth to my SUSE box (which has it's audio output linked to my HIFI Sound system). This means pairing the devices and of course set the SUSE box as reciever. I found how to accomplish this here and here .

The problem: While trying to complete the above tutorial(s), I found that in /etc/bluetooth there is no ' audio.conf ' file, only ' main.conf '. If I insert the option: Enable=Source in main.conf, it has no effect what so ever. This means that org.bluez.AudioSource will not show up in D-Feet, thus I cannot take the next steps. What can I do? Is there another way to accomplish the audio streaming?

Networking :: Get Wireless Access Point Working In Home Network?

Apr 17, 2010

I have had this configuration at home for years, but I just changed my line provider and I cannot get it to work.

I have a desktop machine with two ethernet interfaces, eth0 and eth1. Etho is connected to the cable modem and that seems to be working fine - well, I'm posting here, right? Eth1 is connected to a Linksys WAP54G wireless access point. I have eth1 set to 192.168.1.240 and the AP set to 192.168.1.245 (the default). The desktop runs CentOS and I have dhcpd running, and I have focused on the dhcpd.conf file, which I have changed many times. Here is the latest incarnation:

Code:

# DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample

Ubuntu Networking :: Network Manager Chooses Wrong Access Point?

Sep 1, 2011

I connect to the WPA2-secured wifi of a university. They use 802.11b/g on the 2.4 GHz band and 802.11a/n on the 5.2 GHz band. Both have the same SSID xyz (for roaming).Now, when I connect to the SSID xyz, ubuntu 11.04 (natty) chooses the Access Point with the highest Strength. However, this is a 802.11g Access Point which is very slow because of high usage and there is no 802.11n available. Slow pings make it unusable.network-manager is just too stupid to connect to the much faster 5GHz 802.11n AP.Windows 7 autmatically connects to the 5GHz 802.11n Adapter with 300Mbit/s. That's what I would expect from ubuntu as well. I think Mac OS X also performs great in such situations.

The only workaround for me is to enter the BSSID (Mac-Address) of the 5 GHz AP directly in network-manager. That works and I have 802.11n with up to 300 Mbit/s. However, this is not the perfect solution, because now I can't use roaming any more (we have lots of APs here!).Do you have any Ideas to prefer 5 GHz band over 2,4 GHz band? I also tried the "band" gconf option as well as kernel module options of module iwlagn with no success.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Access Point Not Recognized?

Sep 19, 2010

I decided to change my DSL internet connection to cable and WiFi. So far so good, and under Windows, the system is very well working.

I use openSuse 11.1 but I can't establish contact between my computer and the new Wireless N acces point.

I have a Ralink network card, which functions under Windows.

/usr/bin/lsusb gives this result : bus 001 device 006 ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501 Wireless adapter

dmesg | less gives (amongst others !) - so my card is recognized :

usb 1-1.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=148f, idProduct=2573
usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0

[Code]....

The wireless access point I bought from the cable company is a D-Link Model DIR-615 which should be capable of IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. I have its MAC ID.

When in YAST, I want to make my computer hook on to my D-Link router (my new access point), I go to YAST Manage Network Wireless and I want to fill in BSSID, I get stuck.

Ubuntu :: Bluetooth Between PC And Mobile Phone?

Feb 27, 2010

So I can send pictures from my phone to my PC, I've bought a Bluetooth USB adapter, just a cheap one.

System>Preferences>Bluetooth without the adapter says 'no adapters are plugged in'. With the adapter in I get a preferences screen to find new devices, so my PC is seeing the Bluetooth adapter. I've then got it to successfully find both my phone and my wife's and entered the provided pin into each phone. My desktop is duly listed as a device on each phone.

However, if I try and send a picture from either of the phones to the PC the phone says it can't see any devices and the sending fails.

Also, how do I send files the other way, from PC to phone? I installed Obex but it simply hung then closed itself.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: 3Com OfficeConnect USB Will Not Associate With Access Point

May 19, 2010

Running OpenSuSE 11.2 32 bit dual boot with XP. 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g USB dongle connects and works happily in XP. Can not get it to associate with the same AP in Linux.

Device identified as:

Device 3CRUSB10075 wlan0
Driver zd1211rw

Appears to be installed, to the extent that it sees the broadcast SSID. Output of /usr/sbin/iwlist scan correctly identifies the ESSID and encryption (disabled) More particularly, /usr/sbin/iwconfig outputs that the "Access Point: Not-Associated"

Ubuntu :: 8.10 - Cell Phone Not Seen In Bluetooth Applet

Jul 26, 2010

I am trying to connect my cell phone through a Bluetooth dongle in Ubuntu 8.10 but when I try setting up a new device my cell phone is not seen. I tried reading some guides, I installed everything needed but still it doesn't work, some files are even missing (probably because they guides are for older versions of Ubuntu but i can't find a new guide on it) like.

I tried the following commands:
jessica@jessica-desktop:~$ sudo hcitool scanScanning ...
00:16:75:15:14:81 Hill Billy
jessica@jessica-desktop:~$ sudo hidd --connect 00:16:75:15:14:81
Can't get device information: Success
jessica@jessica-desktop:~$

I guess they work but how come my device is still not seen in the Bluetooth applet? How can I send files? Why can't I connect to the computer using my phone? I don't want to depend on windows for this too.

Fedora Networking :: Bluetooth PAN With 3G Phone / Connected But Not Able To Work?

Dec 3, 2009

I have a liveusb running Fedora 11 on my hp laptop. I would like to use my T-Mobile Dash 3G unlimited data connection. I have seen many posts regarding wvdial, modem scripts, etc that are going a little over my head. I was able to connect my phone to the laptop, but when I tried to initiate internet sharing on the phone via Bluetooth PAN, nothing happened on the computer. I was connected but not able to do anything.

I saw some developer in a blog mention that he had put Bluetooth PAN support in Fedora 12. Is this not available in F11? Should I try moving to a F12 liveusb for this?

Has anybody had success getting a Tmobile 3G to work with F11?

I would rather use the USB connection so I could charge simulteously, but this looks a lot tricker.

I am using KDE. I found many complaints about the same problem, but they all date from 2007-2008, so I guess this is not the same problem.
