Q: PPP over Bluetooth problem!

[ja_benetti]

Hi, I always read this forum, but this is my first post.

My phone is an A1200i, bought in Argentina, with its flash updated to A1200R(R532C2_G_11.30.30P)

A couple of months ago, I started trying to establish a "BlueFi" connection, using ppp over bluetooth to connect to Windows XP to share my broadband connection with my phone.

After reading several tutorials and investigating a little, I was able to establish the connection. And it seems to work well, but when I try to transfer a file via Samba, telnet to my phone and "cat" a heavy file, or browse with the embedded explorer a big page, the connection is automatically closed.

Can anybody tell me was going on here? Thanks...

Hi, funky12,

There are several tutorials out there that explains how to do it:

1) Open in your PC an outgoing Bluetooth serial port
2) Run in the phone the PPP server daemon, pppd, with the appropriate parameters to receive a connection
3) Connect your PC to the phone via Windows "Direct Cable Connection", using the port you created before

I suggest you to find in this forum, but you need some knowledge about PPP in order to make it work.


I'm working in a program to do all this automatically. But until I realize what happens with the link at heavy traffic(ie. transferring a file) it won't be very useful.

I want it too, please!
I brought a bluetooth donkey and I can't do a file transfer through this. The flashcard is not visible as a hard drive.
Thanks,

maybe mtu size is the problem

maybe mtu size is the problem

I don't think so, tried several values and the problem is still there.
