I have never had a problem using internet on my laptop via bluetooth and my Sony Ericsson K800i mobile, but I soon ran into troubles when 2 people at work asked me how to do the same thing with their Nokias on Vista. Here’s what I found out…
The K800i is compatible with something called the Personal Area Network straight out of the box. Just connect turn on the bluetooth on laptop and phone, select to join Personal Area Network on the laptop and Bob’s your uncle! The Nokia didn’t seem to allow this, a lot of problems stemming from the Nokia Suite software wanting a ‘modem’ which it didn’t recognise (even though there is a Nokia modem driver installed)
In the end, I found out to skip using the Nokia Suite completely and use the dial up networking feature of Vista. Simply set up a new connection under Networking in the control panel and select Dial-Up Networking. Make sure you choose the Nokia Bluetooth modem and simply use “*99#” (without quotes) as the phone number! You should be able to select this to connect anytime you get an internet signal on the mobile.
The opposite can also be done surfing the net using your Symbian phone via a shared internet connection with your PC using Bluetooth.
You’ll need to use the GNUBOX software and follow the instructions from http://www.dotdoh.com/?p=3
