Command lines to connect your Nokia smart phone via bluetooth to your laptop

Now that we have successfully setup all bluetooth configuration to connect laptop to Nokia smart phone - all we need are 2 lines, in 2 separate shell consoles to establish the connection. The connections are ended by CTRL C.

1. rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:1E:3A:7A:AE:66 2
2. wvdial gprs
3. route add default gw 10.6.6.6

Connect laptop to N95 - and other Nokia smart phones

rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:1E:3A:7A:AE:66 2

Remember to use your own remote BT device HW address and your own channel in place of my channel 2 above.

To dial up bluetooth modem using wvdial

wvdial gprs

With gprs being the name of the wvdial.conf for the bluetooth GPRS modem connection in your Nokia N95 or other compatible Nokia smart phones.

Set route from ISP

route add default gw 10.6.6.6

The gateway IP from 3G mobile network is obtained in the ppp dialog after successful dialup - its the remote IP. All OTHER network are best stopped to avoid network/gateway confusion or errors. After your Internet activity is terminated and you wish to reconnect to your LAN or WLAN, simply disconnect your 3G connection and restart your network using:

rcnetwork restart

God bless
