Hi, tried this with a Nokia 6300 and Leopard 10.52, initially does a bluetooth connect and then after 5 secs say it as a modem error. Odd thing is it worked with Tiger. Has to be something silly I’m doing so I’ll have a good google this afternoon and mention it here if I find anything.. thanks for the primer..
Have you tried Joiku Spot?
Use your N95 as a wifi router, sharing the connections that already exist. Winner!
Hello, I am using Nokia 6230 which is GPRS enabled phone. Please how do i connect it to browse the internet.
Thanks
Great work man it all works for me with any mobile phone which has the bluetooth.
I connected my Mac Air one time to the internet with my Nokia 6230 with ATT GPRS. I did not enter any info at all, such a APN or phone #. It connected automatically and instantly. Now the Mac always wants to connect using the phone, not my AirPort, and keeps sending a message “Could not open the internet connection device” when Bluetooth or the phone is off. How do I get rid of this connection, or make it prefer the AirPort or other wireless instead of preferring the GPRS Nokia?
I’ve beat my brains out over this. With the iPhone 3G frenzy going on in the stores I couldn’t get a genius to help. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
