Since Bluez utilities have been updated to the version 4.x I’ve found quite complicated to share the internet connection of my linux box (actually an Ubuntu 10.04 – Lucid Lynx) with my Palm Centro.
So I’ve investigated the issue a bit and this is how I get it working:
1. pair the phone and the pc using the standard bluetooth interface (on the taskbar)
2. sudo apt-get install bluez-compat
3. gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
4. Uncomment the line “net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1”
5. sudo sysctl -p
6. gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/dun
7. paste inside the file (and adapt it to your network configuration):
115200
# IP address of PC : IP address to be assigned to Palm
192.168.2.1:192.168.2.2
local
# put your DNS server IP down here:
ms-dns 192.168.0.1
noauth
debug
8. sudo /usr/bin/dund --
listen --
persist --
msdun call dun --
nodetach
9. launch the connection from your phone, it worked for me… Good luck!
