Bluetooth Network Connection between Palm Treo 680 and Ubuntu 8.04

SysAdmin Add comments

I’m a proud owner of a quite outdated but otherwise extremly reliable Palm Treo 680. For software testing reasons I require a network connection from my Palm to a Ubuntu 8.04 box using bluetooth.

  1. Pairing the 2 devices
  2. Setup a connection on the Palm using Local Network via Bluetooth with 115.2000 Bit/s
  3. Setup a Network using the connection defined above
  4. Tell the Bluetooth Manager of your PC to start the Networking service on startup via autostart=true in /etc/bluetooth/network.service
  5. in /etc/default/bluetooth set
    DUND_ENABLED=1
    DUND_OPTIONS=”–listen –persist –msdun call treo”
  6. create /etc/ppp/peers/treo with
    115200192.168.2.1:192.168.2.2
    local
    ms-dns 127.0.0.1
    noauth
    debug

    where the first IP is your Ubuntu box and the second one will be assigned to your palm

  7. after a /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart you should be able to connect.

In case you suffer from a Serieal Port Error Message you should call dund manually by issuing

sudo killall dund
sudo dund –nodetach –listen –persist –msdun call treo
