Sorry but off the top of my head, I don't know as I haven't tried to do that in a while.

my mac couldn't connect through PAN! It's saying "Bluetooth PAN has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet". Please help - mrirussel@gmail.com

First of all thanks for the Article!
Currently I have my WM6.1 connected to an XP VMWare (USB) and trough this I share the internet connection back to my mac which works beautifully and fast. The only downside is I have to boot my VMWare everytime. So I've used your instruction to get a connection to my phone. Everything works fine but it's daaaarn slow. With a little luck google.com will show up after 3 minutes.
Any idea from here? Further settings, optimization? Phone lies beside MAC so range shouldn't be a problem.

Hi - I have a slightly different, maybe more basic, but essential issue. I have an AT&T Tilt and cannot get it to pair via bluetooth with my Mac at all. I spent 35 minutes waiting to talk to someone at HTC and when he finally got on the phone just told me that you cannot pair a windows mobile device with a Mac. That seemed strange to me given that Macs and PCs network all the time. I am assuming from these other posts that people have set the Bluetooth connection up because you're all working on much more complicated things. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks
Jon

Got it all working with a mac and an XDA Orbit from BT. Can use the internet via bluetooth and the GPRS connection from the XDA. Only thing is that the mac mail won't work. Keeps saying it can't find the SMTP server? Any thoughts?

Just a thought...my Palm Treo which I just swapped for the tytn 2, came with WM6 installed (not a patched dodgy version) and IT offers dial up networking, according the the microsoft link above, it was never fully removed only left as an option for the providers, so if vodafone left it out of their new phones, they left it in the Treo in which case is it somethingI can copy from the Treo's directory and put into the Tytn 2's windows directory???????

I'm running OSX 10.5.1 and have the PAN option but when my HTC is connected it is not listed on any drop down menu. in the connection on the top menu bar it's there and connects but I can't find it in PAN all I get is using DHCP, using DHCP with manual address, using BootP, Manually, off, Create PPPoE service and I don't know what to put in any (if any) of these to get connection). I've been trying this for two days straight now and am ready to send the damn thing back)

Very nice! How do we do the stuff other way round. I mean i have a dsl cable internet connection on my mac. I want to share my internet connection on the mac (dsl cable) using airport with my wm6 phone (htc tytn II or at&t tilt) that has wifi. I can see my computer but cant connect to it.

A tutorial like the one above would be great!

I can get everything talking... 'Connected' on the phone, but on my Mac the 'Bluetooth PAN' under 'Network' remains red. It can obtain an IP address.

If you know on an answer, please email me. Thanks, Mez.

I've got Mac OS 10.4.10 but there is nothing called Bluetooth PAN under the Network Port Configurations. I have all the usual ports but no PAN. Does this only show once you pair the devices or is it always there?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
