You need to follow the steps below to connect to the internet using a bluetooth connection:
1: Switch on bluetooth on your phone and the computer. Make both your computer and phone visible to other devices. 2: Do a search from Linux for bluetooth devices near you. For this, you need to follow as: Open terminal / shell / console (whatever you call it) switch to root user using the command ' su'. pass the command ' hcitool scan ' After sometime you will get the list of devices with their device address (also called as MAC address) and the device name. . . It will look something like: 12:12:12:12:12:12 PhoneName Note down the device address of your phone (it will appear the place of the 12:12:12:12:12:12 , but in a similar format). You will need to use it later. 3: Now, you need to find which channel on your phone is assigned to what service on the phone. For this you will need to browse the device services. To do this, pass the following command: sdptool browse 12:12:12:12:12:12 NOTE: Replace 12:12:12:12:12:12 with your phone address. You will get something like this (I am showing the output I get for my phone): Code: Browsing 00:18:13:47:13:BE .
