Hello, > If you have tracked bluetooth list you know I am trying to setup a > bluetooth LAN. Let me explain what I achieved so far: now I have setup a > bluetooth LAN access server, rfcomm_pppd runs and listen to channel 7, > accepting ppp connection without authentication (I didn't figure out how to > accept multiple connection yet, but now a single computer can DUN to me.) > Now I can have FreeBSD/Windows computer connect me and samba each other:) good. i think you meant to say LAN (not DUN) :) those are two different profiles. o DUN - DialUp Networking - where client uses Bluetooth RFCOMM connection to connect to a *real modem*, i.e. in order to start PPP/SLIP/RAS etc. session the client *must* sent AT commands to dial a number and wait for CONNECT etc. o LAN - LAN Access Using PPP - *very* similar to DUN, i.e. client uses Bluetooth RFCOMM connection to connect to *NULL modem*, i.e. client starts talking PPP *right after* Bluetooth connection is establised. (no AT commands, no waiting for CONNECT etc.) > Now the problem comes with MAC OS. Someone in my office is using notebook > running MAC OS X. She is a typical designer, don't know a bit about > bluetooth/ppp; and I don't know a bit about MAC OS. On her network > configuration -> bluetooth -> ppp there is a button "connect now", click on > the button I am prompted with username/password, fill with random > username/password I am rejected with "modem doesn't response". In bluetooth > ppp configuration there is a modem selection list, about 50 modems, oops > what is the modem for a FreeBSD server? it should be pretty straight forward with Mac OS X. few people have reported success. what you need to do first is to perform 'discovery' (or 'search'/'inquiry') on Mac laptop (there should be a button for that) and make sure you see FreeBSD server. when you start Bluetooth on FreeBSD make a note of BD_ADDR. make sure Mac laptop can see this BD_ADDR. FreeBSD BD_ADDR is the "modem" you should connect to. use empty user name and password. again you should use LAN profile *not* DUN because you do not need to "dial a number" to get to the PPP server. > I guess it must be a hard problem to work on, perhaps I need suggestions > from people who know both MAC OS and FreeBSD, but I don't even know which > forum/mailing list where MAC OS gurus usually meet. I googled around > without luck: on google they are mostly talking about MAC OS <-> bluetooth > cell phones. If you can simple guide me to a good MAC OS list that would be > helpful! again it should be pretty straight forward and it is known to work with Mac OS X. thanks, max __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
