TUTORIAL: tether your motorola/nokia/se phone to your mac with via BT!

[Murse]

After lots of trial and error, I finally dug up a solution to getting the SDA connected to OSX.

Take a look here: http://justinblanton.com/2006/01/mac...luetooth-modem

The instructions on this site worked perfectly. Make sure you download the Ipaq modem script. One note: I originally used "guest" "guest" for the username and password. At first it connected, but failed when trying to authenticate the user. I changed to just "g" "1" and it worked fine. From what I understand, TMO doesn't require these entries, but the modem script does. Entries that are too long must gum up the authentication on the TMO side.

This should also work for the MDA since it is an Ipaq script.

i already knew this, and have been PMing my own similar solution to people--its not just for the sda, itll work on the smt5600, etc. guess i should have posted it to help everyone out, sorry to have you go through the trouble murse!

hi. i posted this question in the MDA/SDA forum with no luck. so i was hoping you could help me..

just bought an mda and a 1gb storage card. i can transfer files from mac to my mda through bluetooth just fine. but it won't ask me where to save to.. so it ends up saving to my main memory. anyway to change that?

if not, is there a way to tether my mda to my mac via USB?

hey themacace any ideas about a p910, i can seem to tether my t39 and k700i fine but the p910 doesnt seem to tether, ideas?

[The Mac Ace]

p910 should work just the same as the k700i, try a different script or try turning off error correction and tcp header compression

Is there anyway to Tunnel other protocols through this service? Since the only port available is 8080, other protocols fail to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have the unlimited plan, but I still pipe everything through SSH using a SOCKS proxy so that I can use Google and whatever other sites could potentially not work.

ssh -D 1080 -C -v -p 8080 user@host.com

This assumes you actually have an SSH server responding on port 8080 at some host.

Then you can go into System Preferences > Network> Show: Bluetooth > Proxies. Select SOCKS. Enter 127.0.0.1 port 1080. Tada.

for some reason none of the 5 scripts seem to read the phone... i've tried the above any other ideas?

Actually, my speeds are appalling. I have a Sony Ericsson W810i which has EDGE and my speeds are peaking at like 3 kB/sec. I've tried the Ericsson 28.8 modem script as well as the Sony Ericsson 3G CID 1 script. I get about 25 kB/sec when downloading on the phone itself. Any ideas about that?

I've gone through basically every permutation of switching compression flags on and off both on my MacBook and my phone.

mroach did you try the other 4 SE scripts?

[mroach]

The only difference is that they reference a different CID. I don't know why this guy made scripts with static CID references...

Hi, I tried downloading the moto scripts, but the download was interrupted. I looked and the website with the scripts is down. Is there somewhere else I can get them?

[Guest 215]

So... anyone know where else I can get these scripts? I really need the moto one. Thank you.

[Guest 215]

can anyone else post the scripts? I really need them.
