1. Open Synaptic and install the following packages:
• bluez-utils
• bluez-passkey-gnome
• gnome-bluetooth
• bluez-pin*
2. Turn your phone's BT connection and set its visibility to 'Show to all' or equivalent.
3. Open a terminal and type:
Code:
hcitool scan
You should see something like:

00:0E:07:37:7C:BD 6230i
(Your device identification will be different)
4. Open /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf in a text editor and set:
autoinit yes
security auto
pairing multi
passkey whatever-you-want
5. Press ALT+F2 and run the
Code:
bluetooth-applet
6. On your mobile phone, go to bluetooth settings, search for a new device and add your computer and pair it using the passkey you set up before
7. On your mobile phone to Start->Programs->Internet Sharing, choose Bluetooth PAN, and your NetworkConnection (Mine is T-Mobile GRPS/EDGE), and choose Connect
Open a terminal:
8. sudo modprobe bnep
9. sudo pand --connect 00:0E:07:37:7C:BD
10. sudo ifconfig bnep0
11. sudo ifup bnep0
It should assign you an IP address automatically. And thats it!
I'm actually writing this guide using my internet over bluetooth, so I know it works for sure!
