Sender: bluez-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net List-Unsubscribe: , List-Id: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 17:52:30 +0200 Dear all, We have a Linux application which captures IP packets from given network interface. Our current configuration is such that we have a bridge (br0) containing eth1 and bnep0 interfaces and its working wonderfully. However we would like to have only bnep0 interface so that there would not be need for eth1 device. We have tried to use this bnep0-only approach, but it is not working properly. What we see is: 1) PAN connection itself is successfully established 2) bnep0 interface is up 3) we can ping from mobile phone (device connected with PAN to Linux), but we don't get replies back to mobile phone. We see though that ping packets flow through our software to both directions i.e. ping-replies are written to bnep0 too. 4) the state 3) stays there until we ping/traceroute the mobile phone from the machine where the bnep0 interface is. After ping/traceroute command the reply-ping packets start to flow to mobile phone too. This is rather odd behavior and because we are not expert of PAN nor Bluez we are wondering what could reason for above behavior. With "bridge solution" there is no need to poll back the mobile connected via bnep0/br0 instead everything works just fine after the bluetooth connection is established. Can the bnep0 interface be actually used instead of eth# or br# interface at all? -- << Tuomo-Markus Tikkanen <> Tuomo.Tikkanen@nokia.com >> << Nokia Research Center <> Phone: +358 71 803 6480 >> << P.O.
