[Bluez-users] Connecting to cell phone DOES NOT WORK

[Bluez-users] Connecting to cell phone DOES NOT WORK

[Igor Chudov]

I have Fedora Core 6, and its stock BlueZ stack. I also have a
motorola V557 phone and a TrendNET USB based bluetooth device.

Things do not work well so far.

I have the following symptoms:

1) hcitool scan works and sees my phone
2) hcitool cc does not report any errors. 
3) hcitool auth does NOT seem to connect
4) The phone, when asked to "look around" to find Bluetooth devices,
does NOT see my laptop.

What I want is to find a 100% pure scripting solution (preferably no
GUI). I guess I am misunderstanding who should be connecting to whom,
so

* Who is the master (laptop vs phone) and who is the slave

* Who should be initiating connection to whom

* Who should set a PIN and who should supply same PIN for authentication

I feel that once I get past this confusion, I will be able to go
forward, I have been a linux user for 12 years (have only linux at
home). ppp should not be a huge problem, though it's been 6 or so
years since I used it. 

Thanks A LOT for your help!

Your laptop is probably in non-discoverable mode.  Try looking at your 
bluetooth settings.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this didn't matter in bluetooth.

Doesn't matter, either way they can be paired.

Again. doesn't matter, they both will be paired.

To do the internet-modem-phone thing you will want to look at your 
rfcomm config as well.  First you need to bind an rfcomm device to your 
phone on the correct channel.  you can find out which channel by pinging 
your phone with l2ping.  I use kppp to connect so I can't help much on a 
scripting solution.

Good luck.
