I'm using among others : knoppix 3.7 CD boot (bootoption knoppix26) debian PC (2.6.11-rc4-bk10 kernel, unstable dist) debian laptop (2.6.11-rc4 kernel, unstable dist) All the modules like - hci_usb - rfcomm - bluetooth - l2cap are loaded either by the kernel (/etc/modules) or by hand using modprobe. These command's are used to try to setup a connection : hciconfig hci0 up sdptool add sp rfcomm bind 0 1 rfcomm connect 0 While on the "receiving" debian laptop these command's were issued : hciconfig hci0 up sdptool add sp rfcomm listen /dev/rfcomm0 1 To check connection I use cat/echo (or minicom) -> echo "hello world" > /dev/rfcomm0 This way I can connect to a pc with some proprietary OS, but I cannot build a connection between 2 linux pc's. Yesterday I was able to start a connection between a debian PC and debian laptop but immedeatily after pressing the return button on the debian PC the laptop responded with (rfcomm listen /dev/rfcomm0) : Press control-c to disconnect Disconnected It's probably one bit I have to toggle ;-) Some settings in hcid.conf : pairing multi; lm accept; lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park; My rfcomm.conf on the debian PC is modified like this : rfcomm0 { bind yes; device ; channel 1; } The service was restarted each time the config was altered with /etc/init.d/bluez-utils stop and then ..... start In all the howto's/archives there is a lot of info how to connect to a phone or some device, but there's no info how to connect 2 pc's. Can anyone help ?
