Bluetooth phone tethering problem

[GizmoTheGreen]

Im going traveling tomorrow, and i need some help getting internet from my phone working.

the phone is a sony ericsson C901
i've connected via bluetooth, checked the internet thing in the bluetooth dialogbox, and i try clicking the PAN item in networkmanager, it seems to connect to my phone for a split second but then aborts...

any clues?

well, my phone is using PAN (doenst show up as a dial up modem)
so that guide doesnt really apply.

however, via usb it does look like a modem, so i tried it (using correct device name)

I get the following error:

pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to do so.

Hello,

I got exactly as far as you did, but apparently this is a known bug, on the todo list for a future hotfix, Evildragon explained in a topic of mine. Let me find it.

Edit: here is the topic: Bluetooth internet stuff

So i'm afraid no bluetooth yet, srry.
