Author Windows -> Linux via Bluetooth
Jon

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a TCP/IP link between Linux and Windows XP. I have
looked at various web sites and whilst it seems rather straightforward
from Linux to Linux via Bluetooth (i.e. pand running both ways) it's not
so clear how to do it between Linux and Windows (surprisingly). Although I
can set up a NAP on the Linux box and although I can connect to the Linux
box I can't seem to set up a TCP/IP connection from Windows XP. I have
searched various resources for it but haven't been able to see anything.
Does anyone know how this is done?

Thanks.

Jon.

Try dund instead, i.e. create a /etc/ppp/peers/dun, then start

dund --listen --msdun --persist call dun

On the Windows side use the dial up networking icon to establish a PPP
connection.

See e.g. [url]http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HOWTO- BluetoothNetworking[
/url] for an
example /etc/ppp/peers/dun, and/or look at the other files in
/etc/ppp/peers or "man pppd".
