Hi all,

a small detail - I got the error 'no such device' for the mountpoint. Finally discovered that I missed support for 'NFS file systems' in the kernel. Could help if anyone gets the same error.

Regards,

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!!!

As KiyuKo find out, p3nfs client version 5.15 and above uses rfcomm port 11. Port 4 is not used anymore to make connections.
I already edited the first post and made necessary changes.

I am using nokia 6820 and 7210 phones with linux. Main purpose being- GPRS to connect to the internet.

6820 is connected via bluetooth and 7210 via usb irda.

Process is fairly simple in Kanotix and knoppix. Just run 'Modemlink' it detects the phone and creates a link as /dev/modem. I then use kppp to dial out.

Havent tried EasyGPRS and OpenOBEX yet, but easygprs is for creating gprs connection and openobex can be used to transfer files.

Good luck all

it worked for me too, w00t

Glad to know my thread is working!! ^__^

I tried this with Nokia 6260 which is Series 60 also but with no success. hcitool scan finds the phone and I've double checked the address in rfcomm.conf and I use port 11. I can even send files to my phone with KDE bluetooth but that's all I can do :/

Sometimes when starting nfsapp in my phone it just closes tha application immediately. But after I try mounting phone with p3nfsd and then starting nfsapp it doesn't crash anymore. Then I usually start the nfsapp in the phone again (it doesn't crash anymore) and try mounting the phone but nothing happens, phone doesn't even ask if I allow access to it anymore.

btw. after this hcitool doesn't find my phone anymore unless I restart bluetooth connection, and when restarting it says "are you sure you want to do this, connection is still in use". After restarting connection nfsapp starts crashing again.

Mobile won't tell you anything about allowing conenction or not. It does not work like a "regular" BT connection.
Make sure you have NFS enabled in your kernel and the daemon is running. You should FIRST run the client on the mobile and then connect to it with p3nfs command.
Also check out you binded correctly rfcomm0.

But anyway, if you can send/recevi objects with KDE Bluetooth, you won't get anything more using the system I posted. I wrote that post cause I use no KDE nor Gnome, and in that time BT with mobile was not common at all. The only extra thing you're gonna get is the possibility to sneak into your mobile filesystem and look around it.
Another possible reason for the crashes is that the mobile you have is quite new, and Sereies 60 was not designed for such a "smart" phone...It works perfectly on my old 3650, but no comparison with 6260. If you only want to transfer pictures/tunes, I suggest you to use KDE BT, as it's working for you and "my" system doesn't, and there's no clear sign of what is going wrong.

so is the conclusion it is not possible to use a 60 series nokia with bluetooth to browse the web?

This how-to was meant to teach how to transfer files between PC and Series 60 mobile phones. Anything that goes beyond this point, I can't tell.
Even more, this howto is nowadays quite deprecated, as KDE and Gnome have better ways transfer files, nice GUIs and really really easy. I wrote this how-to because in that time, neither KDE nor Gnome had those BT GUIs and was the only way I found to transfer files.

I'm sorry to tell I can't help you in this matter (connect to internet via bluetooth), but I'm pretty sure some googling will help you.

The problem with Nokia 6260 is the following: the port 11 is used for SyncMLClient.
That is the reason why nfsapp "crash" at startup. The resolution in very simple:
Modify in C:\system\Apps\nfsapp\nfsclient.ini the Bluetooth parameter.
eg.
Bluetooth=13
(or modify it on your PC and transfer it to the phone. On my system I found it in
/usr/share/p3nfs/epoc32/nfsapp)

So p3nfsd and nfsapp works fine on Nokia 6260 too.

This topic is for bluetooth, not GPRS and nowadays is quite outdated. I wrote this HOWTO when neither KDE nor Gnome had an easy way to transfer files between PC and mobile.

I dont know if it was there when you wrote the how-to, but there is kde-bluetooth now. It is excellent and allows you to transfer files b/w pc and phone. If you install kbemusedserver, you can also control your pc using your s60 phone(control music players like amaroK etc.)
