How to connect your Ngage to the Net via Bluetooth

Ive posted this in aus.comms.mobile but thought some people might like this
info....

ive been asked for details about how I got the ngage to access the net via
bluetooth and a computer, thus avoiding GPRS and wap altogether...

well heres a cut down version of the details....

1st Part
--------

Creating an access point on the Ngage

tools....settings...connection....access points....options...new access
point>default settings...

Enter the following...

Connection Name : Anything (But remeber this name cuz ull enter it in
various programs that require the net) THIS IS YOUR ACCESS POINT NAME

Data Bearer: GPRS

Access Point Name: The name you gave your bluetooth conected computer...but
to be honest ive put anything in here and it still works.....

Username : None

Password : No

Authentication : Normal

Gateway IP Address : 0.0.0.0

leave the advance settings alone....

and this should create your access point name....


---------------
2nd Part

This applies to the Belkin Bluetooth Software but could be similar for other
bluetooth USB devices....

the magic sequence is to make sure the belkin software connects to
the serial port with the ngage....

right click the bluetooth icon in the systray....

quick connect....bluetooth serial port....other devices.....

now if youve paired them correctly the name of your ngage will come up...
select it

and let it connect

it might come up with an error....ignore it and press ok.... mine says it
connects to COM0 ...

if you have PC Suite installed look at the mrouter icon.... 2 grey triangles
change colour when it connects....or changes to another graphic of a
computer or phone....success!

so far so good...

3rd and last ****en part.....

The browser that comes with the ngage is a crap piece of **** and wont work
through the above setting...neither will RealOne Player when trying to
stream....but im working on these 2 now as we speak....

Grab Netfront Browser....and install it on your Ngage.....
its here > http://www.access-sys-eu.com/NetFron...ies.410.0.html

When you enter the web the first time...it asks which access point to
use....use the one you created above...under connection name...it should be
in the list....

I'll see ya on the net

cheers


if anyone has success or probs, let me know through here...
