Right, now I have my dialup working beautifully, the next stage is getting my Palm connecting to the laptop so that hopefully I can sync with evolution.

I've been following the instructions from

http://www.harbaum.org/till/palm/bluetooth/index.html

(from Marcel's bluetooth HOWTO list)

I can see the clie fine:

stefvaio:/etc/ppp# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
        08:00:46:EF:4B:F4       stefclie
        00:12:62:DC:EA:63       Stefphone

I have successfully added the pc as a trusted device, sdpd is running, and I've added the LAN service, as per the HOWTO

The clie networking all appears to be set up OK, but when I try and connect,

it says 'initializing', then 'signing on', but then hangs there. at this point, hcidump -X -V shows a continuous stream of ongoing traffic, but the signing on never finishes.

/var/log/messages says

May 10 17:08:18 localhost pppd[16725]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0
May 10 17:08:18 localhost pppd[16725]: Using interface ppp0
May 10 17:08:18 localhost pppd[16725]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/rfcomm1

and then when I cancel the connection on the Clie

May 10 17:09:23 localhost pppd[16725]: LCP terminated by peer
May 10 17:09:23 localhost pppd[16725]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
May 10 17:09:23 localhost pppd[16725]: Modem hangup
May 10 17:09:23 localhost pppd[16725]: Connection terminated.
May 10 17:09:24 localhost pppd[16725]: Exit.

I can't see an rfcommd running anywhere though, only a krfcommd, are they the same thing?

ps aux |grep rfcommd
root 8627 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< May09 0:00 [krfcommd]

Any other information I need to provide?

actually looking in more detail,

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.user/5568/match=rfcommd

says that rfcommd is not used any more, but not what is, so I'm stuck.

I'm still getting absolutely nowhere with this. It just gets to 'signing on' on the palm, and then hangs.

weird thing is there's tons of traffic flowing, according to hcidump -X -V

I've attached some output in case it's useful.

many thanks for any clues

Try to use dund, but your problem is not the Bluetooth part. It is to find the correct pppd settings. I never had a Palm with Bluetooth support and so I can't help you here.

Please don't compress such files, because otherwise I can't view it inside my email reader.

Regards

Marcel
