Linux and Nokia N70, part2

by andy on July 2nd, 2006

Finally gnubox works under ubuntu, these were the needed steps:

  1. install the testing version of gnubox on your phone
  2. create a new AP profile named ‘Bt’, where authenication/security is set to normal
  3. start gnubox on your phone, use install->create records, then 2box Bluetooth -> LAN Access Server
  4. under ubuntu change the following lines to /etc/default/bluez-utils:
    DUND_ENABLED = 1
    DUND_OPTIONS=”–listen –persist –encrypt call dun”
  5. create a ppp profile /etc/ppp/peers/dun with the following content:
    460800
    debug
    ipcp-accept-remote
    192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2
    ms-dns
    lock
    crtscts
    noauth
    defaultroute
  6. in your /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf enable
    auth enable;
    encrypt enable;
  7. Bring up the interface on your phone via GnuBox->Debug->Bring up IF
  8. you now should have a ppp device which should connect you directly to your phone, pinging should work. If you want to use this connection to surf the web just add the needed NAT rules.

Through this connection I hopefully can use the phone’s syncml client to finally synchronize itself with multisync. Currently I do not understand the phone’s syncml settings, maybe someone could point me into the right direction.
