Browsing the net via bluetooth & Linux server

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.bluetooth (More info?)

I have a linux server running slackware and have successfully paired
my Nokia ngage to it using bluez. The linux server is connected to
the
internet via my broadband router.

My question is, how do I configure linux to allow my phone to browse
the
internet using my broadband connection (I'm currently using NetFront
browser).

I have already successfully browsed the net (using my broadband
connection rather than the cellular network) using my ngage by
attaching my bluetooth adapter to my w2k laptop. I would rather use
my Linux server, because it is always up and running.

Thanks, I did check out your link, but I have stumbled across another
solution that works and is quite simple.

I have got it up and running now. I had to install an application
called gnubox.sis on my Nokia N-Gage.

The only problem I had was that every so often the dlink DBT_120 USB
bluetooth adapter would seem to hang up. I needed to unplug and plug
it back in to get it to work again. This seems to be solved by
switching from the uhci module to the usb-uhci one.

Mine's definitely fixed by changing the usb module. I haven't had
one hang up since I switched over on Saturday.
