Access the Internet from your PC by using Bluetooth and Mobile As Modem.

Recently, I have subscribed a Postpaid Online Package from Digi (A telecommunications company in Malaysia). It’s actually a sub-line of my brother’s postpaid line. It costs me RM33 per month with the speed 112kb/sec and the best thing is that the subscribers have the unlimited access to the internet.

The following are my system and hardware specifications:-

1) Mobile: Sony Ericsson W810i (i.e. supports EDGE).

2) PC’s OS: Windows XP

3) Bluetooth USB Dongle (IVT Corporation BlueSoleil): USB UHCI/OHCI spec 2.0 compliant.

The following are the steps for settings and configurations:-

1) Install the software/drivers of the Bluetooth USB Dongle into your PC.

2) After installation complete, there should be an icon in the bottom-right of your quick launch bar.

3) After that, you should turn on your Bluetooth functionality in your mobile and try to add a new device. This step will help mobile to find any available Bluetooth devices. Of course, you should plug the Bluetooth USB Dongle into the USB port on your PC.

4) The previous step should be able to detect your PC as a device and you should select your PC (i.e. the device with your PC’s name).

5) Now, you would be asked to key in a passkey (You can enter any passkey that you like. But the same passkey must be keyed in for PC).

6) After that, your PC will pop up a window that requires your passkey (I.e. the same passkey as the passkey entered in the previous step).

7) Then, in your PC, you should double click on the icon and it will show you the Bluetooth main menu as shown below:-

8) Double click on the mobile icon in the diagram (e.g. “W810i” mobile icon shown in the diagram). Then, you would see something like the following diagram:-

9) After that, you should following steps shown below:-

10) Then, your mobile will show a message asking your decision whether to allow your PC to use your mobile as a modem for online. E.g. XXX (i.e.your PC’s name) request access to use your mobile as modem. Allow? You should choose “Yes”.

11) Next, you should see the Dial up window prompts up from your PC. As shown below:-

Dial Up

12) You just need enter the button “Dial”. That means no User name and Password are required to key in.

13) That’s all for the steps, you are now should be able to access and enjoy the internet from your PC and your PC’s Bluetooth menu should now be as the following:-
