I have just got a new Nokia N95 on T-Mobile’s excellent Web N Walk package, which allows you to use your mobile as a modem to provide Internet Access on your laptop.
In order to do this you must first pair you phone with your laptop.
- Enable bluetooth on the N95 in Menu > Tools > Bluetooth
- Enable bluetooth in OS X: System Preferences > Bluetooth > Settings
- Tick “Show bluetooth on the status bar”.
- From the bluetooth status menu, select browse device
- Click “search” to search for your N95.
- Follow the on screen instructions to pair your laptop and phone (you will need to give a passcode which can be anything you like, e.g. 1234)
- You may wish to set the laptop as an authorised device in your N95. If so, go to Menu > Tools > Bluetooth > Paired Devices then click “set as authorised”. This will save having to select “allow” everytime you wish to connect your laptop to your phone.
Then you need to setup a dial-up networking connection
- Open System Preferences > Bluetooth > Devices
- Select your N95 and click configure
- Go through the wizard and tick “Access the Internet through your phone’s data connection” followed by “Use a direct, higher speed connection to reach your Internet Service Provider (e.g. GPRS). Then click continue.
- Give the following settings. Username: user – Password: one2one – GPRS CID string: *99# – Modem Script: Nokia Infrared
