3.5.6Dial-up Networking
Overview
The Bluetooth Dial-up Networking application allows this computer to use a modem that is physically connected to a remote device to access the Internet or log on to a remote network.
Open a connection to the Dial-up Networking service that is provided by another Bluetooth device using one of these techniques:
•Windows system tray, Bluetooth icon
•From My Bluetooth Places
•Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard
After the Bluetooth dial-up networking connection is established, it can be used the same way as any other networking connection. For example, you can open a browser and explore the World Wide Web, if the remote computer has Internet access.
Close a Dial-up Networking connection
•If the connection was established via the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray: right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Quick Connect, Dial-up Networking and then select the device that is providing the service (active connections have a checkmark in front of them).
or
•No matter how the connection was created: In My Bluetooth Places, right-click the service name and select Disconnect.
Configure
The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > Dial-up Networking > General tab provides options to configure:
•The application name—To change it, highlight the existing name and enter the new name.
•Enable or disable secure connection—To enable secure connection, place a checkmark in the box.
•The Bluetooth virtual device to be used.
NOTE: Unless you have a specific reason to do so, DO NOT CHANGE the default Bluetooth device or alter the device’s configuration.
