Title: GPRS through Bluetooth in Linux undre Moblin Linux
Post by: sandeepvignesh on August 21, 2009, 08:44:49 AM

Hi,
I am trying to set up a GPRS connection with Bluetooth. I tried connecting to gprs with fedora 9 system and it got connected,whereas the same dint work for me in Moblin(which is a flavour of Linux) and running /var/log/messages shows

pppd:connection script failed

What could be the reason for this. Any help would be appreciated

I some how got it working.But, in the var log messages, it is showing the  DNS ip addresses(local and remote). But when I ping for www.google.com, it shows that the host is down. Should some changes be done in the network settings or in the mobile? :(
