Run internet on your computer through bluetooth on your phone?

Question

I have a Palm Centro that I got in January and a MacBook Pro 10.4. I have been trying to figure out how to pull the internet off my phone and run it on my computer. I have been trying to figure it out but every time I seem to figure it out I don't. Anyone done it or know how to?

Answer 1

You don't. You have to buy Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T's mobile broadband card. If you there are any hacks to pull it off, they're illegal.

Answer 2

It is done all of the time

With the AT&T Centro it uses a bluetooth dun (dialup networking ) connection

For Att the setup is here on page 161

The settings are different depending on which carrier.

You will have to make sure that the mac bluetooth has the profile for it

If you have a different carrier they will either use the dun or lan setup
