Using dial-up networking
If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can use your
smartphone as a wireless modem to access the Internet from your computer. Dial-up
networking (DUN) is the feature that converts your smartphone into a wireless
modem. To configure DUN, complete the following procedures:
“Creating a trusted pair between your smartphone and your computer” on page 61
“Setting up your computer for a DUN connection” on page 62
“Enabling DUN on your smartphone” on page 63
“Accessing the Internet from your computer” on page 63
Creating a trusted pair between your smartphone and your
computer
After creating the trusted pair, you can use your smartphone as a modem any time it
is within range of your computer, bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
You need to do this only once.
1. Make sure that your computer’s Bluetooth setting is on and that your computer is
discoverable. Check the documentation that came with your computer to find and
change these settings.
2. On your smartphone, go to Applications and select Bluetooth .
3. Select On if it is not selected, and then select Setup Devices.
If your computer is not
enabled with Bluetooth
wireless technology, you
may be able to purchase a
wireless Bluetooth adapter
accessory for your
computer.
To use DUN, you must have
a data services plan and
access point name (APN)
information. Check with
your wireless service
provider to obtain your data
services username,
password, and APN
information.
