Nokia 6600 Internet over bluetooth – How to
March 30th, 2005 at 04:36pm
Finally after lot of R&D, yesterday i could finally browse the net over my 6600 using my PC’s internet connection over bluetooth !
Two things are possible.
1. You use the GPRS of your Mobile phone and browse on your PC.
2. You use the DSL (or other high speed connection) of your PC to browse on your Mobile phone.
#1 is pretty simple, and is very easy to setup on Nokia 6600. But #2 is not that simple. After reading lot of forums, i found that Nokia has on purpose blocked this feature in 6600.
If you have already done a search on this topic, you would have definitely come across this page. But the instructions there are quite cryptic, and not very clear. So, i did lot of search on various forums, and finally got it right. What i have done is, i have basically documented the steps that i followed to make it work. Do give it a try!. It might work for you as well. If it works (or doesn’t) do comment here!
Steps…
First lets set up the PC. Things to do on PC :
- Deactivate all the Checkboxes in mRouter (at least the ones of the Bluetooth COM ports)
- Goto Bluetooth settings and Deactivate everything else in Local services than Bluetooth serial port, note the com port you set as bluetooth serial port
- Goto Phone and Modem options, go to “Modems” add a new one, activate “I will select it from a list”
- Choose “Communications cable between 2 Computers” from the list (in Standard Modem Types)
- Select the COM port from step3
- In the modem settings set maximum port speed to 115200
- Goto Network Connections and create a new connection (wizard)
- Select Set up an advanced connection -> Next
- Accept incoming connections -> Next
- Check the Communications cable between two computers -> Next
- Do not allow VPN connections ->
- select a username you want to give access to your pc over Bluetooth (that’s the username you will set on the phone later) -> Next
- Select Internet Protocol -> Properties, select “TCI/IP address assignment” and set the IP range to something like 10.0.2.2-10.0.2.254
- Remove Internet Connection Sharing from all interfaces
- run cmd.exe and enter the following commands:
netsh routing ip nat install
netsh routing ip nat add interface "YOUR LAN INTERFACE NAME" full
netsh routing ip nat add interface Internal private
YOUR LAN INTERFACE NAME has to be replaced with the name of the interface connected to the internet - if there is a “Bluetooth Network” connection in Network Connections delete it
- In network connections choose the incoming connection just created, and open its properties.
- Click on the users tab, check the last checkbox which says “Always allow directly connected devices to such as palmtop computers to connect without using a password” (this step helped me!)
So, that’s the setup on the PC. Next we need to configure the 6600
- Download gnubox6600.SIS and install it on your phone. Search Google for GnuBox
- Create a new Access Point on the phone (Setting|Connection|Access points|New access point|Use default settings).
- Use the following settings for it:
- Name: Bt (This name is important, the gnubox software will look for it, since its hard-coded in the code)
- Data Bearer: High speed (GSM)
- Dial-up number: e.g. 2222. It doesn’t matter what you have here as long as it’s not empty
- Username: the username you gave access to the incoming connection earlier
- Prompt password: No
- Password: Password for the user on Windows
- Authentication: Normal
- Advanced Settings: Use Login Script Yes
- Advanced Settings: Login Script
CHARMAP [windows-1252]
LOOP 10
{
SEND “CLIENT”+<0x0d>
WAIT 3
{
“SERVER” OK
}
}
EXIT KErrNoAnswer$OK:
EXIT
Be careful that you get it exactly as show here, including line breaks. You could save it to a file, send to the phone and copy-paste to the settings. - Advanced Settings: Use PPP Compression Yes
- Run the program you installed at step1 (gnubox)
- Inside gnubox: Options-> 2box Direct -> Bluetooth, select your computer, leave gnubox running in background
- Run the nokia wml browser select “Bt” as access point and connect.
- You can also use any other internet app like Agile messenger, real player, opera, profimail etc
I was able to connect, and view my website and could read this blog too. I was also able to receive and send out mail using profimail, and the built-in mail client.
I hope this posting helps all the Nokia 6600 owners, specially in India!

Dear Arjun,
You have not replied my problem which is in COMMENT no 95 by Shahnawaz Awan.
Please reply me with details.

@Shahnawaz Awan, I am not very sure what IP you might have to give. … I think your local machine on your lan becomes the server, and your cell phone becomes the client. for your local machine, there is a hub/router which acts as a server.

I can surf the Internet on my phone thanks to all your help!
My setup:
Nokia 6600
Windows XP Pro SP2 (connected to the Internet via an ADSL router)
IVT Bluetooth (Dec-2005, v2.0 release)
PC Suite for Nokia 6600 (06-May-04, version 1.1.0)
AnalogX Proxy (free PC software)
GNUBOX6600
Opera
Reference:
http://tinyurl.com/d6kok (it.tlc.hardware.nokia)
Just follow the instructions in the last message of the above URL. With IVT services just leave the default settings as they are, although I unchecked DHCP for the Personal Area Network because it was interfering with my Intranet.
I probably didn’t need the Proxy software as I may have been able to configure it for the router, but it works.

James,
Hi, how were you able to manage to connect it using IVT? Because I can’t seem to use Windows XP SP2 Bluetooth Software with my IVT Dongle. I’m using the IVT BlueSoleil software.. where do I check which are the COM Ports for incoming etc here?
BTW, I’m using Nokia 6260 and when I connect the phone to the PC using the BlueSoleil software, the “Bluetooth Serial Port Service” could not be clicked.
Can you help me?
Thanks,
Cricket

In Reply to 106.
1) Make sure the Bluetooth icon on on the system tray is blue, otherwise the USB dongle will not be initialised.
2) Using the IVT BlueSoleil software click on the menu “My Bluetooth” -> “Bluetooth Device Discovery”. The phone will now be discovered and will appear as an image within the application.
3) Pair the device by right-clicking on the image and selecting “Pair”. You will then be promted to enter a pass code both on the PC and mobile, just enter any matching digits e.g. 123.
Finding the COM port (testing only)
1) Using the IVT BlueSoleil software click on the menu “My Services” -> “Properties”.
2) Take note of the Serial Port A and Serial PortB bound ports e.g. COM7 and COM8.
3) Right-click the mRouter icon from the system tray and select properties.
4) Select the correct COM port to use for the serial connection by selecting the ports noted in step 2. It connected with COM7 ion my machine.
5) Using the IVT BlueSoleil software right-click the phone image and select “Connect”-> “Bluetooth Serial Port Service”. Note: Be patient with this part as it could take up to about 10 seconds before any serial link is connected.
6) To finish testing disconnect the serial port service and uncheck the connected COM Port from the mRouter properties.
You are then ready to start with step 3 from the http://tinyurl.com/d6kok instructions.

Hi, thanks for you reply. :)
But..
5) Using the IVT BlueSoleil software right-click the phone image and select “Connect”-> “Bluetooth Serial Port Service”. Note: Be patient with this part as it could take up to about 10 seconds before any serial link is connected.
in this step, there is no “Bluetooth Serial Port Service” that’s coming out of “Connect”. I believe it is because my phone, N6260, doesn’t have this service? I’m not really sure what to do now..
Would you know how to enable this service in my phone or something?
Thanks again,
Cricket
