N97 bluetooth modem access in Snow Leopard

Options

Hi all,

 

Another new problem I'm experiencing since upgrading to Snow Leopard: I can't seem to connect over bluetooth to the N97 modem to access the Internet. Snow Leopard keeps complaining that /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem is not working. "Dial-up Networking" is not listed in the bluetooth services for the device. Same with other new Nokia phones that I pair with it. Existing phones may have the DUN listed but they dun work either.

 

Any ideas?

I'm pleased to report that I've sorted out this problem. It's something so simple I usually would have thought of trying myself, but it took a friend to point out "reboot the phone". Yeah, just to be sure I had a clean start, I deleted the bluetooth pairing from BOTH the phone and Mac, and then rebooted both the phone and the Mac, re-setup, and this time everything worked beautifully between my N97 and Mac running Snow Leopard.

 

The funny thing was that I tried with a Nokia 5800 phone as well without success. It turns out the problem with the Nokia 5800 was slightly different. The SIM card in the phone was for a different telco, and the APN settings were different, and my Mac setup was wrong.
