Hi Mate. I was fine until after I established the bluetooth connections between my HTC tytn ii Window Mobile 6.0 and MacBook Pro Snow Leopard and went on to the bluetooth icon in Mac-to 'join the network connection' on my HTC device. The trouble is I don't get this option to 'join the network connection' or anything of that sort. Please help.

Anyone have an idea on how to do this with an HTC Imagio on VZW running WinMo 6.5 and a MacBook with 10.6.1 When I pair my device I do not get the personal area network option.

Thanks for this. Works great on the new Macbook Pro and an HTC TyTn.

Hey, Thanks soo much for this video. I have an att tilt phone, and i couldn't figure out how to connect it to my powerbook. I did everything like you said, now my only problem is that it says "bluetooth network failed" when i do the final step to actually access the internet. it also says "failed to open a connection to the network service. your device may have reached its maximum number of supported network connections." The only other thing i use my bluetooth for is in my car. Do you know what could be causing this, or what I should do?

Thank you sooo much!
Jessica

Hi Kevin, A great video, informative and personable! I tried to extrapolate from your vid. I have an HTC Tytn (Hermes jasJam etc.) with the Rogers providers here in Canada. It is windows mobile 5.0 based and my Mac OS is 10.411 (Tiger). I have tried adding the specific script to my modem scripts for the "HTC Tytn", and have confirmed settings of the provider and dial out number with my service provider, still can't get it to work. Any ideas/suggestions? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dude your video was amazing, i just got my first mac and tethering was a huge concern. I have a tilt and it was slightly different getting it set up but it was more or less exactly what you said. Next you should show us how to do it through USB so we can have full 3G speed because bluetooth seems to slow it down a little. You're a genious and thanks a lot.

I have a pantech duo and I know it comes with a watered down version of windows mobile, including what looks to be like no internet sharing app. Is there a way to do all of this with the smaller WM6?
