3 | Dial-up Networking
This chapter covers how to connect a mobile
computer running Socket’s Connection Kit with
Bluetooth Wireless Technology to a Bluetooth
enabled phone for dial-up networking.
Before you begin the instructions in this chapter,
be sure to complete the general installation
procedures, as explained in Chapter 2.
If you want to dial up to a network using a Bluetooth enabled modem,
instead of the Get Connected! Wizard, complete the Device Discovery
Wizard and Bonding Wizard from the Bluetooth Devices folder, as
described in Chapter 10. Afterwards, dial up to your network as described
in this chapter.
Note: Since you have a Bluetooth enabled phone, you may want to install
the Socket Dialer onto your mobile computer. With the Socket Dialer, you
simply need to tap on a number in your Contacts list, and your Bluetooth
enabled phone will begin dialing the number. Refer to Chapter 6 for more
information.
