Worked first time with my Powerbook G4. Remarkable. Thanks a lot!!

N95 is pretty remarkable. Anyone know how to make it cook the dinner?

Hi Pete, I had the same problem in 10.5 but fixed it by going to Sys Prefs / Network / Bluetooth / Advanced / Modem tab and selecting Vendor ‘Other’ option which allowed me to specify the exact modem script i wanted.

thx a ton… i finally did it with my N95 and macbook..
but can i connect it via USB cable? thx b4…

Anyone had any success in 10.5? The set up screens aren’t the same, so you can’t specify a script. I have a Samsung D900, and can’t find a specific script anyway, although have Ross’ generic script.

Can’t get past authentication stage – tends to say “can’t negotiate a connect with PPP server”.

cheers

Pete

generally, I don’t get any further

Thanks for the page, I just set my N95 and my new MacBook Pro up on T-Mobile USA! Worked great. I didn’t see about Leopard until the end, but still things worked. The only difference I saw was that there was there was no “direct, higher speed” option.

The N95 is HSDPC compliant so you can use the 3.5G scripts on the site as well. That means upto 3.6MBPS baby!

Works great thanks, but even better on Leopard.

You don’t need the scripts, just the apn, dns and user/pass details from the linked site. Nokia modems are supported properly in 10.5

Works great, but for some reason I always have to re-pair the N95 with my MacBook Pro. This happens althoug it has been set as autorised. It seems to forget the pairing …

Anybody any idea?

To use the bluetooth option modem you can use the AU cdma bluetooth adapter script from the modem list.Works fine on my N95.

Lachlan,

Thank you so much for your information, if only vodafone tech’s were as knowledgable on the subject as yourself. I spent half an hour on the phone to them to be given the totally wrong information, I was advised to use my mac os username and admin password to login. haha

Anyways, working perfectly on vfau

a lot of nokia handsets work as bluetooth modems, as well as some motorola models.

however i am on the US T-mobile, and I am still having trouble with the N95 connecting. i have read and tried all of the above. any one know of any US specific settings i need? i have used a nokia 6280 previously to do this and it worked.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the guide, and the link to Ross’ superb mobile script page.

Got everything working with my N95, both over USB and Bluetooth. The only thing I can complain about is the speed. My network supports Super3G (3,6Mbit) and I have that coverage where I live, still the speed tops at 0,9Mbit… I guess it might have something to do with the a bit old modem script, but I am not sure. What kind of speeds have you others achieved? I wrote to Ross about this and hope to get an answer soon.

Best regards
