mac osx 10.4.6 and nokia n70

[Gadget Man]

hi,

i've been trying to connect to vodacom 3g (cable or bluetooth) using a nokia n70 on a mac running osx 10.4.6. It connects, then tries to authenticate but in the authentication process it disconnects and says the settings are not correct.

Please could yopu tell me what I've done wrong, or what settings I should be using.

I dial using *99***1#
The username and password fields are left blank.

Will really appreciate a response.

I dont have 3G, but should you not put your username and password in?

No password and username are left blank, there are some modem strings you need to put in, dont use a nokia anymore but will see if i can find.

If you PM me an e-mail addr., I can send you a document with the settings to get the N70 working over bluetooth on a Mac.

OS X's bluetooth and 3G implementation is sometimes a bit wonky... download a modem script for Nokia phones from the following site:

http://www.taniwha.org.uk/

Read up on some tips about installing / configuring the script here:

Works like a charm

I believe that is what JayN did and he's up and running.

MAc os had built in drivers for the nokia's, connecting via bluetooth, Mac will ask you which drivers to use , choose the nokia , and you away. done 2 mac's like this..
