Hello, and welcome to newcomers who might have found this site from this discussion thread, the Nokia 3650 forum, or from seeing my hint at Mac OS X Hints. I’ve received a few emails from people saying that the scripts aren’t working for them, so here’s some more info that I haven’t managed to get into the READ ME file yet:
First, start clean. Reboot both your phone and your Mac. Make sure you have the DNS fields in your network preferences on the Mac working. Make sure you have the USB Bluetooth Modem Adapter activated in your network ports, and make sure that the modem script is set to Nokia Infrared, as odd as that sounds. Then run the connect script, and after running it type “sudo named” in the terminal a couple of times. For some reason, the sudo named commands in the script itself aren’t enough. Then test to see if it works. If not, then run the Kill script and run the connect script again, followed by “sudo named”. Keep on repeating about three times and see if it works. For some reason, the first couple of times I did this, I had to startup kill start up kill start up kill. I don’t know why that is, but now it is working without a hitch. There is now an alias in the root directory of my computer’s HD that is called “mrouter-control-pipe” that suddenly appeared and that I suspect has something to do with why I no longer have to “jump-start” the connection.
I also am going to look into something Jimbo posted on the first thread above about adding a very verbose parameter and increasing the timeout time in the scripts to see if that makes it work better (although, I don’t know how to really test it, since the current scripts are working consistently well for me with the exception of having to enter “sudo named” in the terminal after the connection script.) Any ideas? Email me at cks3 at mac dot com.
