How to setup bluetooth DUN dial-up

[anvesh]

I don't have BSNL or Reliance connection. I have activated mobile-office in airtel (bluetooth dial-up connection) and by this I m able to surf net on windows. I've tried to setup this in mandriva2006 but i couldn't. I was only able to send file from pc 2 mobile. So how can i setup internet on linux? I have ...
1.Ubuntu
2.Mandriva
3.Suse 10.1
I've tried only mandriva. Should i try suse or any other distro?

@sariq I tried it but not working. It shows "No device found" msg. Is there any thing by which i can install bluetooth dongle?

 

[sariq]

delete all previously paired devices in mobile, and search for new device from mobile. it should search your computer.

Phone has detected pc bluetooth but couldn't able to paired with it. Can u tell me how to install new hardware on ubuntu?

 

[sariq]

why ?
i have never found any problem in pairing with differentbluetooth donges/ mobiles. you may check your PIN from /etc/bluetooth/pin.txt . by default it is 1234

There's no need to install it. Kernel itself detects and loads the drivers.
I guess bluezutils must not have been started. Try issuing these commands in the terminal and see what happens

sudo /etc/init.d/bluez-utils start

hcitool scan

Now i m able to pair mobile with pc (with pin=1234). In ubuntu I right clicked on a file and selected "send to.. " option,and my phone's bluetooth was detected. But whenever i give command "hcitool scan" it gives "No such device found" msg.
I just want to enable multimedia in ubuntu, but cant connect 2 net. My net is working well with windows, is there any way by which i can download file from windows and install it on ubuntu? if yes then from which site and which files should i d'load?
