I followed all this and did get it to work once but since then it simply refuses to.

Is there a list of files to clear out and start again with as I suspect a corrupted file thta is not being replaced is the problem.

Comment on Lucid and iPhone tethering by Geoff

Thanks Rob

But why do they make it so hard to get to work?

I could not find a PAN plugin that did not knock out the network manaager integration so I have used the dhclient bnep0 command and that seems to work. At least it shows if the bluetooth conneciotn is working as it should.

Thanks for the post.

I have now discovered that the included version of Blueman has the plugin to throw everything to NetworkManager, it just isn’t enable.

If you right-click on the blueman icon, you can edit the enabled plugins. Enable to PAN plugin, an no need for the dhclient step. Though I find the dhclient method more reliable.

Thank you for this tutorial.
You have a typo on 1. Line:
aptitude install pptp ->
aptitude install pptpd

If you run named (bind) this will not work.
Stop bind (if you dont need it)
/etc/init.d/bind9 stop

If you see that message:
dnsmasq: setting capabilities failed: Operation not permitted
Solution:
nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
An ucomment user and set user to root.
user=root

And run:
sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart

Costs me some hours to figure it out, so i want to share it here.

And if you like iDisk (file sharing/hosting online), just use Dropbox (www.dropbox.com). 2GB of storage (just like iDisk) for free. More space available at a cost. Voila!
