I tried with bluesoleil and Widcomm drivers. it at least connected with bluesoleil but i couldnt have internet access.With bluesoleil, the phone was forcing me to create a data account (i think to make it work as modem). And it didnt connected at all, i dont know y.
When using widcomm, the bluetooth network wont connect. when i tried to, it appeared error messages like couldnt make connection because of security and the other was that it couldnt connect because both devices were set as NAP (or APN, i dont remember).

First i would like to know what phone you have. (I have W580i)

This is what i did after talking with SE Support:

1. Unistall Widcomm
2. Reinstall Widcomm
2. A: Set widcomm Advanced Config/Local Services/Network Access to acces the internet. Click ok. and close the boxes.
    B: Got to your regular connections properties. Set it to sharing using the bluetooth network.
3. Use update service and flash to the newest firmware, even if you already have it.
4. On your phone add a new device.
5. Enter the required passkeys in computer and then phone.
6. (On your phone)Click connect, watch your computer very carefully.
7. If your computer asks for the passkey click cancel. THen when it asks for network access, tick the checkbox and click ok really quickly. The phone should then display connected. Then create a new internet account using your Bluetooth device as the connection. Set it to default and enjoy.

I have on k550i
What do you mean with "flash newest firmware"? the phone's firmware?
You do all this before pairing the phone with pc?

EDIT

Hey!! I reinstalled bluesoleil and it worked! Thanks!!!!

I think it shouldnt be working but it is!!

I dont know how the menus from k850 are.
Go bluetooth menu on the cellphone, search for a new device and pair with the computer. Bridge the bluetooth connection with lan connection on "network connections" on pc. On bluesoleil (mine version is 2.6) there is an option for PAN networks where you can create a new private network or select to use another network. There i selected my LAN network and clicked ok. Then on cell phone, associate the PC data account to an internet profile and save it. Then go to My devices menu on cellphone, select your pc and press connect. On pc it should appear that it is trying to connect to a PAN network, select the option to always accept connections and press ok.
you should be connected now. I dont know if all the steps to connect really matters. I dont know if you really need to bridge connections. But anyway, try that.

I would use internet connection sharing (with widcomm) because bridging networks always destroys my connections.

I dont like it either... There is this option in Bluesoleil v2.6, but it newer versions, like 5, i couldnt find it.

I would like to try it with microsoft bluetooth drivers, the ones that comes in laptops. Does anyone knows where to get it?!

I don't belive this phone supports bluetooth PAN. It may say it does, like my w300 but it doesn't work.

There is a windows router thing which is pretty easy (for me) to configure. You should get a little familiar with some internet tech lingo before touching it.

I use it instead of windows network bridging for allowing my mac (as there aren't wireless drivers for my card for the mac) to connect to the net. Set your internet (say, local area connection) to Internet and your bluetooth connection to Private. Should work, logically.

Hi there, I have the SE k550i cell and IV Corporation BlueSoleil v2.6.01 (Stack version 0.6) installed on my laptop. I've been reading through this thread (several times over) but still can't get my k550i to use the broadband wireless on my laptop.

First off, when I bridge the "Bluetooth PAN Network Adapter" with my "Wireless Network Connection" my net stops working, so that option didn't get me too far. When I try to connect to the PAN of the cell using BlueSoleil, it always fails. I think I am pretty close to getting it to work, but I guess I am missing a small configuration.

Can anyone who has go this to work give a walkthrough on it please? Thanks!
