How To Enable Network Access For Bluetooth On Mac

Bluetooth access certainly isn’t limited to Palm OS 5 devices. I’ve used the Palm Bluetooth card in an old m505 to surf the Web and get my email. This card works with almost any Palm OS device with an SD slot. On the EV3, select Start Scan on the Bluetooth menu. It should find your computer. Select your computer from the menu and then select the Pair button. Confirm the passkey on both devices when requested. On your Mac, in System Preferences, go back and select Network.

Bluetooth tethering is one of the many ways to share the wireless connection of an Android device with another device. In my case, the Android device was a Moto G which was connected to the home wireless network. The other device was a MacBook Air on which I needed internet access.

The steps I followed to get internet access on the MacBook Air from the Moto G were simple: • Connect to the wireless network on your Android device. Ensure that you can access the internet using this connection. • Turn on Bluetooth on the Android device.

• Enable the Android device to be discoverable on Bluetooth. By default, this is not enabled. • Open Settings > Wireless and networks > More > Tethering and portable hotspot. Enable the Bluetooth tethering option.

• On the other device, turn on Bluetooth and pair with the Android device. • On the other device choose the class of the Bluetooth pairing as LAN or Network Access Point. For example, on the MacBook Air I chose the Bluetooth logo > XT1032 > Connect to Network. Bluetooth tethering is useful for devices like MacBook Air, which do not support other tethering methods like USB tethering. Tried with: Android 4.4.2, Moto G, OS X 10.9.2 and MacBook Air 11-inch Mid 2013.

A Personal Area Network, or PAN, is simply an ad hoc wireless network of Bluetooth-enabled devices. It is ad hoc because such devices do not connect through a router or central hub of any sort. Rather, they connect directly to each other. You might set up a PAN between iPhones for gaming purposes when there is no Wi-Fi.

You can also pair an iPhone with a Bluetooth-enabled computer and share a network connection between the two. This is referred to as tethering, and typically you might share the 3G data connection of the iPhone with the computer, providing it Internet access.

You will need to enter a passkey on the computer and then verify it on your iPhone. This is done under Bluetooth Preferences on a Mac and the Bluetooth icon in the System Tray in Windows or the Bluetooth Control Panel. Look below under the 'Devices' header for the name of a system in your Bluetooth PAN and check that the status reflects your iPhone is connected.
