Step 3: Set Up the Internet Connection
In Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant forges ahead to prompt you for the information that the phone needs to set up the Internet connection.
- In the Bluetooth Mobile Phone Set Up screen (see Figure 7), provide the
information you got from your Internet provider to connect to the Internet for
broadband access. You also might want to turn on the "Show Modem status in
the menu bar" check box, so that you can see the connection status when
you’re online (or if you’ve been dropped unexpectedly). Then click
Continue.
Figure 7 Use this window to enter the information your provider gave you to access the Internet.
Palm (maker of the Treo), Treo, and Verizon are not included in the drop-down lists. It’s as if Apple doesn’t know that they exist. (Humph.) But when I chose Other, Verizon Support (PC 5220) automatically appeared in the Phone Model pop-up menu—and I didn’t install any Palm, Treo, or Verizon software.
- A conclusion window appears, summarizing what has been done (see Figure
8). Click Quit.
