Hi
I have trying to set up my Nokia N70 to access the internet via my I Mac using a blue tooth connection. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks.

yes!!

Activate Blutoth and search for devices...choose your Nokia N70 and choose that you want to connect to the internet!!


then just follow the rest of the guide
 
I think you'll need to install the Nokia 3G scripts from here if you want to use 3G/UMTS (they'll also work for GPRS).
Just unzip, put them in /Library/Modem Scripts/. Once you've paired your phone, you'll be able to select one of the scripts from a drop-down - I use the first one with my PowerBook and N70.

Um reread his post ... dude want to use his home Mac's Internet connection, NOT the cellular 3G connection via a bluetooth connection.

I did. I think it could mean either way, but using the phone as a modem is a much more common use, so I took it to mean that.
 
sorry for any confusion. I want to use the mac internet connection to let my phone go on the web. I was trying to use avantgo, which allows downloads of magazines, newspapers etc in phone format. I thought the whole idea of it was to save charges on your phone and dowload stuff direct to your computer and then transfer over to your phone via bluetouth. but it didnt appear that way. I just wondered if I could use a blue tooth connection to go on to the web via the mac...i guess i am trying to emulate a wifi connection.
