This is the bluetooth chip of an iPaq 3970. It's running Familiar stable, so it must be a pretty old bluez version. Don't know if it helps... Ok, I knew I had to give more details... I create links between 3 iPaqs. I tried using higher layer protocols to do so. Never worked. I'm just trying to do a TCP/IP network so I can run XML-RPC on top of it, ssh etc... That's all I need. I tried to use pan, never worked, I tried to use dun over pan, never worked, I tried to use rfcomm never worked. Always the same problem: I could connect A to B and B to C, never B to A and C to A.=20 Now I went the hcitool route. Created my own connections very very easily. I connected B to A and C to A (A master). Ran dund _after_ hcitool connections and everything is running great. hcitool con on A gives me two master connections. These connections have been initialised from B and C as slave. So I can have two master connections, but I can't create them from A. First one works, second one doesn't, nothing happen. It's just out of curiosity. -- Pierre On Fri, 2004-04-02 at 20:10, Marcel Holtmann wrote: > Hi Pierre, >=20 > > I've been trying to setup ip net with 3 identical devices connected > > simultanously over bluetooth.
