Network access over bluetooth: anyone succeeded?

[Donatas G.]

Hi, has anyone succeeded in setting up a network over bluetooth connection 
following the http://bluez.sourceforge.net/contrib/HOWTO-PAN  document?

I have followed the guide in up to the point where it says „it should be 
possible that the nodes ping each other“ - and in this I fail. 

I receive messages like 

dg at pieva:~$ ping  10.0.0.2
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.0.0.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.0.0.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.0.0.1 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable

on both the NAP and the PANU side. Ifconfig produces this on the NAP side: 

dg at pieva:~$ ifconfig
bnep0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:72:CE:6A:0A
          inet addr:10.0.0.1  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::202:72ff:fece:6a0a/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:109 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:1314 (1.2 KiB)  TX bytes:9019 (8.8 KiB)

And this on  the PANU side:

dg at bala:~$ ifconfig
bnep0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 11:11:11:11:11:11
          inet addr:10.0.0.2  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::1311:11ff:fe11:1111/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:104 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:9043 (8.8 KiB)  TX bytes:1294 (1.2 KiB)

The devices do have connection established:

NAP side: 
dg at pieva:~$ pand --show
bnep0 11:11:11:11:11:11 NAP

PANU side:
dg at pieva:~$ pand --show
bnep0 00:02:72:CE:6A:0A PANU

command on the PANU side
	sdptool browse 00:02:72:CE:6A:0A 
shows a network access point service on the NAP computer. 

And I have uninstalled the firewall to prevent it from interfering. 

What is it that is wrong?

$ tail /var/log/messages
gives no interesting imput....

relevant configuration on the NAP side: 

/etc/default/bluez-utils  (it is still dapper)

PAND_ENABLED=1
PAND_OPTIONS="--listen --role NAP"

/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

	lm accept, master;


Relevant config on the PANU side: 

/etc/default/bluetooth (that is edgy) 

PAND_ENABLED=1

PAND_OPTIONS="--role PANU --connect 00:02:72:CE:6A:0A"
