Create a persistent BlueTooth to Address Book connection
Authored by: frumioj on Jul 02, '03 06:54:13PM

I would just note that althought the suggested solution may work for some, I had a couple of problems:

1) I had to stop mDNSResponder (which binds to port 53, and stops named from doing so)
sudo /Library/StartupItems/mDNSResponder/mDNSResponder stop

2) I had to pop some holes in my firewall for Bluetooth (ports 3000-3004) and DNS (53) to enable the phone to talk to my powerbook at all.

So now, using this script I can get my phone talking IP to my Powerbook. But, I still can't get it to look up DNS for IP addresses. And I can't figure out how to see the ppp line that mRouter uses for iSync...

I can get DNS from the machine itself, but not from the phone...
