I am trying to set up Bluetooth Tethering from my netbook to my Android
phone, and I am running into problems. I have PDANet running on my
phone, which should give me the capability, but I am running into
problems that I *think* are on the UNR end. The phone tells me I am
paired, but not connected. And the netbook sees the phone, but I never
finish the connection. Does anyone have a suggestion? I saw a Web page
from last year that said UNR couldn't really do that out of the box, but
that was an earlier version of UNR.

Thanks,

While setting up tethering on my notebook (under M$) I remember reading
that PDANet required Ubuntu 10.04.

The only caveat I remember.
