Have you enabled the blue tooth option on your mobile phone? You can open the blue tooth setup on the mobile phone and then try to search for your laptop's blue tooth. It should detect your laptop as a blue tooth device. After that you have to pair both the devices by giving a password on them. Then you can set is as trusted so that you do not have to enter that password each time you want to connect.

I used the net inst CD. I can install it again no problem, and change all the settings for network, which are probably wrong anyway.Here are the details: I can connect to the router using a USB, if there is a way to configure that in Debian, that would be very helpful, please note i only have the basics of Debian just now - command line...Wireless is improbable just now, at least until i get connected using the USB.
