New information after my update to Lucid. It looks like that with Bluez v4.x there is no way to share my internet connection with my phone. No hcdi.conf, I can't see /etc/default/bluetooth, it seems that without the Bluez 3.x package installed there is no way.

However I'm posting here the changes needed for my Lucid Lynx to share my internet connection with my Palm Centro:

1. pair the phone and the pc using the standard bluetooth interface (on the taskbar)
2. sudo apt-get install bluez-compat
3. gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
4. Uncomment the line "net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1"
5. sudo sysctl -p
6. gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/dun
7. paste inside the file (and adapt it to your network configuration):
115200

192.168.2.1:192.168.2.2

local

ms-dns 192.168.0.1

noauth

debug
8. sudo /usr/bin/dund --listen --persist --msdun call dun --nodetach
9. launch the connection from your phone, it worked for me.
