Right-click on the bluetooth icon on the taskbar->Open Bluetooth settings->Add…->read instructions and set up a password if you want. Then look at your phone, it should ask you if you allow this connections, (and for the password.)

2. Make sure you have the latest BlackBerry Desktop Manager (4.2 SP1 as of the time this was written.)

Start it up, go to options -> connection settings, check “Enable bluetooth support,” click on configure bluetooth -> add… and add your device.

Then click ok, make sure your phone has bluetooth on. Your desktop manager should be now “connected” with the BB.

Syntax to block an IP address under Linux

iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS -j DROP

Replace IP-ADDRESS with actual IP address. For example if you wish to block ip address 65.55.44.100 for whatever reason then type command as follows:

iptables -A INPUT -s 65.55.44.100 -j DROP

If you have IP tables firewall script, add above rule to your script.

If you just want to block access to one port from an ip 65.55.44.100 to port 25 then type command:

iptables -A INPUT -s 65.55.44.100 -p tcp --destination-port 25 -j DROP

The above rule will drop all packets coming from IP 65.55.44.100 to port mail server port 25.
