I just installed my brand new USB BT dongle and I am learning my way as I go. I want to get my network connection setup first so that I can share my internet with my ipaq.

I managed to get a connection between my Ipaq and my PC using the "Network Access" service. I then shared the internet conection, (LAN connnection) on the desktop and was able to get on the internet through my ipaq! That was neat.

I logged on to msn messenger, checked my email, and browsed the web. I was even able to connect to my desktop´s HDD (and even its CD player) by using File explorer. I was also able to open the office printer´s web page (PIE) to see its status and everything, pretty neat! range was great too.

The problem that I am having is that when I get disconnected or turn the BT off, If i want to reconnect to my PC, I have to click over the network access icon on the ipaq´s Bluetooth manager. -It wont reconnect automatically. When my PPC is disconnected and needs to get back online it tries to make a dialup connection through BT. How do I set it up so that the PPC reconnects to my PAN when needed? (So I dont need to switch from PIE to the bluetooth manager and reconnect to my PAN)

thanks for your help.

here is the setuop that I am using:

Office,
Linksys USB dongle
Ipaq 1940
WinXP with a fixed IP and internet through the office´s LAN

At home,
same setup as above, but with an ISP assigned IP address.
