Hi

I wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to use my Ipaq and laptop to connect to the internet via my broadband home PC. They all have Bluetooth adapters.

I can do this with ipaq and activesync, but the connection doesn't seem to be stable. I haven't figured it out yet for my laptop. Do I need to go near ethernet and proxy servers??

Thanks

I think you need a router because you are changing network when you use a network card.

Have a look at WinRoute Lite from http://www.kerio.com/us/wrl_home.html

I have not managed to get the analogX proxy server to work with wireless though it works with wired LANs (you know, the kind of networks our grandparents used :)

Your bluetooth device should have software to enable the sharing of network connections and internet access to be set on the 'server' device. You can also share access to serial ports, modems, fax, and printers.

Once you connect to the 'server' all should be well...
