Bluetooth HELP

[FunHouse82]

I have a Ipaq 2215 and a 150ft Usb Belkin Dongle. I have been trying to be able to seft the net for weeks. I have tried to change just about every setting that I can but it dosent work. I think my main goal should be able to connect with active sync using bluetooth, becuase when I connect my pda to the pc with a usb port it connect to my computer and serfs the net easy. I am currently using a Lan connection.

PLEASE HELP

I use both my bluetooth and wifi in different situations. At home I use both depending on where I am. At work I use BT for Activesync and wi fi when I'm at a coffee shop.

My PDA cannot pair with my computer. The whole pin key promt comes up and I press 1234 of my comp, and it comes up on my pda and I put 1234 on it... but it dosent work. And says there was an error.

As for the part where you said I need to "share" my internet connect, when I place my pda in the hub it connects online. Just not on bluetooth. I really need help. I am considering returning my bluetooth dongle... perhaps it just dosent work for me or something. The only bluetooth can do is my Pda can see my comp and my comp can see my comp...

You need to go into your network connections in windows and enable internet sharing in the options. I was also able to surf the net from the cradle but not via BT but once I enabled this option in my network connection I had no problem connecting with my PC.

Now the only problem I'm having is syncing :( . I can surf the net no problem and send/recieve email, but I cannot get it to sync yet.
