Hello all, I am having a very annoying problem at the moment with my PDA

I have an HP iPaq 2210 which is working perfectly. It has always connected to the internet through the supplied cradle from HP but Ive decided I need a wireless option.
Today, I purchased a Belkin Bluetooth Wireless Adapter in the hope I can perform tasks downstairs for example. It can establish a network connection with my desktop PC, it can do Bluetooth Activesync and even send and recieve files

BUT I CANT GET IT TO DO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING - WIRELESS INTERNET!

I am very annoyed as this is the one thing I wish to do the most. I would like to be able to hook my iPaq 2210 to my pc and share its broadband internet connection

Can someone please tell me how to do this?

First, I suggest you go through the Bluetooth guides over at Geekzone:

They have a number that you might want to run through first, as there are several possibilities.

Thats helped a little. Now at least when I click CONNECT on my iPaq it actually does something

But im stuck again!

It gives me a Network logon screen asking for a username, password and domain. The username comes up as my first name but the rest is blank.

What do I do here??

Ever tried not entering anything? I think that also happens for me, but did never suuply user information.
I usually do it like this:
On Windows I have a bluetooth profile: LAN Access. With the help of Internet Connection Sharing, I can use this to connect to the internet and do whatever I want...
