I have a belkin bluetooth module, and was interested that WinXP SP2 had updates to the Bluetooth functionality in WinXP.

TO get to the point, I can get an activesync over bluetooth working easily, but I do not see how to enable my desktop to provide Bluetooth Service for LAN connections from other devices (you know, internet sharing). I would rather be able to connect to my home network without using ActiveSync, but the LAN Bluetooth service is not being provided by my desktop PC? Before, Blekin had a "services" tab you could configure all your bluetooth services with - I see nothing of the sort with SP2!

Anyone know how to do this? How do you edit the services that SP2's bluetooth provides?

Geekzone doesn't have anything on this with SP2, so please don't point me there! (unless I am wrong). The closest article I found was for a computer not running SP2 at

This is what I want to do, but obviously doesn't apply because it's not SP2 they are configuring!

Thanks for the help,
Eric
