I want to be able to go on the net on my XDA via bluetooth using my current internet connection on my laptop.
My laptop and main PC are connected to a router, is there anyway to extend this shared connection to my XDA so I can go online on it without using my GRPS.
Any help appreciated.
Simon
activesync -> options -> rules -> pass through - internet.
if u can use pocket IE with the XDAii GRPS off, in the USB cradle,
after the above setup, then it should work when u go thru BT as well.
I sorted it in the end.
Uninstall Bluetooth Dongle
Reinstall Bluetooth Dongle
Hard Reset XDA
Works a treat now and good range too, well over 20m......so far!

Yes it is possbile. You need to connect via bluetooth activesync. It might depend on what bluetooth your laptop uses. Mine is Belkin and that works great.

any special setup
Hi i am connected via bluetooth activesync but still can't access the ADSL Internet that my PC is using. do i need to make any changes any where.
thanks
can u be kind enough to let me know the procedures for using bluetooth and activesync...i have tried but failed.
thanx
it took me a whole day work to get it work and at the end i discover 2 things.
1. We have to read manuals carefull and follow instalation instructions for bluetooth software and driver .
2. to activate activeSync simply go to you XDA II and select ActiveSync from start --> activeSync and then go to tools and select connect via Bluetooth.
thats it, now how can i make it access internet using ActiveSync , i have no IDEA
check if there is a V before PASS-TROUGH ( in activesync )
Hi what do you mean by a V before PASS-TROUGH!! , i have selected in RULES to use internet and i checked "open active synch when my mobile connect"
If I buy a bluetooth USB adapter for my PC, can I then share and transfer files between my XDA2 and my PC? If so, are there any particular specs I should look for in an adapter? Also, would this then be able to allow my XDA2 to use my PC's internet connection (ADSL)?
Lee.
yes using activesync just like when you connect using the cattle / usb
if the bluetooth usb follow the std of bluetooth then it should act the same no matter which adaptor you get
special settings
do i need to make special settings to make the XDA II access internet via blouetooth activesync. i finally managed to get my device connect to my pc using bluetooth.

Hi,
The only setting you need to do is on PC ActiveSync. Go to Options > Rules > Pass Through (at the bottom of the page) and choose The Internet.
That's it. Once your PC is connected to the Internet, you XDA with Bluetooth ActiveSync can also enjoy the Pass Through Internet.
Cheers
joparp i did the same thing and it is not working!!!
Hi i have an XDA 2 and a MSI bluetooth USB adapter (the range of the adapter doesn't matter as far as i can tell because its the XDA 2's 10m range thats the limit). The XDA 2 connects through to the PC using active sync. Active sync doesn't have bluetooth support but this is ok because it can connect to serial (com ports). PC Bluetooth can create virtual com ports to connect to so just make sure that your PC active sync is set to your virtual com port. Then all you have to do is click on tools (in active sync on XDA 2) and select connect via bluetooth. Works great! free FAST internet when in range of the pc (10m open air) and if i can get it working with bluetooth, accessing the lan using Pocket Lan (if anyone knows how i'd love to know! ). hmmmm access to mp3's on pc network
Thanks to the last chap who told me to use activesync to view web pages using bluetooth.. the problem is "How" to get it to do that.. I have a little bluetooth dongle on the pc but they don't seem to talk to each other even though they are bonded.. and precisely how do i view an internet page using bluetooth
Do you tyhink it may be a bluetooth compatiblilty issue.. I've heard that maybe a different dongle and driver may do the trick?
The Idiot's guide would be much appreciated!!!

Hi,
I downloaded the Bluetooth application ("fix") from here:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
Then Bluetooth works perfectly with my 3com PCMCIA card in the laptop.
I now only do ActiveSync via Bluetooth with one exception - when I want to send music via Windows Media to the Imate I have to use the cradle or cable because the bluetooth appears to the laptop as a serial link and the Windows Media does not support serial devices.
I can also use internet on the Imate via ActiveSync and bluetooth - although generally I stick to the laptop for that !
Regards, Dave
Thanks but unfortunately the fix doesn't bring up a web page anymore.. what is it that your suggested fix is fixing? AArrghhh! Can someone please come to the house and sort it out!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again,
This bluetooth fix allows a simple connection from PC to Imate via ActiveSync and Bluetooth. It does not address internet issues.
Have you tried connecting the Imate/XDA2 to a PC with cable or cradle and then used Internet ?
It could be that your problem is not with Bluetooth - have you tried the Connection settings ? or, have you check the ActiveSync settings on the Imate.
Rgds, Dave
I probably understood your problem. You can't connect your Xda via ActiveSync via bluetooth.
First..assure the 2 Bluetooth devices are on discoverable mode.
Then go into your Pocket Pc START-Settings-System-Blueooth settings-tap to Bluetooth ActyveSync setup[start]
Select Discoverable mode and Tap in Bonded devices and NEW..
So..wait and Select your pc.
Then you will pair your pc with Pda.
Inserted the same code on 2 devices you probably can connect to ActiveSync via bluetooth.
Simply go in your Pocket pc,START-ActiveSync-Tools-Connect via bluetooth.
If this not help,try to set the right port on your PC ActiveSync-File-Connection Settings-COM1-2...etc..
Contact me if problems seems unsolved

I've been trying to setup a network between my XDA iis and my desktop PC. I want to be able to access the internet connection which my pc has on broadband, and to access the pc's files and printer. Also to access the xda files from the pc via shared folders etc.
My setup is a bluetooth usb adaptor pluggedinto the pc with belkin software installed. The xda has BT already on it.
I have no idea how to go about now etting up the connection between them. I think what I need is a VPN but I'm not sure.
Please can anyone talk me through the setup, it's driving me mad to a point of disliking the xda?
Bluetooth can be a pain, and not particularly fast compared to wifi.
Synopsis:
You don't need to use VPN, just a standard bluetooth serial port (eg Com 6), use PC's activesync to connect through eg Com6 and set your PDA to activesync through bluetooth.

Well i originally had a wifi card on the advice of a pc store, and was told I could set it up peer to peer without a router. This was a complete failure and in the end they swapped it for BT card instead. Is it going to be easier and more reliable to setup a router for wifi rather than peer to peer?
you can only get data over bluetooth with the ms stack if you are connected to activesync using bluetooth

the problem is tha it dont support the PEN profile
of cause if your bluetooth stack is vidcomm or broadcom then look here

I seem to be missing the Wireless modem app. Supposed to be in the programs folder, right? Using vp3Gs WM6. I'm trying to use my 8525 as a bluetooth fax. I have been searching the threads and internet, all instructions point to this program, but I don't know why it is not on my phone. Also, when I discover available services on my phone from my laptop, Dial up networking does not show up, how come? Please help.
Edit: DUN and internet sharing now working, still working on BT fax
DUN
With WM6 you have Internet Sharing. DUN is no longer included.
If you hook up your laptop via the USB cable to the phone and run Internet Sharing you will be fully connected to the internet.
Good luck mate,
Andrew
OK, thanks for the help. Now what about using the phone as a bluetooth fax modem?

Well so it should on WM5 as well be but for some reason i can only use the internet sharing via bluetooth only when
1. launch internet sharing on Tytn and connect with Bluetooth PAN
2. Launch mobile internet explorer and navigate a page or 2 on the tytn.
3. launch bluetooth network connection onlaptop and connect.
4. restart IE or Firefox on laptop and cross your fingers,
it never has worked when doing via USB.
annoying because i run out of power often when using bluetooth for any legnth of time
BT Fax
If you do a search in the WM6 forum you will see a post about BT DUN on WM6. I got it working for my TomTom 910, BT Fax ought to be the same.
Edit:
go to the last post on the first page

Bluetooth fax?
OK, so far, so good.
I used the above links and got internet sharing and DUN to work over bluetooth. Any info on getting BT faxing to work. When I go to my laptops (Dell xps m1210) control panel, phones and modems, I see BT modem, and BT faxmodem, but when I query them under the diagnostics screen, it says the modem fails to respond.
