This problem was so complicated in the XDA/Qtek. They said it is straight forward for the XDA II/i-mate.
I tried first using the i-mate as a modem via the bluetooth connection, after plugging a bluetooth dongle (USB to Bluetooth) to my Desktop PC.
It worked perfectly, with no complications at all. And it's fast.
But up to now, I didn't succeed in using the infrared connection nor the USB connection. I tried to install the modem in USBMDM.inf that comes with the companion CD: nothing (no listed modems). I downloaded and installed the IrCOMM2k for the infrared port, but then again, no modems (unless I go back to the old standard 9600!)
Any help or clue ?

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)?

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
I have managed to use the blue tooth serial modem, but I seem to constantly drop blue connection. (This happens with the headset too and use the lates Buzz fix???)
I am using Voice command which has the culprit for many bugs, could this be the reason behind my inability to keep a bluetooth connection.
I cannot connect using the USB modem that came the Jasjar, I get a comm port 0 error non-stop. any clues how to work around this?
I do know that if i click on the USB modem icon on the PC, it does allow to selecta USB modem, the box is greyed out.
Using the latest O2 rom
I'm trying to use my WM6 Black 8525 as either Bluetooth or USB modem. Cannot connect to my Thinkpad T60 laptop built-in Bluetooth as it only has Active Sync Bluetooth Service nor my Vista finds any devices that support PAN.
Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance!
in vista do not try to get the modem over bluetooth working as pan. Do it as a dial up connection from the settings in internet explorer. On my hp I just partnered the bluetooth then went to add connection in ie. i found it with no trouble. I think it must be very dependant on the bluetooth stack on your pc. On my hp there is a process running called BTStackServer.exe that is doing it. On my dell this is not the case and it just will not work. In that case I use the wireless modem program built into the phone with a usb cable. following the instructions in help gets it to work fine.
I have also used the usb method on two xp desktops so it works just about everywhere.
With the pan, i think the problem with windows mobile devices is that they are acting in the same direction as a pc would. They are looking for a device, not acting as one. I bought a bluetooth dongle for one of my xp machines and installed the bluesolie software (stack?) and both ends showed the other as a pan device but both ends just waited for the other to expose their functionality until they timed out. i tried it with a hermes and a trinity.
I have an old (2004) but still working UK O2 XDA II. It is running the original Windows Mobile 2003 and ROM version 1.7.2.00WWE.I am trying to connect a Dell laptop Inspiron 6400 running Vista to the net via the XDA.
I have installed Windows mobile device center and have tried to connect via a Bluetooth dongle and a USB connection using the O2 cradle supplied. I have set up a Bluetooth connection and tried to connect via this, also the USB connection but to no avail.
Any help with the settings etc would be very much appreciated!
Or is it necessary to be running WM 2005 for this to be possible?
