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"

Can I use Bluetooth to share files between XDA2 & PC?

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

XDA, Bluetooth and the net

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!

Please help, I am struggling to network my xda iis

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
