XDAII Browse Network Neighbourhood ?

Hi All,
I don't yet own an XDA but am looking to buy an XDAII in the next couple of days. I have a question, for which I have tried searching for the answer but to no avail which is. Is it possible, using an XDAII to connect to a LAN via a machine with a USB BlueTooth adapter and browse other LAN connected machines. In a similar way to clicking on Network Neighbourhood from an normal LAN attached PC viewing other PC's shares ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.

Hiya,
I'm also interested in finding this out, is there anyone who knows the solution?

I don't know about performing it over Bluetooth, but it is certainly possible to do it with Wi-Fi using a program called Pocket LAN. In fact, I connected from the car park to my local B & Q store and was able to see all their PCs and printers connected to their network using that method. I was tempted to try and send something to one of their printers, but thought better of it. As to bluetooth, I guess it should be possible providing the machine your trying to connect to is routing IP requests onto its LAN.

Tell us where that B&Q was

I couldn't find Pocket Lan through Google?
Do you know where I could get it? I'll happilyb trade you a beta fo Pocket WiNc for it? :wink:

"how to" view internet pages using bluetooth

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

Missing Wireless Modem app, trying to use BT fax

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.

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.

Good Day,
I'm in the same spot, I am searching in many forums for a solution.
If I find a solution that works I will post it here - please do the same!
My goal is to be able to carry a USB Bluetooth Adapter in my pocket, toss it in my friend's computer and QUICKLY setup a Bluetooth PAN to borrow his internet connection.
If anybody has any other solutions that may work for me I am listening!
Thanks, Audi2Audi.

The .cab file that you will find there will not work this way.
Is allow you to do the opposit. Use your wireless Internet on the computer

Hhhmm...Is anyone able to offer me a solution.
Bluetooth PAN is a service offered at the host PC (I have tried two different PCs) - However, my Bell Mobility HTC Touch (Vogue) does not recognize/offer the service in the Bluetooth Configuration. It only offers Stereo Headset and COM Port. Originally it offered ActiveSync as a service but that has since dissappeared for no apparent reason and replaced with the COM port option.
At home, assuming I could get the ActiveSync service back & to stick around, I could borrow my internet connection through ActiveSync.
As stated above though, I am looking for a QUICK solution when travellling away from home. Meaning without having to install ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center. The Bluetooth PAN option and ICS on the host PC appears to be the most workable solution. It is just a matter of getting the HTC Vogue to recognize it as a service.
Through reading several posts I have come to the conclusion that using a different Bluetooth Stack on the device may work. However, I have not come across instructions specific to the Vogue for achieving this.
Annnnny help or ideas to solve my problem is greatly apreciated!
Thank You, Audi2Audi.
