Connecting to Laptop through WiFi dongle

So I bought myself a WiFi dongle (802.11g) so that I could surf the net/pick up emails on my XDA by using a WiFi link to my laptop which is connected to the internet via ADSL. The laptop recognises the WiFi dongle but I can't get a connection between the laptop and the XDA. Both are in open mode with no security (i'll get the system working and then add security). The XDA can find the signal, says it is conencted, and then drops it again. I know it's not a range/power issue as they are right beside each other! Can anyone offer me advice on how to get the two devices talking please?

If you want internet on your XDA then just setup Active Sync via Bluetooth or Wifi. (AS 3.x)

Well I'm slightly further on than I was earlier - I have now managed to 'connect' to my laptop but I still cant 'see' the internet through the XDA. I can surf using bluetooth over Active synh but the range is too small so I want to use WiFi. I've run the internet sharing wizard but still no joy - what do I have to do?

hhmmm
you can do that without any software at all
if you are connected to activesync with bluetooth
you have full access to the network your pc have
unless you block it

I can connect to internet through Activesync, no prob.
I was hopping to connect as if I have wifi, not through cridle

you can if your bluetooth stack support PAN
and you setup inet sharing http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork

Thanks man
I was hoping to link to the internet through Wireless network as if i have wifi
thanks again

you say
"My PC have bluetooth & Wifi
My PDA Have only bluetooth (Himalaya)"
if your pc is connected to the internet using wifi
and your pda is connected to your pc using PAN bluetooth
and you have internet sharing
then you have internet over wifi on your pda
well internet over bluetooth->wifi

I'm sorry if my sentences were not clear
I want to connect to the Internet while no PC beside me
Only Wireless network as if i have Wifi in the mobile
Could this happen by bluetooth?
Thanks for ur care to reply very fast.

no bluetooth only pda can not connect to a wifi network without a pc with wifi being the middleman
or another pda or mobile which can act as bluetooth modem for the pda without wifi

Thanks man u have been very helpfull

Bluetooth Internet connection

Hello.
I have a question if anybody can help me.
I have a laptop connected to the internet. This laptop has built-in Bluetooth device. I also have a HTC touch dual phone.
I'd like to know, is there any possibility as the phone to use the laptop's internet connection via Bluetooth? (I mean, the phone to be connected to the computer via Bluetooth and using the computer's internet connection)
Thank you and any help is appreciated.

You could use a bluetooth activsync connection. (while connected via Activesync you should beable to access the internet.)

Could you please explain how to do it? I tried several times but did not work at all...

check this guide here - worked for me

Thank you. I will try today an seeif it is working for metoo... would be wonderful while Niki doesn't have WiFi...

I have a bluetooth activsync connection..when I use internet via bluetooth on my Touch Dual it works well, but after 10 minutes internet explorer says the connection is shut down, and i can't load web pages anymore.
But the connection with active sync is still up
It only works again if disconnect and connect again. Is this a Internet timeout or some..? Does someone know what to do about it.
Excuse me for my english

My problem is I dont even have internet connection when the device is connected to the PC via USB :-( Is there an option in activesync that you need to check to be able to do this?
