I've searched and searched and I can't figure out how to get the Hermes to use a internet connection of a linux desktop over a bluetooth connection. I'd even be interested to know if anyone has done this with a windows host.
It seems that there is no bluetooth serial connection available as a service of the Hermes. Is that correct?

I've been reading various posts here and on other sites and although I've not been able to get a connection between my XDAII and ActiveSync on my PC, it seems that it will be possible.
However, it would seem that getting access to the Internet connection on my PC using a Bluetooth USB adapter and my XDAII will not work until there are Bluetooth profiles created for the XDA. Can anyone confirm this?
Does anyone have any alternatives?
Cheers,
Nic.
The Hermes doesn't support PAN due to its wretched MS BT stack, so how can I share my gprs connection through bluetooth? If impossible, how to share it through usb?
Best regards Johan
Hi, theres an app called PDANet, I use it to connect via usb, but it also is supposed to work over bluetooth and even bluetooth to a mac and share the connection, also you don't have to disable active sync if you use usb to connect to a windows machine
Just create a connexion using bluetooth modem and dialing *99#
Using a modem connection I only get a 633 error, cannot open com port, in windows the modem is set to use COM4, but I only have a incoming com at port 9. I don't know how to fix this, will try pdanet.
I use a widcomm stack on my HP laptop and it works flawlessly; I just had to pair with my tytn and the software automaticely created a generic bluetooth connexion and a generic bluetooth driver. There is only a little trick there; if I start the connexion through windows it won't work; I have to fire it from my bluetooth manager, which realy connect through my phone.
I'm sorry if i'm not the first who askes this:
- is there any way to connect to lan trough buetooth?
I've got the orange spv m600.
Is there a widcom driver for this?
Thanx a lot for your help
No, that's what WiFi is for.
Yeah, i know, but at home i've got a bluetooth acces point which i use to connect 2 laptops to lan. So i also wanted to do this with the prophet.
Now i have to use a computer with active sync to connect to the internet, but i cant acces lan that way.
Good Question
Wifi aside......it would be handy if we could use bluetooth to connect to the lan setup even if just to transfer files. Theres a program for palm that does a similar idea. But I guess really it IS down to having to use wifi for now.
Bluetooth security has always worried me anyway.

I can transfer files with bluezard on wm5 using filetransfer profile
other options for lan and other profiles are also there but i have no way of testing them
Hi
I have been searching for a way to get Bluetooth Networking up between my Laptop(WIDCOMM STACK) and rw6828(WM5). But couldnt get it done.
I have Paried both Laptop and 6828. ActiveSync is up and working fine.
I want to have a bluetooth networking enabled between the laptop and 6828 so that I can use VNC client to control the PC through bluetooth network without having Activesync. But when I read the PC i could see only Serial Port, ActiveSync and Dialup Networking. I couldnt see Network Access.
I could get few links on the net but all of them are representing WM2003.
Does WM5 support this kind of configuration?
Can any one direct me to a step-by-step guide?
Thanks in advance
Can anyone let me know how to enable the networking on Bluetooth+WinXP+WM5?
hi parakash , i think i know you , do you work in garment sector.
anyway after pairing the device with the laptop, you have to connections
and you will find your laptop name there, just follow the line.
Hi Solo
Thanks for the reply. I could Pair with my laptop successfully. But couldnt find Network Connections there after. So wondering if this feature is support on WM5?
BTW I m not in Garment sector.
Portable 3G/HSDPA WiFi Router
Is anyone aware of such an item?
Ideally incl a car charger?
Or is it is possible to turn a WM5/WM6 phone into a portable WiFI AP ?
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.
