connecting internet via bluetooth

Hi community!
I have an USB Bluetooth on my desk computer which has a permanent internet connection. I want to connect to internet with my XdaII and i want to use the computer's internet connection.(and also use bluetooth to sync my pda.) I tried the "connect via bluetooth" option in Activesync program on my pda but nothing happens although bluetooth is on and my computer is discoverable.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thank you for your time.

If you set your Activesync to stay connected after you sync, you should be able to use the internet through that connection.
I just tried it and I am getting 483k transfer speeds.
Thanks,

i tried 6 times, but it doesn't help, nothing happens if i press "connect via bluetooth"button.
thank you guys though.

did you follow the guide as in
add a com port as bluetooth on both the pc and on the pda
and bound with the pc checking out that you wanted to sync that way ?

thank you rudegar, i tried it 3 times again and on the third time it connected
thank you for your time.
i can connect to internet easily now.

Activesync over Bluetooth

Has anyone managed to get activesync over bluetooth working ok? When I get the laptop to find the phone it says the only service available is dial up networking, and therefore doesn't allow me to connect to activesync?
I've got an XDA IQ
Thanks
Graham

Have you synced to the laptop using USB first?

PDA as modem - msn wouldn't login

Hi!
I know this is a question is on the edge of what this forum and web-site is about, but let me explain my problem and see if anyone have any tips
I work with PDAs of all types, and the problem is not related to brand, if it is Windows Mobile 5 or 6 (Modem Link vs Internet Sharing, even tested Modem Link on a WM6 device since I get pre-samples) or tele-operator.
At home I haven't got Internet via ADSL/Broadband - I have to use a PDA as modem to surf on the internet. I have one hotmail-account and one Yahoo-account. When I try to login, it seems to login - shows contacts briefly - loads the icons in the MSN application (MSN Windows Live Messenger 8.1) - and the disconnects - starts to reconnect, and the same happens again.
I use Activesync 4.5, but have used 4.2 which I "trust" (if that is possible) more. Have disabled "Allow USB Connections". I just thought of using USB Killer to force serial communication - I will get back to the result of this..
I have installed AVG Anti-virus (free personal edition), Spyware Doctor and SpyBot. Tried to disable these and make changes to internal Windows Firewall. Without success..
At work my PC is connected to internet via ADSL and everything works, well okay. Sometimes MSN freezes, but no login problems. I have a theory about it has something to do with the IP the PDA gets from the tele-network, but tried the APN for public IP-address..no success.
Have anyone experienced problems like me when using PDA as modem ? As I use MSN for my job I would be very happy to get tips!

a bit confusing "At work my PC is connected to internet via ADSL and everything works, well okay. "
is this pda related? are you saying that your normal pc with a normal network is ok with msn?
or are you connecting your pda to that pc as well
are you using activesync to try to get your pda to connect to your pc at homes network or other other way around?
your phone isp can block all ports they want which could result in msn issues of cause then it would be both on the pda and the pc

when you try to use internet sharing on your ppc at home, are you able to browse web sites/read mail on the home pc ?

I am using a laptop at work, which I bring with me back home.
At work I connect to internet via ADSL, not using PDA there. MSN have no (not login problems) problems at work.
At home I usually disable "Allow USB Connections" in Activesync, connect PDA to laptop via USB cable, wait a bit - then use Internet Sharing to connect via the GPRS connection I have configured on the PDA.
It works just fine to surf, send e-mails, etc. But, when I start MSN on laptop - it starts the handshake-process, it seems to login - loads the sidebar icons in MSN and "the connection is lost" (msn) - I can still surf on the internet. MSN keeps reconnecting.. login..closes the connection. etc. at the end..after minutes or many hours it will log me in.
I will try some brand new devices tonight as modem. By the way, switching from RNDIS communication to Serial - between laptop and PDA didn't help.
Any help appreciated!

Small update..
Yesterday I tried a brand new unknown unofficial WM6 device as modem. Configured GPRS, used Internet Sharing and it logged on to msn without any trouble. I will test it more before I come to any conclution if this just was one-time-luck or..

how to connect to Desktop ad-hoc?

Does anyone know how i can connect using my prophet to my desktop adhoc internet shaing?
Is there any specific setting?
I tried connect with my N93i to my desktop ad-hoc and it has no problem wif internet surfing.. but once i try on my prophet it fail to let me use the internet (at 1st the Wifi connect was connected, once i start to go to google page, it cut off automatically.. repeated many times still can't get it thru)
any pls help me..
thx in advance

are you trying to access your computers internet connection from your ppc or the other way around... i'm confused.
Ad-hoc means "for a specific purpose" you never really told us what purpose

i'm trying to access my desktop internet connection using ad hoc.. i set everythg on desktop, but jus can't connet to it using my prophet

You need to tell activesync (or wmdc) to allow your phone to access the internet connection on your desktop.

can't i jus skip the WMDC part and connect using wifi only to the ad-hoc?
