I bought a usb bluetooth dongle which used xtndconnect software, no joy at all with syncing my xda2, no serial profile that I could discern and basically all I could do was beam files back and forth. I saw on ebay a cheap usb dongle that supported voice gateway, there was no disc with it, just a link to download the widicom software from the sellers site, any way I installed it, I bonded my xda2 with the pc, the xda2 asked me did I wish to use my pc as a headset, I answered yes. I then went to bluetooth setup on xda2 and told it to use bluetooth activesync, it gave an error, saying "bond with serial profile" or something, I thought it was another brick wall dead end, then up popped a message, "activesync setup complete". I then opened activesync on the desktop and it works great. Also if I use my phone while in range of the pc it diverts the audio to my pc speakers and I can use my pc mic to answer. The dongle cost less than £20 in uk. I have to initiate sync by bluetooth on xda2.
The only thing I cant do is browse the web through the bluetooth even when synched, it insists on dialling a number. Can anybody give me the settings, pass thru works with usb connection.
I now have full internet access over bluetooth. I can even access it from downstairs while my pc is upstairs, solid connection, no dropping of signal and very fast compared to dialup over gsm.

I have just purchased a class 1 dongle with 100m range, and use the software you mention through my laptop on windows XP Pro.
How did you set up the xda to web browse using bluetooth and your PC broadband connection ?

I set up all the services I required, then on desktop of your pc click My bluetooth places, choose "my network access". After double clicking on that, click properties, there is a drop down box above "configure network adaptor" choose "allow internet access". Now as long as you are synced you can access the internet. When setting up activesync on xda2, make sure you havent bonded with any other item, go to settings/system/bluetooth, choose "activesync over bluetooth" make sure bluetooth is in "discover" mode beforehand, from there it should search and find the serial port on the pc and should work when you click activesync from programs, then at the bottom left options screen choose "sync by bluetooth". Hope this helps. I could not get any of this to work using another dongle that was using xtndconnect. By the way, the xda2 is very limited in its range for bluetooth regardless of the dongle on your pc.
cruisin-thru, many thanks for your help with Bluetooth Synch issues in these forums. Couldn't have done it without you!
I've just received my VOIP bluetooth dongle (Same as yours? PenBlue?) and got it working with ActiveSync and browsing the Interweb with the XDA2 over bluetooth. Awesome!
Can't work out how to get the network working, though. Scanning other topics here, there seems to be no way without installing the 'new' (Widcomm?) bluetooth stack on the XDA2, and enabling Internet Connection Sharing on the PC. I'd rather not clutter up the XDA2 with another BT stack, and I'm certainly not enabling ICS and buggering up my LAN settings here, just to get the network.
Can you suggest anything? You've been fairly quiet on this subject - wondered whether this PenBlue dongle makes it possible without all this dual-BT-stack skullduggery.
TIA
I'm typing on a RF wireless keyboard and mouse, that is ultimately controlling a laptop over WIFI, that is ultimately connected to my T-Mobile Dash via Bluetooth, that connects to the internet via GSM/GPRS/EDGE.

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to ask but here's my question.
I have O2 atom with wm6.1. I want to share my desktop internet connection via usb with the ppc. How can I do that?I'm using wired adsl therefore it is not possible for me to have wireless connection unless i buy a new wireless adsl modem.
when connected to activesync it share the connection
unless your settings on the ppc or the pc is blocking it
Hey guys. I have a small problem with my AT&T Fuze and the app called WMWifiRouter. I can succesfully connect my Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 7 to the internet by USB and wifi, but not by bluetooth. I know that Bluetooth PAN is required but my phone is listed as one of the devices that has Bluetooth PAN. I even checked and it has a Bluetooth PAN adapter. I recenetly bought a bluetooth dongle for my laptop so it can use bluetooth because i wanted to try the bluetooth connection. When i go and connect my phone and my laptop, it doesnt give a connection via PAN. It only provides DUN, the connection that WMWifiRouter says not to use. Can anyone help me to connect my fuze to the laptop via WMWifiRouter so i can use the internet?
Hello!
I have Samsung Galaxy S2
I want to get Internet on my phone from notebook using bluetooth adapter (Wifi router is absent)
Files are transfered from adapter successfully, but phone doesn't have internet access
Adapter is configured as a network device (ip address, gate, etc).
But it looks like the phone does not understand that access to Internet is possible using bluetooth adapter .
Tell me, please, how phone should be configured ?
You can share only the internet phone(data or wifi) with the bluetooth tethering or the USB.
But I don't think is possible with pc, the only way is to buy a small Wireless adapter (in my country a mini usb 150mbps adapter costs about 10€) and use it as a hotspot
I think your laptop is connected to the Internet via LAN cable so your wireless adapter is unused. So maybe you can use connectify which turns your computer's WLAN Adapter into a wireless router.
