In the following link a guide that shows you how to connect your PDA to the Internet using the Bluetooth and your PC as a gateway.

I tried this method on my previous PDA which was i-mat 2k and wm2003 and it works fine.
Now I have i-mate K-JAM with wm5 OS 5.1.70 (Build14402.1.1.0) and there is no Bluetooth Manager, or any option like before.
any one have ideas how to do this in the new version
Anybody have an HP (Compaq) nc6400 laptop? It has built-in BT but doesn't appear to support PAN. WOuld the best idea be to buy a BT Dongle that does support it adn turn off the built-in one?
Prob is BT Stack
I had an HP NC6200 and the problem is in the BT Stack. Remove the software that came with the HP and install the MS drivers/stack and once the install completes, the option to "Join a Personal Area Network" will be available.
Just an aside....i dont prefer the MS BT Stack but in this case I know it works because my Dell has a Toshiba BT Stack and I had to do the same thing. Widcomm BT Stack is my preference.

OK, thanks for your help. Will give it a go. i guess the MS drivers are available on the MS site?
uninstalled the HP bt software but not sure where to find or how to install the MS stack?
OK, I've given up on the in-built BT. Got a BT USB dongle and Blue Soleil. Now PAN works and I can use my Hermes as a 3G modem.
good so far....
but how do you get ActiveSync to work over BT? Is it possible?
It would be much cheaper and easier just to download/buy Bluesoleil software from IVT - it works with all dongles, also with BT device you have inside your HP laptop.
yeah - it works with my dongle but not with the inbuilt device.
How do i get ActiveSync to work over BT?
If you disconnect the new dongle and install fresh demo from IVT website, Bluesoleil and then activate the built-in BT, it will work. Until you will buy license, there will be 5MB data limit.
I use BlueSoleil it with my built-in dongle from HP (nc6000).
ActiveSync is possible using virtual COM port on Bluetooth. There is sometimes ActiveSync service in some Bluetooth stacks, but I think IVT doesn't support it. If you want to use BT directly, you might need to switch to MS Bluetooth or Widcomm stack. Don't ask me how - never used MS stack.
BTW: there should be update for your Widcomm stack for your laptop - I think Bluetooth PAN is now standard (but painful to use with Widcomm).
When I try this the HP Wireless assistant takes over and BlueSoleil says "please insert your BT device".

OK, no probs. I put it in Hermes WM6 because of the requirement for Internet Sharing after I upgraded to WM6 and therefore needed PAN but I accept that it is more of a general issue
I've upgrade my himalaya to WM5, but i still have the same problem when i still use 2003. My device cant be detected as PAN device. I need it to make my himalaya as remote presenting.. How can i connect to Comp? or how to setting PAN bluetooth?
as far as i know the ms bluetooth stack never supported PAN
with 2003 one could install vidcomm bluetooth stack and get the profile
not sure if there are any working vidcomm stacks for 2005 though
good morning all. I am attempting to establish a personal area network with my wizard. I did a little research and found out that the windows mobile 5 bluetooth drivers failed to have PAN implemented in there stack. I found the widcomm bluetooth drivers for windows mobile, but they didn't work and trying to remove them forced a hard reset. anybody know how I could get PAN on my wizard? I'm testing on manila beta 4 windows mobile 6.
I need a solution or pach to watch www.antena3.ro/live.php own hp iPAQ hx2750, Qtek 9100, HTC Vox with wm6.1
see on your computer, but not mobile. wireless connection is used.
most likely to detect mobile device, the site does not accept connections only from your computer or connection via mobile vodafone.
The original version of software was able to open pages in pc (internet explorer)
