is it possible to use a bluetooth adapter on your pc and connect to gprs on your pda and use gprs connection on the computer.
I'm trying to connect a laptop and a desktop with bluetooth to the internet via my HTC-S620. I have no problems connecting to the internet via Bluetooth or USB but I want a solution for 2 devices to connect.
Even though Bluetooth and PAN seem to be all the rave, especially with support for mobile devices and USB dongles, I much prefer the flexibility and configurability of WIFI. Under XP, and I assume Vista, Internet Connection Sharing easily supports multiple clients. Under WM6 this does not seem possible even though it apparently provides a DHCP server.
If it were possible to somehow to access the internet from the desktop via the laptops Bluetooth that would be OK since the laptop would be gettig internet via USB but XP auto assigns the same IP as WM6 for ICS. Ideally, both the desktop and the laptop would connect to the internet via bluetooth directly.
Anyone know of any free solutions, hacks or applications that might help?
EDIT: Ok I saw a thread over in the Hermes forum where they were able to successfully connect 2 devices to Bluetooth internet sharing by hacking the registry keys HKLM\Comm\BTPAN1\Parms
AcceptConnections 0x1(1) to 0x2(2)
MaxConnections 0xA(10) to 0x2(2)
However this hack does not appear to work on the HTC-S620 WM61.

Find my old thread on bluetooth dunn, but did you know that the bluetooth dunn codes are already in the Excalibur 6.1 ROM by Kavana and Ricky. You can connect your laptop and PC via bluetooth dunn to the Internet. I now use Kavana's latest 6.1 ROM because of the new Microsoft bluetooth stack. I now have stereo music with surround sound on my Excalibur's. Another thing, you can make phone calls via your BT headset using Microsoft's voice command..............!

I was using Bluetooth on a Windows 2003 Server for Small Business Server. I finally got tired of it disconnecting every few minutes so I use USB and all is ok there. BT PAN works just fine on my XP boxes. When on the road I often would like to have two or more computers share the BT internet. I will look into your suggestion of using DUN instead. Thanks.

Just go to your Communications Manager and select Internet Sharing and follow the prompts from there. Assuming you have BT and drivers on your PC, you should be prompted to pair the devices and establish a BT PAN.
Technology - I tried to find your BT DUN thread by doing a forum search for threads started by "technology" with keywords "bluetooth" and "dun" without success. Can you point my to the thread? Perhaps it was started by someone else.
I was unsuccessful in my attempt to have two clients connect via DUN to my HTC-S620, however, the search for a solution lead to enabling DUN on both my HTC-S620 (T-Mobile Dash with cooked ROM) and my Samsung T409. Both have EDGE data and with the connection teaming capabilites of the Intergate 8.5 software I am able to use both phone modems simultaneously. I have experienced burst speeds of 50.1KB/Sec or 501kB/sec so far.
The Samsung connects to DUN via USB cable and the HTC connects via Bluetooth DUN. Fortunately, I was able to configure the HTC USB Activesync connection as the internal network. I used a laptop that was disconnected from an ethernet or internal network so using the HTC Activesync connection was a work around. The Intergate software configures two connections for the internal network. One for the Intergate and the other for the Microsoft TCP/IP to access the intergate from the server PC. You can have other PCs use this teamed connection as well when connected and configured for a network setup. This was the final step in getting intergate to work properly. So the HTC is connected both via BT and USB.
Now here is the good part. The HTC has T-mobile Total Internet $19.99 but the Samsung has only T-mobile Web $5.99. I was able to configure the DUN settings and initialization strings on both modems for the T-mobile Web proxy (wap.voicestream.com) and (216.155.165.50:8080). The trick here was to configure Intergate to use the T-Mobile Total Internet connection as the primary or default connection. Subsequently, the Intergate connection teaming software is able to team both and where possible utilize both connections. The T-Mobile web connections can only use unblocked ports but it kicks in for port 80 and the other unblocked ports.
Connection teaming will only increase your available bandwidth with when there are multiple connections. So streaming and the like will see no improvement but surfing, downloading and other applications will see better overall performance.
Sweet!
When I'm in the car I have the TP2 connected using bluetooth:
-with the car as a car kit
-with my laptop to share my internet connection
-with my laptop to synchronize my outlook items
This all works, but not at the same time. So if I get in the car the head set mode is switched on and I can share my internet connection. As soon as I startup ActiveSync to synchronize the bluetooth connection for internet sharing is closed.
If I want to start internet sharing again I get the message that ActiveSync needs to be closed before I can share my internet connection.
At work (obviously I don't have headset mode for the carkit switched on) it is possible to have both ActiveSync and the internet connection over blue tooth at the same time.
Any idea to why this is happening? I would think perhaps 3 bluetooth devices can not be active at the same time.
With sharing internet you mean internet to your phone, or internet from phone to your laptop? Makes a diffrence, because internet to your phone and synching is the same bluetooth connection.
I mean sharing my internet connection off the phone to the laptop. This has been working fine on my mda vario III (Tytn II)
And again something new: if the phone is just lying on my desk it is impossible to have internet shared and Active Sync connected at the same time.
As soon as I connect the device to a mini USB (either another computer or the charger) it is able to have both connections over bluetooth.
With my device I can connect to max 2 connections. one i use for my mbw-150 watch exclusive and the other data connection with my notebook. If i activate a third for example to another phone the connection with my watch is seperated.
I have bluetooth Dongle and i would like to share internet from PC computer to mobile via bluetooth, can anyone help me ?
hi...
i have a D-Link DW-G510 (b&g) network PCI adapter installed on my pc
once i create an adhoc connection,my laptop detects it and can connect to it
