Hi,
did anyone manage it? For me it works fine via USB, but not via BT.
When I press "Connect" on my PPC a Bluetooth PAN with my notebook is established. Everything looks fine exept the notebook doesn't receive any data.
Switching the Bluetooth PAN in Internet Sharing back to USB, WinXP recognizes a internet sharing device and everything runs like a charme.
What's wrong?
I've just been using it via bluetooth, works very well.
I do find bluetooth related things very variable though. To set it up on this occasion I had to get the phone to discover the pc, only then could I get the pc to discover even though I had the phone in discoverable.
I was then offered the PAN service from the phone on the PC and it created an icon on the desktop.
Ok. Got myself a new and better BT USB Stick (Belkin instead of no name ebay).
Now it runs like hell. Very great feature!
Hello,
I did a search and didnt find much, I also checked on Wiki and they explain how to use it as a modem via bluetooth dial up networking. I would like to use the bluetooth PAN feature in Internet Sharing but cant get it to work.
Firstly, I got the bluetooth dongle connected with the Bluetooth PAN. It tells me that they are connected and communicating with each other, the bluetooth software (bluesoleil) even provides me with an ip address, however when I try browsing on my laptop I get the message page cannot be displayed...
Can anyone please shed some light as to why it does not work?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
Seems like when the connection is established it gives the windows bluetooth adapter a weird ip address
like: 169.254.6.198
but I checked in network adapters of the 8525 everything is set for ip addresses to be assigned automatically .. strange..
in windows xp its also set to assign the ip address automatically :S
im not sure what else to do..
Launch Internet Sharing on your Hermes & set the PC connection to bleutooth PAN. Now, make sure the Network Connection is set to your correct data connectiion and press connect. It should say "Waiting for connection" Next, connect your PC & Internet Sharing should show "Connected". If you still can't surf then its a bluetooth driver issue on your PC. The built in M$ bluetooth stack (XP SP2 & >)works correctly with bluetooth PAN for sure. YMMV on others. The latest Toshiba BT stack definitely works too (based on pesonal experience).

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!
Can anybody help? I've been trying to figure out how to use the wifi tethering app with bluetooth instead since the wireless card on my laptop has been acting up. Bluetooth connects just fine and it only shows that the phone can only do activesync, audio gateway, and object push. It doesn't see the bluetooth tethering.
