Hi,
I was in the middle of doing this myself this morning...
This is what I have done however, I set-up most of the BT settings a while
ago and cannot remember what I changed exactly. therefore you might need to
do additional steps if what you see does not correspond with my steps
below...
I use Win XP with ipaq 2210. It is my work desktop connected to the
Internet via a local LAN.
1. Ensure you have the BT Network access service on your win XP
2. On your Internet connection (the PPP?) enable the ICS (In my case, this
is my corp LAN NIC)
2a. Your 'second' NIC (The BT network NIC) will be given the IP address
192.168.0.1. Add a DNS server...
3. Configure the PPC to connect, via BT, to a 'Connect to the Internet'
connection
4. On the next page select the first option (via LAN)
5. Search for the device and tap the device
6. The PPC will discover the service. Click Finish
6a The service will try to connect. If it connects, fine, if not,
continue...
7. Go into 'BT Connection Settings' on the PPC and select Advanced
8. Select 'Select Networks'
9. Select Edit for your Bluetooth settings
10. select edit on the next page
11. select next twice
12. You should now be at the user name page. Select Advanced
13. Click on the TCP/IP tab
14. You have the choice of using DHCP or a static address. Personally, I
use a static address in
the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet
15. select the Servers tab and type in a DNS server
16 Tap OK, then Finish, then OK, then OK, then OK
17. Start the Internet connection from BT Manager
Assuming that Mauricio is right, following his instructions should get you
passed the Authentication stage. Personally, I use a user name and
password, but that may be redundant!
I can now surf the Internet over BT. I had a connection problem - i had an
alias on my corp LAN NIC which was stopping the routing of packets. Also,
the DNS server I used was down!
A great app for testing network connectivity is vxUtil and it is free!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Mike.
